Hungry, empty, soul eaten In swells of starless shadow Your wounded spirit drifts... I see myself In the apparitions of your eyes We have both bled ...and fallen... Suffering alone in the starkness Of the hollowed skies. Vulcan's wrath has tortured Leaving scars within His flame has now iced And only withered dreams are seen Within the windswept ashes. Fleeting breaths of light Slowly dwindle away From the phantom once known as you. Let me hold you now... Feel the space between us blur And mingle with lucid morning Allow the midnight shackled to your limbs To gently fade away... And know now That the only way through Is simply to love Like never before. *Krista Knutson* "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." Helen Keller |

"Allow the midnight shackled to your limbs To gently fade away..." I loved that line....I loved the whole poem actually. Very well expressed. The emotion was overwhelming. Great piece of writing. ~Kris~ ~*Things you see the way you see them will never be seen again*~ ~Won't you come and hold my hand? This world has taken me as far as it can... wit |

"And know now That the only way through Is simply to love Like never before" Another gem from you, Krista. I love how this one flows, and I love your beautiful imagery. Love is often the only way through, isn't it? Thanks for sharing! "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |

A great poem! I think the others got it covered on the stuff i would have said!!!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

And know now That the only way through Is simply to love Like never before. Amazing choice of words!!! And an amazing poem. Take a bow!!! People leave our lives as quickly as they come, but the ones that mean something leave footprints in our hearts. |
