Upon the satin pillow case A rose to greet my morn Placed within a crystal vase Tears from heart are torn The good-bye you gave no voice Treasured time now flown away To leave there was no choice You must be on your way Held within your grace Loved beneath the moon Star dust fingers trace Again... never comes too soon Words whispered on a dream Love shared within the night Lips caressing velveteen Dancing silhouettes of light The need turned to addiction Mere embers to blazing fires Ecstasy without restriction Uncover sweet desires Inhale the rosy scent Soft memories come alive Loving you sweet torment Numbed feelings you revive Still your presence fills me Though your mortal form is gone Sadly...how it must be As darkness succumbs to dawn |

BDC, The butterfly is ablaze with life!!! You go!!! The light will come my friend. Hang in there!! WE will see it together . . . soon. You have a greta talent for wrapping these up very neatly. Perfect. Lone Wolf 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 |

Oh Butterflies! This one brought an ache to my chest. You elicit such emotion in your poetry. I absolutely loved this one. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

"Still your presence fills me Though your mortal form is gone. Sadly...how it must be as darkness succumbs to dawn." Beautiful rich thoughts and desires within your lines of poetry. I often wonder why it has to be this way. So many times love is just one way and our ecstasy turns to sadness...is this due to bad selections on our part or is this the nature of love...James |
