how close was i to heaven... how right it felt to touch the sky. i almost held a star in my hand-- but i blinked and the star fell away. my heart turned blue... my soul fell empty. i must close my eyes to heaven, recoil into the palm of my hand, where only i will hold me-- and only i will know the season of my soul... --dgvarner "A Poet's life is on written page; a scenario to take the stage--watch..." dgvarner |

A beautiful tale of the one that got away. I hope the next one won't. Kevin "Anything is possible with patience, time is the tool use it to reach your goals." |

recoil into the palm of my hand, where only i will hold me-- and only i will know the season of my soul... I really love the last line, wonderful poem ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "We Irish are too poetical to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures" Oscar Wilde ----- |

how close was i to heaven... how right it felt to touch the sky. --------- dg, you write my heart tonight in this gem. I love the gentle, longing in this poem. it has a fragile sweetness about it perfect expression of your emotions take care, keep reaching for the stars... sometimes we get lucky and one falls in our direction jm It's amazing How you make your face just like a wall How you take your heart and turn it off How I turn my head and you lose it all ... And it's unnerving (How one move just puts me by myself) There you go just trusting someone else (Now I know I put us both through hell) ... I'm not sayin That there was nothing wrong (I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me) And I'm not sayin (We ever had the right to hold on) (I just didn't wanna let you get away from me) ~MB20~ She says baby, It's 3AM ... I must be lonely, When she says baby, Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes, Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it. ~MB20~ |

Oh yes! If only it always felt so right to both parties at once, and always stayed that way forever. It isn't easy catching stars. We just have to keep reaching, and maybe we'll stretch enough to make it next time. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
