Would that I could but touch that which burns so Thou art resplendent in all thy glory As to cause harm dealt by the cruelest blow Yet I cannot resist to write thy story I would but for just a touch crawl on glass A prayer I would pray nothing shall impede As determined to seek thee to the last For any cost would I pay to fill this need Just one touch, one caress to make things whole Even if just for a moment in time Would be enough to save a damaged soul Enough to quench the fire in this mind Nothing will end the pain of you and me Not until night falls as I lay with thee |

This is incredible, PK. This is totally transcendant verse---very spiritual--and much of our greatest love poetry is actually the expression of the search for God. This falls in that category. I love this one. (and I do have a fondness for sonnet. )[This message has been edited by serenity (edited 04-21-2001).] |

Thou indeed has served Him well who first serves mankind all so take thy spirit, nay, not dwell as thou hast heard thy poet's call. |

Would that I could but touch that which burns so ======================= I would but for just a touch crawl on glass ====================== For any cost would I pay to fill this need Just one touch, one caress to make things whole Even if just for a moment in time Would be enough to save a damaged soul Enough to quench the fire in this mind Nothing will end the pain of you and me Not until night falls as I lay with thee ======================== This is a classic example of your poetry at its best... and the exact reason that we keep coming back to read you time and time again... this style is what drew me to your poetry from the first read, its your pen at its best. this is outstanding... the vocabulary and phrasing is poetic perfection as is the rhyme and cadence but all those technical things pale in the light of the depth of the poetic expression of the emotions. Romantic poetry at its best. This is one of your best J...and you know thats list grows longer everyday.. but when I see a gifted poet.... I gotta worship, its my duty.  *L*very cool write. I love your imperfections ... I love your everything ... |
