Eyes of Orion Sometimes it seems that missing is all I can ever do my ears are always listening to each breeze with scent of you wishing that it might carry soft and sweetly flavored sound of words so light and airy my bonded heart is unbound each night I have to kiss you while looking up at Orion can it be the stars are blue could they have you on their mind do you think they remember when they watched as we both cried tears that fueled loves hot embers bringing flame to groom and bride unashamed of my weeping it was all that had remained an end to ceaseless seeking a love bound and unrestrained different tears they now see flow and of these I am ashamed to these watchful eyes they show to the rusting past I’m chained Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil.

Such gorgeous words with poignant sorrow woven within. Exellent work, I enjoyed this greatly.  *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis |

Jamie, there is a deep sadness and a glimmer of hope in this poem. It makes one want to weep in sorrow and then smile at the peace you portrayed. This is one of your best. Beautifully done!  |

Excellent work! The stars, they see much. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

(i see you've been to Haiku rehab)  adding this jewel to my files take care jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Jamie.... If anyone deserves a heart free of rusted chains, it is you. Your thoughts and writings are too grand to come from a heart with chains!! I'm sending a hug!!!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

I enjoyed this piece for its well~articulated emotion. The nearly archaic feel to your phrasings added to the theme of shameful sorrow. Lovely writing. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Thanks so much! The hugs are warmly accepted and returned in kind. As long as a semblance of hope remains within us, so then does the prospect of happiness. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |
