The Pillow of YouSilence clings fast to the hours of the night cloaked full in burgundy's droplets, sweet, of a wine tasted once too often but still before daybreak I'll drink my fill complete. Tumbling words, spice~bound, into my lap read fragrant soundings through til dawn. I've heard many dreams speak, but if you please, ease the pillow of you, my weary head upon.  Claire |

simply pure perfection... when your pen puts down emotions seen thru your heart's eyes...perfection is the gift. jm Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules Do you care what is thought by others about you If this day is all that is promised to you Do you live for the present, the future the past... tracy chapman |

I don't know if I can adequately explain this, but I find myself unable to select a favorite line or phrase because this exquisite work is an entirety unto itself. |

Soft and beautiful words, Meadowmuse. In a word, exquisite. *Krista Knutson* ~*Only when trudging through the soul's darkest midnight can one truly appreciate the glory of the sunrise*~ |

A heart embraced in soft warm, Is likely to give in return, To those who give of this billow warmth, There's nothing to describe it's feeling or perfection. (Your poem described so well how I believe many wish they could feel. Marvelous) |
