I spend the silent times in doubt knowing you are there pitching words within your hold a softness, showing care. It's not a game, this life of mine though checkered it has been. A Queen I'm not, nor King are you but linked through thick and thin. If distance is the need it seems then distance calls the heart. And shadows will embrace the wait till myst by reigns shall part. Complex the eve of Knightly wait when chivalry's denied. I spend the times in silent hold till warmth returns inside. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

There are parts of these words that are almost erotic, wishful, communicative, demanding of future A lot is packed into these words and they appear both shallow and deep Bodger |

Maureen Distance is hard to breach, but words travel, as yours have in this lovely piece. |
