Talk me into the Night I balk at the shadows closing in the memories don't walk when they come rushing in the hurting is chalked up to experience once again and I know to caulk the windows of my soul from the wind ~ * ~ * ~ so talk me into the night, my friend walk with me in soft light, no end of talk throughout the night to lend a shoulder on which I might cry hold me and hug me tonight and then talk a little more my friend then whisper that there shall be an end Willow won't break, she'll continue to bend sing to me a silent song all night and caress away all of the fright then never again let loose of tight just talk me into the night just talk to me, my friend Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

to caulk the windows of my soul from the wind ============== Willow won't break, she'll continue to bend ============== just talk to me, my friend ============== we can always talk but your soul you cannot caulk I will be your friend ~*~ you have strength, you know, willow bends but does not break I talk to my friend ~*~ you shall never balk as hand in hand we shall walk while we talk, my friend ~*~ Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

Kari, this is another of your very best, it is an amazing poem full of you in every way. It has your signature clearly all the way through, like a stick of rock. Are you okay love,? This is a brilliant poem but it worries me a little, remember where I am if you should need that shoulder love. I can't do much except offer love, tea and sympathy, but you know that. Take care kid Majestic Marsha (Here in my dungeon cell, okay it's upstairs, so that makes it an attic ) Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Kari, don't they have sticks of rock in Kansas love? Well if you really want to know, it's usually peppermint flavour, but you can get it in other flavours. It's round and about a foot long, 12 inches, and it has a name all the way through it. It's normally sold at the seaside, along with kiss me quick hats and candy floss. I'd send you some but it would be vile by the time it got to you. (Actually you'd probably be able to eat it, because when it's fresh it is as hard as rock.) Take care Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Karilea, when you write like this, I can feel the gentle soft tone of your voice whispering the words. You make them so real.... |
