 As the satin veil of darkness falls Within feathery folds your memory calls It begs me follow close and cling to it My soul is but a candle waiting to be lit Defenseless against the power you hold Even after the embers of touch are cold The magic of ebony sky begin to mesmerize Your image emerges amidst diamond skies Here in the sanctuary the night sky built The darkness releases any traces of guilt I’m free to hold you close but out of sight Under the guarded blanket of the night Allowing my heart to open for you To sample the nectar of love so true As the morning comes I curse the rise Your image escapes my tranquil skies Good bye sweet love until the moon rise I release your memory into diamond skies [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (edited 06-02-2000).] |

BDC-- wow!!! breathtaking. this is definitely my favorite piece written by you. this was absolutely beautiful!! Janet isn't the only one envious...so am I. You wrote your heart in this one big time girl. Lovely, simply lovely! Amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again.

ButterfliesDC~ There is magic in the glint of the night sky lit with the glow of diamond dust from your pen. I enjoyed the thoughts. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I think JM has said it best, this just simply exquisite!..amazing!....I think this is the best work I have seen from you and some of the best work I have EVER seen. Exquisite, beautifull, awesome, magical, they are all words that do this work justice. My words cannot properly describe how this has moved me, thankyou for sharing . 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 think I know the type of sky you are talking about, they are mix of light blue, a pale brilliant white and some grey, they appear to have a dreamy quality. I love those type of skies. As the satin veil of darkness falls Within feathery folds your memory calls It begs me follow close and cling to it My soul is but a candle waiting to be lit Defenseless against the power you hold Even after the embers of touch are cold The magic of ebony sky begin to mesmerize Your image emerges amidst diamond skies a magical and beautiful poem. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures.
