Touch me so that I can feel You do this every day Hold me with your voice Embrace with those words you say To keep me from the darkest hour Caress the veil of grief away Touch me to the very core of me Blessed are you with second sight Yet you find me still unaware I am someone lost in plight Enveloped in your memory And held in trance by your eyes Touch me to bring back the color In my world that has gone gray Fearing the same old ghosts Until you chase them all away With only a knowing smile And the little secret things you say |

Embrace with those words you say To keep me from the darkest hour Caress the veil of grief away --- Touch me to bring back the color In my world that has gone gray The gentle whisper of the plea makes it all the more powerful... Incredibly lovely!! |

"To keep me from the darkest hour Caress the veil of grief away" I really like those lines. Of course I like the whole meaning of the piece and how it's written. Eric |

Lovely yearning write. (As for that m'lady reference, perhaps he thinks your first name is Chalmette, last name Guy? Makes sense to me he might think "lady".) |

Midnite, that would be a weird name wouldn't it? lol I guess he, being from the UK doesn't like to think of a name of the place where the British were defeated by those pesky yanks? |

Chalmette is a French word, I think it means valley or plains? Flood plains? Katrina did what the British couldn't do. Mother Nature really is far more powerful than the British, and apparently can outsmart the Army Corps of Engineers too. |

It doesn't take that much to outsmart those nitwits. |
