Is it morning, evening, noon or middle of the night All I see are your eyes all I can feel is that caress I've no sense of time My motor responses autonomic filled with the wonder of you You're my godhead, masthead so filling my heart All doubt erased from this bed of dreams They plunge off drowned in the sea No sparkle of stars exceeds your smile of love What constellation have we sailed to Did I ever believe the time between play before and glow to follow were the why when this timeless time now seems so rich That now fragile passion becomes the bridge to these richer times How was I blessed to so discover the richness of you in these, most intimate of times So I'll kiss you again if I'm not to know when take you in my arms hold you safe from alarms as your caress boldens we bridge the next foray to the closeness we've reached loving's rich and been breached Peace we've found with each other trials all disappear there will be no fears until time reappears Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

beautifully written, especially loved the verse You're my godhead, masthead so filling my heart All doubt erased from this bed of dreams They plunge off drowned in the sea There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong inside Your velvet heaven" Depeche mode |

What causes one to open Yeats... so that a day might be complete... what causes one to read and then send thanks by Godspeed... what causes one to think, and ponder what causes one to read Yeats, I wonder? [I know...{~,^}] |

Bill--I love the title...the whole poem is drenched in emotive thought...just lovely! Especially liked: Did I ever believe the time between play before and glow to follow were the why when this timeless time now seems so rich |

Martie- Leave it to you to focus on the verse I hoped readers would recognize as most significant to me - Thank you, I treasure your support GreenEyes- years ago - you were one of my first readers - I'm truly glad you still are - I'm getting better I think - and I hope you too are well |
