the best part of this latest empty is how quietly the door has closed and how the window always has warm looking in from the morning again or how the trees have become round instead of flat shadows standing guard like picket fences pretending to be sheep that one can count with dragging sticks or the hesitation in stranger's voices when they don't say anything special just passing time to another stranger like reading a book without reading or how short the nights have become when one fills them with teaspoons letting the moments be assigned sand and memory being that gentle breeze that can with predictability lose everything ____________ daark [This message has been edited by Dark Stranger (07-17-2012 12:31 PM).] |

I've read many of your poems - but never has one touched me so deeply. I can't copy my favorite parts because I love every word in every line. Tears may blur my eyes with every read, but this is one I'll read many times... it's going straight into my library. |

I agree with suthern, I can't pick out a favorite line because I love the entire poem. It's stunning in its beauty. Ali-san |

Your first verse gave me the warm fuzzies. The view from you is always painted with both a splash and attention to detail. That's what makes your dark colors come alive... for me. |
