Like a devoted lover clings to time, with love as precious as bold trades of youth, my love, made sure by questions divine, deals with the mercy from the warmth of you. For if I'm heedless, loved, or stained, or clean, Or searching for my faults, or none, or more, Regardless of the flight of past scenes I give my heart invested in your worth. So since I am not dead, sick, nor denied Such is this virtue where my substance is, Might I then cry indebted while alive to be a part of your uncommon gift. So what is left, is left for you to see This love I live, much more for you than me. The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to re-language historie [This message has been edited by ethome (edited 08-11-2001).] |

Keep touching the warm, if not for you, than for the rest of us, and get back here more often.... |

ethome--I've missed you! "For whether careless, loved, or stained, or clean, Or searching for my faults, or none, or more, Regardless of the flight of past scenes I give my heart invested in your worth" Exquisite poetry! |

SO nice it is to find one of the masters of poetic verse leaving one for these eyes. Eric, this is as superb as I would expect coming from your pen and as always you touch upon that realm of emotion that so many strive for but never find and you make it looks so easy. Excellent writing indeed. |
