Giving In What once was my desire my deep burn of passion fire rests now in winds of wake ashes of memories all will forsake Tides of purity in moonlit care swept away for all the world to share innocense lost in this lonesome night one more time will not make it right Tempos with angels given to chance looking for that lover's dance that so eluded me in chambered walls lost forever in yesterdays halls One more ride to set me free one last kiss and then let it be upon this midnight's birth to come lifetime's lonliness I now succcumb No passage to paths of gold No more tickets to love to be sold Melting against the heat within Rest now for I am giving in Mark Bohannan |

It's so beautiful, I'm totally speachless... Wonderful work, I enjoyed it a lot. Take Care! "Most girls want a man with the mean green Don't wanna dance if he can't be Everything that I dream up A man that understands real love" |

Mark* The heaviness of this piece is felt deeply...each line added a tear ending with a tidal wave. I'm so sorry to see this kind of pain in your heart...excellent expression from your pen and soul. |

no more talk of giving up ... or giving in all things meant to be ... will allow you to love again somtimes we have to let go to ... to truly hold on sometimes we must walk in the darkness ... before we dance in the dawn as long as I am on this earth ... you'll not be lost in loneliness ... on our friendship you can depend ... always believe in you and this ****** Mark, you need only to see your self thru our eyes... and then simply believe ... fate destiny and the powers that be ...will make all our paths be known in time ... you express your pain with the same eloquence and depth of emotion and beauty that you express your love.. and you touch deep with this one, |

Forsake not thy lonely heart passionate fires shall impart and succumb naught to lonely nights but wry smile under starshine bright and look yet upon ‘morrow’s day ‘twill come to thee, that which may… Ah Mark, I'd rather see you chasing butterflies...'tis heaviness in your heart, indeed, that is seen here... |

I can hear the sadness in this poem. Yes you may feel like you need to "rest now"...but it is only so you can regain your strength to Love again.{{hugs}} |

mark, you use words like a paintbrush. this is wonderful poetry here. i liked these lines: "Tides of purity in moonlit care swept away for all the world to share innocense lost in this lonesome night one more time will not make it right" the whole thing reminded me of a Hootie song... "let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain. let her sing, if it eases all her pain. let her go, let her walk right out on me. and if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be." good stuff here. i'm glad i popped in here. I am reminded of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "I drank what?" |

Tempos with angels given to chance looking for that lover's dance that so eluded me in chambered walls lost forever in yesterdays halls I found this one and have dug it up as it's one treasure of a read I've touched upon... Exquisite! |

I am of the mind that sometimes we have to feel this pain in order to absolutely wallow in the joy when it does come  Nicely done Mark, dusting of shelves in here as I was sort of missing your work. Happy Summer to you. |
