With Love Within the rumpled crinkled wings of time soft and tender fleeting life stretches and floats and finds in tear a looking glass to see the flash of green and blue that you have folded like fresh cotton cloth across my heart with love And displayed so the crease remains for in the drawer I open your name engraved so clear sweet and pungent with aroma of roses and a four leaf clover pressed against the line dried fragile filigree of tender lettering So spread across the lap of time I feel its imprint in my soul that stole this word lit imagery and placed it so upon my day to light the smallest place in me where darkness caught you found and thought to fill with the light of you |

You've got to watch these tear-jerkers Martie, or at least, dear, post a warning label... |

Martie~ I love it when you plunder through the nostalgia. You pick me up and set me down in wonderous recall. You also just sent me to the chiffonier to lovingly finger my great grandmother's diary, where she caligraphied her memories for me to treasure. You deserve a hug - *HUG*. Love you, sweet friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Evening Martie, The more of your work that I read, the more I like. You have a style that grows on one. And you also write very well. BC |
