During a course of being inbetween and trying to find a path I could walk alone, across my way came a man, a lover, a bard all rolled into one being, one force, not cloned. Recalling those days of yesteryear all he did was hold me dear and raise up for me a mirror so that I could find myself. At that time I was naive enough to know he had the power to let me go; but briefly in his darkness and despair he allowed me his world to share. We shared McKuen over cool wine and his words so fluid infused my mind with a hold so smooth, so like a web I recall there was love, but nary dread. An enigma he called me, while it was he who stood before this lass, his mystery he held in his hand, his touch, his embrace and all of it I knew he meant for me. He wooed me knowing I would be alone without him as time went by. We were two lovers for a brief moment and for my memories I cannot cry. His deepness, his darkness, soon they not lifted me up although his soft side was sent with flowers in a cup for tea, as I know it was meant to be for he knew with my lips I would sup. He was that way, knowing, kind and withdrawn until those moments we touched and he filled me with his song ah, the memories over twenty years long. Soon in his desolation he sent me away knowing that I could not stay for his darkness swift came back upon him, and sadly, silently, we lay. Our parting was tenderness incomplete, for who would leave love still sweet and warm, and as if leaving a part of myself. Tonight McKuen comes off the shelf. |

Thank you very much. Sometimes it is not easy speaking aloud one's past, especially when it was so very meaningful, and stuff that dreams are made of. ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
