Where are you when rains fall and waters wash the distant shore? When castles touch the clouds of earth...before our birth of yore. Where is the tingle of flesh that touches me, that brings forth a haunting want, a wanton destiny? Where will the skies remain most clear, as starlights fall into the sea? bringing a blush to ruby lips....their touch my wish...you see. Why does the earth revolve and leave the moon in wait? Soaring ever lazily...as hunger aches to sate. So many questions that touch the night time air....whispers that remain behind....once clothed, alone and bare.

I love your night time whispers, dear Barry! Beneath the starlight we are more inclined to bare our soul! Love, Margherita |

Very sad, but also a journey into the thoughts behind the life of a person. In thoughts not only is their sadness, and questions, but there is always a light of hope. Excellent poem, I enjoyed it very much.  |

Dear Very Barry....So many questions...they are life's steps I think...though sad the way at times. Beautiful heart spill! |

*sigh*...ever your words touch the heart with a tender caress that warms the soul...Romance still blazes forth from a soul who has spent a lifetime filled with love....Magnificent, my friend...***big hugs*** |

How any woman could even want to leave you, is beyond my comprehension, firstly for the good person you are, secondly for your sensitivity, thirdly for your compassion, fourthly for your intelligence, fifthly for your ability to write excellent poetry, sixthly for your ability to be non-Hallmark card romantic and seventhly for your animal slippers. If you didn't write poetry to her, or if you did and didn't show it to her, then that was a huge mistake. This is an exquisite poem, superbly written, and as you see, it has you holding all of us PiP women in the palm of your hand! - Owl |

She...is between pages of blue she...wants the read of you... She...stems gardens gone stone... she...reads you, but alone... ~*~ Ok, so you inspired...what can I say!? Oh, I know just the poet that needs to read this... |

He waits beyond the garden's reach and falls before the dim of day. His quest to hear her written speech and feel the softness of her sway. |

I was sure I read this before but maybe got lost in my reply inspired by such a heartfelt, moving piece, and simply forgot to put it down |

"bringing a blush to ruby lips....their touch my wish...you see." Oh this was so beautiful that it made me ache. I'd love to see some more. :-) |

BJ -- There's a Judy Collins' recording I bet you'd like called, "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress;" I think the song was originally written, maybe recorded, by Jimmy Webb. It speaks to the illusive beauty of the moon....lovely and sad, like this beautiful piece you've written. *hugs*....jo |
