Once From The Shadows When I make a place for you The calling will be unmistakable For your hand upon mine will unveil the bark Husk the oaken colored walls into welcoming words Light the candles near the mantle, where my soul at home lay When you enter there to smile The fire will burn warm and willing Day and night, infinite per diem, brighter and fainter Your arms will encircle my shoulders, and mine your waist Where precious things make charmed wainscot and cornices When I trace that place with thought Cupped into your hands will beat my heart Stirring the pleasures of a bubbled bath for two Drying by the fire, eyes dancing in the sharing of the day Light the candles near the mantle, where my soul at home lay When I make a place for you Carved into the pines of summer and snowfall We will walk out into the morning Returning in the evening, full with inner peace Where precious things make charmed wainscot and cornices When you enter there to smile As past prepared us once from the shadows For your hand upon mine will unveil the bark Day and night, infinite per diem, brighter and fainter Light the candles near the mantle, where my soul at home lay Copyright Kkh 2/24/07 |

Try as I might, I will never ever, write love as you do. I curtsey, acknowledge, and claim you, to be the Poetess of love's song. |

"Where precious things make charmed wainscot and cornices" The imagery in this piece is oh so rich ... "unveil the bark ... Husk the oaken colored walls ... " Beautiful read. Enjoyed. always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |

"When I make a place for you Carved into the pines of summer and snowfall" I have to agree with Karilea and the others you constantly amaze me... |

"When I trace that place with thought Cupped into your hands will beat my heart" Absolutely agree with all the above! A beauty! JL Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |
