Time, My Bondage |

Time, my bondage from thee. For in thine eyes I am but a wisp of he that desireth thee. My gait now a hobbled step. Can thee ever know of love within a trickling brook below an old mill that waits the grain? Or... Feel the softness of delicate touch and have a torrent of desire fill thee as a river rages through a withered soul? If but once, I might hear the sigh of morning’s wake as rays warm the satin pillow. Or plait the silken tress before the mirror’s reflect. Or, once drain the fount’s crystal, that I might swill the wine of youth against my silent tongue. In silence I grieve. My sorrow sealed...as dreams swill the palate’s nectar. |

*sigh* even in silence you spin and weave a magic of emotions that flow into the mind of your reader touching the soul....May you find freedom in Time as it moves gently on kissing you with its wisdom and timeless love....Your heart is never in bondage for it soars with the eagles leaving awe and wonder in its wake....**hugs** my friend... |

Oh my...your writing is so elegant. It takes my breath...I feel light of head and pale of face. I have read this piece over and over, savoring and interpreting. Take your time, my friend. Live the dreams you may. Your soul will then be free of bondage. -Patricia |

Thanx Pat... I have been trying to write a poem of a man, much older than a woman he loves. One he loves without her knowledge. Afraid to speak of his love for fear of her leaving. This poem is of his thoughts and feelings. Just a part of my imagination and partially of memories long ago when I was much younger. And I do mean much!!! Karen...I bow humbly to your continued admiration of my words... |
