In Nine, will Love come? In nines, they say, they the crones of girlish yesterday say that I, me, this winsome lass shall know nine decades come to pass now, what shall I then do with nine? most cumbersome be, then most probably shall presumably lose my mind! all I shall ask, nay, all that I ask is to see love but once, nay not twice, nor thrice, but once, blessed he be then with sight of me ...womanly... old crones say nine, nine lives doth a woman have infant, babe, girl, youth, lass, female, woman, matron, sage…all enclosing one great age and love might come to one, or all, …or none but one love, Lord, one love to transcend the night into day's light of delicate delight is all I request of thee… of nine lives that I might have send just one, one true lad one love, one kiss then Lord, see! this essential bliss and conclude in his giving the eternal mystery to live, to love, this love to live if I had but one then the nine might flee away for he shall stay he, this One he shall see me in copper light in moon of night in his soul and not feel the toll of life nor strife but relief for right in his path shall I stand take his hand at God's command he will know 'tis to be so and when he shall come to me this love I have to give to him lonesome whim it is not, my body swells in unrelenting force no remorse for being born a woman not even if I see him in nine. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 12-21-2000).] |

Original, well presented and well read. One love is all we can ever really ask for, if there are more then it really couldn't be true love. The joining of two souls is forever. If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. John |

This is no seven (7), it is a ten (10). (Bo Derek eat your heart out.) Forgive me if I steal some thoughts from it for a future effort |

*bowing* Gracious lady, ageless and timeless May I present to thee my words of praise? Sitting there wrapped in such fineness I would wish thee happiness all thy days For thou hast but to ask one time And thy wish shall indeed come true And it will nay be in nine Indeed, now will it come to you For thou art the Sun warm and bright The force that makes our lives whole And in thee and thy bright light Does indeed shine forever, thy soul. . . Karilea, this is absolutey wonderful. . . superb, outstanding, amazing. . . have I run out of words yet??. . . and I must echo Jan and serenity when I say that your writing has indeed become even more wonderful to read. . . whoever your muse is. . . keep them!!! ----------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

sunshine...your wisdom shines brightly here. Yes, one - the right one - would make all the difference. You would think that, in nine decades, one would be simple to find.. funny how difficult that can be. This poem is beautifully done... |

This is such a beautiful piece. I love the style you used in this one. We all want to find that special someone, don't we? Maybe we should form a support group or something! "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |
