Words flow freely from silver tongue True heart drawn in, nowhere to run Seeking beauty, and to know your love That dark angel, not from above Eloquent words, subtle messages To your heart, seeking passages Unseen by others but clear to me I pray that soon enough you will see Hovers there, as a moth to flame But what right have I to complain I tried too to catch your love Not meant to be as you soar above Once loving heart now tainted green Best hidden away, lest you hear it scream My destiny now a gracefully retreat This much I know, my defeat 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 |

Eagle One, There are a lot of emotions behind these words I think. The title is perfect my friend. Very nice writing here. One of your dark pieces . . . I like it though.  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

EagleOne~ Really enjoyed the subtle way you wove the idea of the change of the colors of the Chameleon into this piece. Sad perhaps, but so well done. A pleasure to read your work. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Eagle.. this is excellent...well written my friend, well expressed emotions... with some very cool word choices and imagery and the title is perfect... we all have these dark emotions at times... you have captured them well a strong piece of work here. "Words flow freely from silver tongue True heart drawn in, nowhere to run Seeking beauty, and to know your love That dark angel, not from above Eloquent words, subtle messages To your heart, seeking passages Unseen by others but clear to me I pray that soon enough you will see Hovers there, as a moth to flame But what right have I to complain ===================== and hey..ya get extra points from me for the "moth to a flame line"...  YOU KNOW... I KNOW... later-cool-poet-gator 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~ |

This shows your pure heart for taking people as they come..."trust but trust with caution"...but always believe the best Those that love with everything often hurt with everything as well. This aches...I just want to take it away...Beautiful writing my friend...from your soul~ |
