How softly can you speak the words, That spread within my blood like mercury? As the chattering of white ceases And I swallow the fear whole, still pounding Could you think yourself so small a figment, As to discount the impact of each syllable? A neutron blast to level empires and return the light of creation Yet I would rather face the fact that what we feel is different Than to pretend that what I feel is nothing For you are more More than sun or rain Far more than simply flesh upon bone, upon lust How softly can you speak the words… Of love?

I do not know how softly he can speak of love, but you sure as heck can speak in a full and passionate voice! This was a well-articulated piece of writing, TD!  EA |

"Yet I would rather face the fact that what we feel is different Than to pretend that what I feel is nothing" You formed the words that I was at a loss to find... perfection.  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Your writing is just as lovely as ever, Kathleen. Love is another four letter word, and I'm much too jaded these days. |
