Wondering my wonder about the tilt of your head as you pour your cup of coffee And do you like toast with jam? Do pictures on walls form haphazard mazes of places you're craving to see? Or are those walls bare and covered with paper coated with memories the air only frames? Do your legs stretch out or do they lie limp forgotten as you rest in a chair on a couch on the floor patterns of which I imagine? What dreams do you send searching into the night, my wonder I wonder does your forehead wrinkle as you sleep? And do little tears form in the corners of your eyes when you yawn your dreams away? Wondering my wonder what colours the sun catches in your curtains? What shrill cry from your telephone comes? And how do you hold the receiver? Do you scratch your head and squint in thought or do you pace and frown or maybe even just sit? These simple mysteries my mystery turn my head with the wondering I have of you The face I've never seen that voice I haven't heard the heart in you beating without a sound I'm deaf to you and your living and blind but I know that somewhere your routines go on and I must only picture them making an inner map of a place I want to go to remove the mystery of you my mystery 19.9.99 KM |

In the wonder of discovering someone's soul, we sometimes miss the 'little things'..this is amazing. I like it a lot!  |

Don't remove ALL the mystery Severn ... things could get boring ...  I like this ... it speaks to me. (Voices! Don't you hear them?!?) tee-hee. Keep them coming, Severn!

Severn, you have painted an impression in words instead of paint and did a wonderful job. |

And the mystery deepens as the pangs of desire go on. Don't worry about solving the mystery severn, because if I know the man who is your mystery, there is slim chance that you will ever find the depths of his mind boring. And how can he fail to be anything less, than what he is? A magnificent poem, that truly touched me more than you might know. [This message has been edited by Christopher (edited 09-20-1999).] |

You don't miss much ;-) This is an amazing poem full of important musings....hope you get the answers some day! :-) ------------------ "We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.....the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?" --John Keating, Dead Poets Society |
