Letters of Elle

08 August 2006


Love letters in the breeze
words whispered to the sun
Those good night wishes
in speaking to the moon

A world, a place to seek
this happiness, and eyes to find
Looking, thinking, wondering about her
was it too late, or was last at last

Open doors, a warming soul
this manufacturer of desire
Entangled, engulfed, another to think
this place of heaven, her arms gathered

Away from the darkness
kept in distance of dreams
Was this love, words of letters
an alphabet beginning with Elle


“The spirit in which a thing is given determines that
in which the debt is acknowledged; it's the intention,
not the face-value of the gift, that's weighed.”
Seneca, Letters to Lucilius, 100 A.D.
Roman dramatist, philosopher, politician (5 BC - 65 AD)

Now that is what makes it so hard to share at times in these forums, and the way this site does operate, or was designed to work

Because being read in silence, in relation to anyones writing, still leaves a big ZERO to their name and forum post. It reflects an unappreciated feeling and has a negative impact on those who wish to belong and share their writing here.

While there are good folks with a common cause on this site. The means of feedback or no comments, leaves a person out in the cold. And for that reason they often feel more like a failure than a true person in wanting to be open and share their forms of writing with others

Those are my thoughts anyway, others may not agree.
