May I slip in? just to read? may I sigh quietly at this compassion you call poetry? may I slip in? just to feel? hear the heartstring song so real… may I slip out? so silently and take my tears away you see for you have touched the heart of me when I silently slipped in to read you. a day can come so quietly a dream and your words may come so serene bringing music to wind my soul was that your goal? you did it, just so. may I slip back in into your embrace? and softly now and with grace may I lay finger to your face to trace a lip, a brow for you have touched me vast somehow and then I shall slip away and take with me all you say and keep it here… privately… just your words embracing me. and when next I slip in to read know please sir that I am smiling most pleasantly when I rest my eyes on you. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Good morning Sunshine! The flow of this is outstanding.....a gentle swirling and dancing of quiet thoughts flying free. I salute you with my coffee cup! To capture and live a moment is truly living |

Karilea- I 'felt' this - as truly as if you really had slipped in and touched my cheek - may I say it touched me deeply - and I pray you do it - again and again |

Sunshine, I'm sure if I look up "class" in the dictionary your picture will be there. What style you put into this piece! You create very pleasant smiles yourself... May you slip in....? Oh, yes, please...any time. Poems love the touch of your eyes.... |

Ethome, how special your words are...I think you caught the moment, thank you... Alan, I do like to provoke...good naturedly...thank you... Bonnie, glad to know we were sharing a cuppa.... JM, you sweet thing...thank you... Tier...thank you... Mr. Yeats, that indeed was the underlying intention of the piece, so I am glad you were able to read into it and enjoy it...thank you... 'Deer...oh my...thank you...but if you had a picture of me, you would likely slip into a dictionary under the word "wierd..." LOL...seriously, thank you... thank you Sven... thank you denise... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I think the question would be one of a mute point. You have penned perfection in this one my friend and the whole tone takes my mind a wandering to beauty and love that one can only dream of.....but dreams can become real with enough heart poured into it. Going in my library for sure. |

I think this says what I was trying to tell you earlier...your words weave it much better than I ever could...there are just not enough thank-you's to tell you what it means~ You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~ |

Kari, this is still one of my favourites of yours, okay it's true that all yours are my favourites, but this really is utterly divine. I think it's because I have this vision of you sitting with me in the gazebo, drinking tea and watching the sunset over the orchards. (Admittedly there are only three rose bushes left in the garden, the other nine having given up the ghost and pegged out. I think I over prunned them or something) But the view out there is nice anyway. I really love this one Take care kid Majestic Marsha (The rose bush killer ) Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
