"time after time" As daylight fades the sun descends across a blood red sea quenching his fire in the haven of her infinite horizon bold virility blind virginity never touching merely seeming to embrace crimson sanctity proffered ecstasy never consummated through their union of illusion As I stare beyond the dark mirage of this protracted night I know that I am he and you are she forever damned time after time to tempt what cannot be (c) William F.

Your imagery is beautiful, though the message is sad. Sometimes it seems that what is meant to be does not happen. And yet, sun and sea would destroy each other if they ever really touched. (You should not get me thinking too much at this time of night.  ) I did enjoy reading this (several times, in fact).To love another person is to see the face of God. |

This is so lovely and so sad as well. I can relate to these feelings, just when we are so sure that we have found, finally, the one who is our soul-mate, life and reality intervene and it is somehow not to be. A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Thanks so much, dear friends for reading! Joyce, such a beautiful thought, but I am so undeserving of it. Ellie, I know what you mean, the story behind this one would have to be entitled: "Seven years in Tibet"! lol Karilea, thanks for reading, I'm at a loss for words. Tara, What a wonderful compliment, I'm so glad you liked it "The poet is the priest of the invisible." Wallace Stevens [This message has been edited by coyote (edited 03-30-2001).] |

Coyote, if I "read" you correctly, I need to "alter" the Sun a bit, hey? |

Thanks Maree. "Don't worry, be happy." Metaphorically speaking, of course. "The poet is the priest of the invisible." |

"quenching his fire in the haven of her infinite horizon" That sounds so beautiful.. such a magnificent illusion.. a shame.. it IS an illusion, isn't it.. how wonderfully you write it, coyote.. Lynne "He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened." Lao-tsu |

Wow I liked it....it started off fine but as it went along it just got better and better until a final blash of emotion at the end. I really really liked the end. Well done friend!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
