Stay with me
As darkness falls
…night closes in
the dawn comes too quickly
you must go
this I know
but stay…
Tingling skin
…a desire to begin
A memory 'ere you go
comes the dawn
you are gone
but for this time
pretend you are mine
  and stay.

Kethry....this is a song....

Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound.

Kethry, Kari's right this is a song, and it's beautiful. I love this it's so soft and flowing. Such a great feel to this one Kethry, one of your best I'm definitely saving this one.
Take care

Kethry* This is an amazing weave..the
emotion you penned into this hits the reader
in the heart and draws them close to the
flame of your pleading...excellent writing~

Sandra, thank you. It's always a pleasure reading what you write both in your poetry and in your encouragement. It just flows.

Wayoutwalt, thank you for putting those particular words in my head. Now I'm going to have to write something else to get them out.

Highlander, thanks for the comment about tuneful, although if you heard me sing you wouldn't say that. I sing like a troll.  

Butterflies, as always thanks.

Coco, thanks for the poem I enjoyed it so mush.

Roniece, I'll take any smiles and hugs I can get. Thank you for giving me one.

Pepper, your encouragement is all I need. Thank you

Be well
Kethry

Kethry, I wish I had written this! But then, I wouldn't have said it so well.  Wonderful piece here...are you sure you didn't read my mind?
