The fabric of our long embrace seems strained
The push and pull that bound us has remained
And quietly I look across the mists of time
And there to see so tenderly your eyes meet mine

For this is not the typical of love affairs
From deeper thoughts in simmer through unflinching stares
To learn the secrets harbored in a tranquil sea
To give and take the tides that rise more easily

In trust of one another as divined it seems
Outside the bounds of romance into living dreams
And quietly I look into the place we share
And honestly to see the smile just waiting there

Once woven into silk the threads of us are lost
Once taken to the heart the bridge of longing crossed
And grown inside these hearts to keep of honey well
And each in turn the taster at the dinner bell

Oh, Kathleen, dear lady...this is so beautiful
it seems divine. I love it all, but I can really
relate to these two verses.  
Hugs,
Ethel

I liked it. good work.

My favorite part! Hehe, probably the reason I left with a good taste in my mouth after I read the poem, you wrote the best first!

TD, I have yet to read a poem of yours that has failed to move me.

Write a book,
I'll read it.

(smiles) Oh Kathleen, this is lovely, sweet friend, how I would only imagine watching the ocean move like honey and the cataracts make variations of maple syrup! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, 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

Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story

Layers, layers,
           and weave, and woof...

and a garment of love
                     keeping all warm...
