Gallery Reading Room This piece is dedicated to all the Women of Passions she wonders if she will ever shine again the clouds have been here for a long time now blocking her way making her light seem dim and her heart seems to die she has shone all of her life from the beginning, she gave her light to all but there was one that deemed that he alone would be the keeper of that light and so, he tried to hide it from the world that he might light his own dark life but the power of her light was too much for him to contain, and she again reached out to a world that needed to see her reached out with her hands reached out with her heart reached out with her soul until the clouds came he sent the clouds to hide her for he thought that if he could not have her no one would. . . and he has succeeded . . . almost. . . for there is still that break in the clouds that she will pass through such is her power such is her life such is her light such is her love she can be contained by no one man or beast sorcerer or wizard seer or philosopher she will speak to a darkened world and they will welcome her with open hearts open arms open minds they will sing her praises until the end of this world and to the coming of the next for that is her power that is her life that is her heart that is her soul we are who she is she is who we are she exists source of power source of life source of light source of love she will shine forever even though her heart wallows in tears and her soul begs for release. . . we will see her she will know us for she is worthy of our love just as we are worthy of her love and she will always be she is life she is light she is power she is love. . . --------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 11-22-2000).] |

Sven, I clicked that enter button on my keyboard anticipating one of your elegant poems to read to get my mind off many a things... And what does this innocent reader behold in front of her eyes but sheer eloquence in writing that leaves me with sighs... Thank you for sharing the beauty of your heart from which your pen scribes the poetic words of rhyme...  Coco |

Sven, such a wonder of words that all of Passions women may enjoy...for they are the center of any man's universe, a light unto themselves, a joy and mystery to behold... you, Sir, have done well by them... and the romance has returned... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Sven, your words have the power of making one feel as though they have somehow managed to find someone who can see past the outer layers into the very soul of women...women who can be proud to call this gentle romantic poet....friend. Thank you for looking inside...... On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. ~me~ |

Sven, What a wonderful idea to dedicate one to all the women of Passions. Beautiful write my friend. She is a mystery indeed. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

I think this needs a nudge for the members who have not yet seen it... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Sven, I don't know you, but have read and enjoyed some of your work. I'm sitting here trying to think of a superlative for this one that isn't trite and overdone. How about supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Thank you for this wonderful tribute to all of the women of Passions. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Sven, this is my first visit in too long. And what do I read first? Tough choice. I did a search for new Passions Gallery poems and find this beautiful piece. Thank you, it is wonderful to see put into such eloquent words what so often I have thought. A beautiful read. Dee I wish you every happiness and pray you'll always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

Sven, This is an elegantly dressed, lovely piece of writing...and it is so kind of you (and smart) to address it to the women of Passions. Thoroughly enjoyed this dedication.Kris All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings...~William Wordsworth |

Sven, This is a wonderful tribute to the women of Passions and it makes me feel proud to be one of them! How can a man know what a woman feels? Somehow you can, and you express it in a very lovely way. Thank-you. |
