Deny me all dreaming, Deny me your love. Wreak upon My broken mind, Your empty-thought words Of promises then All shattered- Into now. You charge through my heart With thoughtless acts Of caring- Only unto you. You, A lady in love... With the very concept of. ‘Tis only now I know- When I come home To nothing-walls, Barren of all warmth... Save those from fleeting memories of that time then, When I was alive- ‘Tis only now I know, That truth indeed, spins more tragic tales, Than those woven, In threads of fiction. "...rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars." -Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass [This message has been edited by Christopher (edited 04-19-2000).] |

There's nothing worse than "nothing-walls" And nothing greater than truth And no one writes a better verse This poet in his youth I can but well imagine when His mind is aged like wine Then mellowed walls and barren halls More wisdom they will chime Liz |

Great poem, Christopher!! I too am "in my youth" so I can understand about the walls too. Thanks for sharing this with us! Love and hugs, Lizzie  PS Is the photo really of you? "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Chris, This poem is excellent, you are very talented in your writing. I am gonna make a guess here on your age seeing your intellect and clues you have given, my mind tells me to say 28, but it also says 25...LOL I can never make a decision...Argh!!!! |

Chris Jealousy is not my game But every time I see your name I open up the thread to view Perfection in it's finest hue Your face looks to be seventeen Your poems, from one of eighty-three But jealousy is not my game And I will love you all the same Jealous of a talented youth? Ha! Ha! Ha! (I'm green with envy - That's the truth) Liz |
