In your dreams

Don’t say all I have going for me is my innocence
In the end  we’re all broken souls I was just too fragile
I have become sad and lonely and the coldness I feel causes me to shake

Why?
Even in the spring I feel winter...

Days Foretold

21 April 2006


Even in the spring
winter was her grace
Each ounce of sunshine
captured to her face

Her smile was warm
but what of thou art
Was this fall or spring
those seasons of her heart

Surrendering to the light
as if to say something to the wind
Breathe, breathe it all in

Understand that love
for there was warmth to behold
Just to remember, how precious
you truly are, such was each day foretold

To say you do not deserve, what you clearly do deserve and are worthy of, quite obvious my inner-voice does not agree,
because I did compose my above poem for you, only you, and who else might read it.

Therefore your poem, did the talking and all I did was wrote what I saw, thus inspiration.  

Maybe next time, if there is a next time, I will send you a contact message instead (or you can get in touch with me)

Never

31 December 2005


Never apologize for sharing
never say sorry because you care
Never never as never can
take hold and lay you bare

Naked and left out in the cold
never think of it as being
Because to postpone tomorrow
was as much a blindness as seeing

Look up to those
whose help you gave
Take their hand and heart
and to your soul in spirit save

Never say sorry
if that is not what you do mean
Just remember and remember well
eyes are but holden if undecided in being


“The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar;
it shall never go out.”
Leviticus 6: 13 KJV

I confess, I hadn't read this until I took the poetry/answer challenge on, but I'm very glad that I did.

You are such a beautiful young lady, and it leaves me ponderous, but also understanding, too, that you are so much more than that and want to be recognized for that.

*hugs*

and thank you

I have always found you to be intriguing, and you are more than the sum of your very- well-put-together parts.

(psssssssssst? Read Sheldon Kopp's "An End To Innocence---Facing Life Without Illusions)<---and I typed that like I knew, huh?

*chuckle*

and I thank you much, for your generosity in allowing me to write from your inspiration.

This poem was honest, and I understood where you were emotionally, because I've felt this samething.
