Without Words The morning comes Like so many before And I am empty Of its pleasures If my strength could, Just push it back Push the brilliant curtain, Into the dark Into the dreaming Into my heart The day is so eternal Congregations of the silent Voices without words Voices without touch Voices of the souls Trapped in shells Of crowded loneliness Just a breath away From the bliss The bliss of laughter The bliss of meaning Just a breath away from each other In the night lives The memories of All their faces The soft kisses The whispered meanings Spoken without worry Spoken in the kisses Spoken without words The love of before now Of other moments Of other times Of other ME's I gather up the night For its pleasure For its need, Cause it still speaks Without words To a lonely heart.

If my strength could, Just push it back Push the brilliant curtain, Into the dark Into the dreaming Into my heart ======================================= hi love ..thoughtful is this one..i think we all wish we could muster the strength at times to keep a hold on the night dreams..those moments that "could be"..if only we didnt have to face the awakeness..if only we could push time back into that moment when we were just a breath away from what we really want to touch.. interesting mood change for you hugs, g "...if i ran away, |

Sudhir, thank you for that wow.. dg, cat got you tongue. Marina, busy?.. I work for the Government. Thanks. SEA, thank you sweety... where may you be tucking it. dg, yes those damn wishes.... maybe I should click my heels together three times. Sometimes you just got to get into the mood to write about it. serenity, thank you so much. You can beam at me anytime.... Just to say thanks to Micheal G for his poem "Once" which I read today and got me into a semi introspective mood mode so I could write this. You poem was great for the inspiration. Parker |

Park, Even the dark side of your work hums with romance. This is a beautiful poem. One tiny nit: "Of other ME's" should not have an apostrophe. I really love this one, you should submit it for formal publication. Cor |

Corinne, sweet poet.... the spell check came up with that... I never argue with a machine. I'm just a romantic fanatic... what would life be without a little romance laced in everywhere..dark without light summer without winter shoes without shoe laces spam without ..... er yuck! Ireland without Red Hair... Thank you for the encouragement. Submit it where? Parker [This message has been edited by Parker (edited 05-10-2001).] |

Push the brilliant curtain, Into the dark Into the dreaming Into my heart The day is so eternal Congregations of the silent Voices without words Voices without touch Voices of the souls Trapped in shells Of crowded loneliness Just a breath away ====================== The memories of All their faces The soft kisses The whispered meanings Spoken without worry Spoken in the kisses Spoken without words The love of before now Of other moments Of other times Of other ME's I gather up the night For its pleasure For its need, Cause it still speaks Without words To a lonely heart. ===================== P-man this is a bittersweet, melancholy, complative piece.... I like the introspective depth of it... your format and presentation added to its emotes intensity... very well written with imagery and poetic phrases balancing out the emotions this is another one I could hear you reading... (just cant get that voice outta me head) and ya know what they say about hearing voices *L* very cool write poet of pedestals "Nature's first green is gold, |

Sunshine, thank you dear. Irish Rose, thank you glad you enjoyed. Hey, browneye's don't be admitting to hearing voices you'll end up in the stute with those strange Justin Looney poets. But, if you just need talk about these voices.... come to my couch. Parker |

thanks Susan... I wish my muse would get inspired again. Maybe my creativity is just directed elsewhere, like sailing. One day I will return I hope. |
