Old tired eyes, caught out and clearly blinded, Misguided and dumbfounded by loves light. Which burns you to your very core, reminded Perhaps of another lover in the night Lost well before this new found dream was met, Who now stands almost welded to your arms. Perhaps to smother all their past regret, Or warm within their new found lovers charms. Beauty beheld as beauty should be held In blind eyes with fresh faith more blinding still. All rhyme and reason with good senses shelved The moment clasped by each with weakened will. Yet momentary lapses all soon fade Decisions cast found lacking by clear mind. Casting doubts upon each sworn promise made Proves lovers leaps should not be taken blind. [This message has been edited by writer51 (edited 08-29-99).] |

So true-no leap should be taken blind, and most especially a lovers' leap. Thank you for sharing this with us, writer51! ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." |

Words to remember ... at least till you are in your lover's arms and your mind goes blank ... Good job, I like it very muchly.  ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |

*sigh* Echoes of my own dreams here... HUGS ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

They say that love is blind, yet you should look before you leap, I was trying to understand how to do the latter while under the influence of the former. Thank you RainbowGirl and Nochtdraco for your comments. |

Welcome to the forum! I've leapt several times - all of them blindly. That's why I stay away from that particular edge - even when there's an enticing 'someone' on the other side.  |

Writer51- I guess we've all been there. I don't quite know if it is possible to do the latter while under the influence of the former. I've never experienced it! Maybe I'm just a weakling too! Very good! |

Your words linger with me still I know I must halt my leap shall I forever remain alone holding no one as I sleep. |

Dsnyder As I said to someone recently, the leap is the easy part it’s surviving the thud when you come back down to earth that’s the killer. Poet deVine If I could hug you now I would. Hang on………………………HUG |
