 Words in Time in a book, between loosed leaves with fountain penned ink, sat a leaf a bit of paper, from once a sheaf and I saw, in stunned belief amid a pressed lilac bouquet pretty words were wrapped in a spray a soft light scent from long past days seemed to harbor sadness among the gay pretty words caught up in time words that with promise would then bind one heart to one, a promise kept words so sweet, I softly wept ~*~*~*~*~*~ render me unto your heart of sighs tender me but speak me no lies come the vision of night's bequest and know that I do love you best serenade me yet one more time with this your heart that is all mine intrude into my innermost thought with this love that can't be taught tighten your hold, grip for dear reason this love that shall enhance all seasons this love that shall linger at your fingertips this love that remains here on my lips this love that crosses timeless air and stays as your "forever"…there… ~*~*~*~*~*~ and a date thereon inscribed written back in eighteen eighty-five was it a man's hand, or woman's script the paper trembled slightly in my grip but the last lines gave me pause to stare from one to another a display of care this love that crosses timeless air and stays as your "forever"…there… Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Absolutely beautiful! The center portion in italics, is that a quote from another poem? It sounds so familiar. Either that or it's in the style of a former poet. My memory is so terribly bad, I don't recall things from long ago. |

You don't hear much about guys who take their shot and miss... |

Karilea~ I think we've both found great treasures left from the heart of others. This is just lovely. Tenderly touching it is. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Kari love, this is utterly breathtaking, it truly is. Outstanding, excellant, exquisite and beautiful. I love this one, I'm keeping this one and it will never gather dust on any shelf because it will be read and re read until time has run its race. Take care Majestic Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

A quick explanation: this is pure fiction. I imagined how I might write 100 some years ago...and the romantic in me would have tucked some papers in a book, as I enjoy "drying flowers" and we have this lovely lilac bush in the neighbors yard that I pinch from every spring...and what if, I thought, someone years and years away were to find my thoughts lying there...what would they read, what would they see...would it make them feel? Virginia, I guess this then answers your question...the words of course sound "similar" but no, those were not picked up from anywhere by in my own rambling mind...thank you... Thank you 'Deer...I'm keeping it too... Ethan, exactly what I was going for...I do believe in "other planes" and what if I had a "sister" out there, paralleling me through her universe...spooky, yes...so very glad you liked it!... Marge, the treasures I have found are many...but many of them are taking physical form...y'know? [my little spam-ham..] Marsha you little flag-waver you...may you wave on forever! Hugs, you!< !signature--> Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.
