We are a sonnet of duet sweet song You and I could never part for too long The rhythm of our art Is the beating of our heart Our poetry never dies I can see it in your eyes The flames burning incense cut through the fog Stokes the passion of wordsong with another log We parted now My heart broke The rhythm died I lay choked For you are the air that I breathe when I first awake Each word that I utter is a chance that I take For I cannot breathe you in And expel you out Words of beauty Describe you well But when I breathe I cannot tell I cannot tell you of your repose Lost in perfume of the rose Still you smell so divinely sweet And in a sense we are complete We parted Yet our finger tips Reach out Feel me Touch me Kiss my lips And quell Your doubt Every kind of rhyme and every kind of reason Every inch of time befalls a change of season Poetry never dies It never dies Never I wrote You a song When hills Were born And it will Live forever. I found you weeping on a page A verse I wrote in love for you It was some time ago I’ll say You ask me if it still is true Poetry never dies It only gets replaced I pray all the words that you have saved Our love is not erased Read this And maybe Memorize it Know that I love you And forever will I didn’t mean to Disguise it Poetry is on the page It pours from our heart If we don’t beat in unison I’ve no use for this art. You know the "Never Ending Story"? They're still telling it! [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 02-07-2001).] |

Glad to see you found your "rose" instead of what was opposed. (o: This turned out nicely, Walt. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Walt~ Just the most beautiful thoughts ! 'I wrote You a song When hills Were born And it will Live forever.' I like this so much. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Poetry is on the page It pours from our heart If we don’t beat in unison I’ve no use for this art. the whole poem is incredible, but the ending, even more so...how i wish i had a heart that beat in unison with mine...great write walt.....really great  |

I agree, everything goes better in unison, but poetry stands pretty good all on it's own at times me thinks. Good write, Walt. Michael |

Wow... I dont think Ive read anything as sincere as that. The whole form grabbed my attention and the words...held me tight. Nice job! Jeremy Life is fading me away, far away, but I’m sketching myself back, line by line, mark by mark. |
