Clamoring Elation Given over to trail of mask ... wanderings ... showcased within hidden words ... releasing ... as your tears flow ... aimlessly ... lost in nothingness Reaching pinnacles of torment ... adornment ... trophied in ink and glass ... pennings ... engraved on clouds of waste ... expanding ... into the mist of rainbows Dwelling in future histories ... budgeted ... fragments of the heart ... shared ... in oblivion's rehearsal ... cascading ... in the tears of pain's freedom Lyrics of soothing grace ... harmonizing ... bringing symphonies clash ... resounding ... bellows vibrate inwardly ... assuring... peaceful resolution of sleep We smile ... We rejoice ... We return ... to the tides of clamoring elation as I rest my pen evermore Mark Christopher [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 01-09-2001).] |

Interesting, Mark..Haven't quite figured out what it all means yet, but I like it just the same..Shouting of spirits, outcrys of happiness,Guess it could say alot of things, Whatever it is you are saying here, you say it well as you always do...Liked it, I did... ~LL~< !signature--> The way to love anything is to realize it might be lost. author unknown [This message has been edited by Lady Lightning (edited 01-09-2001).] |

Very nice, like the style and how it pulls the reader on. I certainly hope your pen will not rest forevermore, though. |

"Lyrics of soothing grace ... harmonizing ... bringing symphonies clash ... resounding ... bellows vibrate inwardly ... assuring... peaceful resolution of sleep" Mark, Mark, Mark ... absolutely loved this! What a wonderful format and presentation for the beautiful and descriptive sentiments within. Don't you ever put that pen down though, or I'd be beside myself! Well OK ... only as you sleep, but then you pick it right back up again dear poet ... wonderful words from you to start my morning!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Mark my freind, this is utterly wonderful, really beautiful writing as always from you. I do hope you weren't saying that your never going to write again, because you're far too good to let that happen. This really is a wonderful piece. Excellant work it truly is. Take care Mushy  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Nay Sir, do not rest thy pen but dip in ink well again...and again... for amidst the clamoring of the bell imagine for a moment, love's true swell... and thus, to write to capture the night to encase the dreams of sun, and moon beams... write on... |

I really like the cryptic feel of this and the format as well ... We all need to find release and closure ... I like seeing you try new styles poetically as well ... and I always like seeing you write in free verse like I said.. way cool...even groovy me No one ever told me ... I could get lost while standing still ... and sorrow doesnt make a sound ... as it takes away all your will. |

Thank you everyone. This was an experiment in style for me. I appreciate the responses to this piece as I did not know if it would go over well. |

Karilea-Thank you my friend for that encouragement but you know how it feels to try something new and wonder how it will be received. Your words are too kind but they mean alot to me. [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 01-13-2001).] |
