There are times, when sun will penetrate into these halls
To brighten the décor and flood again these dankest walls
There are those times allowed to sink within and see
How much you have become that certain sacred part of me

And even as I force myself to close the doors once wide
And even as I seek a different ending, dreams collide
There isn’t anything left undisturbed or sated still
How much of me as claimed in every wish my heart does will

In shudders well the tears, that once again must be released
And sobs receive emotions lightning white and never ceased
To chasms undeniable and endless waves surged high
How much you have become without a sound or second sigh

There are times, when even in the clearest mind confusion swirls
To dim the aches and fill the voids as whirlpool whim unfurls
There are those times allowed when dreams awaken fantasy
How much you have become that certain sacred part of me

Nice poem. I really enjoyed it.. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words

I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait.

And I thought this was going to be a poem
about fishing...sheesh!

Instead,  I find a very deep and passionate,
yet yearning write...from the soul of a
poetess....yes, open water...not a safe
place...for when one is,  that is where the
storms, large waves and denizons of the deep
reside...

(sigh) Oh Kathleen, I just love this, sweet friend, this is gorgeous, and indeed I think there is no exception among us all, for we are all confused yet when it comes to love what does it matter as it purifies and sanctifies you all the same? (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I just love your voice, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Kathleen, I wish so much that I could write love poems the way that you do. You can express your feelings so elegantly. It's simply beautiful.
