Reunion A crimson evening's garden walk, When sudden interruption From low beneath the shadow's stroke Appeared without production. Who walks there? Show yourself at once! I urgently sensed dark danger. As fully a figure approached the path, A silent, mysterial stranger. But drawing nigh with gentle step And slow in his approaching, This intruder spoke my name aloud His intent, 'twas not encroaching. Is it so? Can it be you, dear person, Or apparition now before me? His mindful, urging, searching eyes Convinced, indeed, implored me. No, I've not fled this graceful Earth But am here, bewitching maiden, To convince you of my heart's true worth, For your precious trust, 'tis laden. Oh pulse of Prophet! Oh Seer's sight! Mere moonglow shall but cower! Your loveliness haunts the darkest night! Your essence shames the flower! His words so wrought with passion's voice, His hands with appetition, Upon bare shoulders, awakened moist My lips in recognition. I feared we surely would be heard Through our trembling, tangled tones. "My dear one, I have searched the night..." His whispers meeting my moans. My darling, Dawn's Companion, please Forgive me, my desires. Your eyes have beckoned, your body and soul, Love, your fragrance feeds my fires. My need to hold your warming, Welcoming form unto my chest Has driven my ambition, Sweetness, And upward forced my fervent quest. Come let me share sweet bliss with you My gracious garden Glory, But only grant my lips' release to Bestow you with this story. The tale of how these lovely lanterns ~ Your eyes ~ kept me on guard. And have brought me finally home, dear one, Forever your servant, and ever, your bard.  Claire |

The first time I read, I thought the poem was wonderful. Haven't changed that opinion, I do like the font change... |

Mike...thanks for the approving nod. RufffRyder...and thank you, for your sweet response. It's good to know this brought a smile to you. Martie...thank you, Martie, for letting me know you liked it.

As I never seen love before wrapped in poetry Here it's done with such excellency Awe and sigh are inked forever on the screen There is just love and nothing in between Such lovely and enchanting piece L. and S.P. ((((you)))) < !signature--> The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. [This message has been edited by HelmutB (edited 02-29-2000).] |

Claire~ I find everything you write breathtaking. This one calls for oxygen ! So inspired are your works. A delicacy of phrase. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Oh my what grace I found in this..... Loved this line.. "Your loveliness haunts the darkest night! Your essence shames the flower!" Lovely to the last line There are two kinds of pedestrians...the quick and the dead. Drive it like you stole it. |

In a word, Claire, I would have to say: "suberb" --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

A rose to you dear Claire we send your thoughts are so contageous Their very essence takes our hands and walks us through your pages Every time you send a thought we've not been disappointed Your pen sends birds and butterflies and keeps us captivated Rex}<{{{{o> I'm not ugly!
