This--- this is my piece of you. I wrap in silk and tie with lace. Protect you, deep, under my quilt, in chest of cedar blessed by grace, as memories stream down my face, amid my posies, pressed. Should I grow old, I hope to wander up these attic stairs to linger-- every fold of satin thought, every crease, a smile to finger... trace of lace, mystery's face, memories now, my posies gold... and in that moment, ever young, once again, your hand, I'll hold. (repost from Open 8, for a most unforgettable friend) |

This is lovely serenity...I adored it then, I treasure it now, even if I am not the intended friend... absolutely exquisite... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Serenity~ Ah ... the makings of a nostalgic trip ~ Cedar chests, lace, silk, satin and memories ~ nothing left out .... My kinda render, gal. Precious memories tucked away to treasure on some plundering day ~ Love this one. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

"This--- this is my piece of you. I wrap in silk and tie with lace. Protect you, deep, under my quilt, in chest of cedar blessed by grace, as memories stream down my face, amid my posies, pressed.

These are some of the most beautiful words, and poetry I've read in a long time. I say that with the utmost sincerity and appreciation for your penning this fine poem and for my reading it tonight. The words touched me so deeply, I cannot tell you. Thank you! "Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell." Joan Crawford |

This one is indeed such a delicate treasure. Excellent work! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Sometimes it's a real blessing when these unforgettable memories fill one's mind. Without them we would have no passionate history and that would be sad....I really enjoyed this one Celeste...write on sweetheart! |
