A faint melody breathes From behind a stormy silhouette, Pushing iridescent light Forward Through the forsaken cloud of grief Clinging inside me. A voice flies with that song, Sweeping through my dreams With tender grace and power, Bringing rose tinted whispers Along with the stunning reality Of a growing love. I see your eyes through the dark, Sparkling, reflecting your soul In soft, quiet splendor... And when you kiss me The moments swirl wildly With my dazed rapture. Every time you touch me I know you believe in me And in us... So when your shadow’s drape In shreds of sorrow Know that I will stand behind you Breathing the lilting melody That you once sang for me. ~*For you Abrahm, for you are all this to me and so much more. Thank you for your love and for being here for me*~ *Krista Knutson* I'm a slow dying flower In a frost-killing hour The sweet turning sour and untouchable... -Natalie Merchant |

You are so incredibly sweet! Great poem, my dear. I love you so very much I'm pulling myself up and then we can sing that faint melody together. Abrahm Simons "It doesn't matter if we turn to dust Turn and turn and turn we must I guess I'll see you dancing in the ruins" - Blue Oyster Cult |

Krista~ You write of devoted love, and of it's saving grace during dark times so beautifully! But, then again, I've come to expect no less from your talented pen. Abrahm will love this! Amazing imagery and sentiment The ending touched me, what a pledge! If only I could find love like this~ Take care, Melissa< !signature--> Hey!!! Abrahm snuck in on me Well, I guess we already know that he loves this The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 01-27-2001).] |

While catching up on some of the back pages, I stumbled across this treasure, and decided that it just had to be brought up to the front again. It is beautiful, and it touched me deeply. best, emma |
