The Night Unending Unheard, my sighs into the night as memory's touch trails, fingering upon these shoulders, lunar white alone in sorrow's lingering For I have turned away from love denied with heart full flowering with blooms of wistful foxesglove and velvet dewdrops showering I cannot bear what day has borne when once the mist, in scattering reveals my failing, fragile form awakened, torn and tattering I pray the sun will not arise that dark will stay descending Alone but for my memory's cries I plead the night unending Rainydays |

I pray the sun will not arise that dark will stay descending Alone but for my memory's cries I plead the night unending The entire piece is deserving of praise, the concluding stanza reaching deep within the soul. Very much enjoyed! Robert Joseph |

Night sky blanketing my hidden heart Starlit winks offering sheltered view Tears of uneasiness left on stellar chart With Luna's vision reminding me of you Sunny dawn stretching across eastern sky Dancing with tears in waltz of colored glow Hold fast to the dreams in passionate eye As darkness is blessed with midnight's rainbow [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 10-29-2000).] |

Mark, oh my how sweet your poetic response! Midnight's rainbow...what an imaginative man and masterful poet you are! So very nice to find this here ~ thank you! Seymour, thank you kindly, and allow me to express the same sentiment after having read your own verse. Good work, indeed. Rainydays [This message has been edited by Rainydays (edited 10-29-2000).] |

For I have turned away from love denied with heart full flowering with blooms of wistful foxesglove and velvet dewdrops showering i fell the velvety tears...so sad..but beautifully done. Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

Vandana, thank you for your enthusiastic response! I like your little smiling guy. Ron, to be told that one's words can be 'felt'...that brings such satisfaction. Thank you for reading close enough to feel them. Rainydays |

Thank you, Beth! I have so enjoyed my day reading such good poetry here. I was home all day while having some renovation work done (on a fireplace, not on me!) and have been able to come here to Passions several times. What a nice way to spend a homebound day! Take care, and thanks again! Rainydays |
