caught ‘tween ocean’s crossing and places of remember childhood returned and love wept lo, walls of desire laughed in tears reminiscing o’er times when we were one time’s ago when we were adventurers explorers of ourselves our fate our destiny but e’en now -all we gained- -all we had- is found in nought save the rotted nettles ‘twixt weed grown dreams and poplar’s fallen o’er. |

I love it Christopher!! Exquisite ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

This is lovely...both the words and the layout "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." -Charles Brugnot |

Christopher- So aesthetically pleasing to the eye ... and to the tongue ... a taste of honey. Beautiful ... just beautiful ! ~Marge~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

This paints a breathtaking picture in my mind....some of the words you used are divine...I like the imagery in how you wrapped it all up at the end....mysteriously so. Indeed, you should write more! Laugh my friend, laugh.....(cheezy grin atcha)  ** I'm reaching for the brightest star I've ever seen - knock my ladder out from under me, and you'll wish you hadn't !! -pFF ** Here's to 2000! |

Now Chris, however did I miss this one??? Maybe cause you're not POSTING enough??? We miss you around here!! Your poetry now makes me wonder is this personal or imaginary...probably a bit of both from you! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

A captivating study in contradictions, my friend -- quite appropros in consideration of the source. This liked me much, but I've yet to have a (serious) complaint about your work, especially your freeverse ... --Me You cannot choose the way of your death, but the path you choose will determine its own end. |
