when the monotone is lifted by the rising refrain,
rest that has eluded weary eyes takes its place
in mercy’s lighthouse, home before the raging waters...
twilight’s intensity finds its place within the soul
that has been seeking solace of serenity for so long...

when words finally escape a deadlock’s custody,
reticent verse will reside within the reach
of a frantic poet, home on the pages of white...
daylight’s impatience has learned plenty about the ache
of a night that has been so secluded from the esteem of many...

and even if the ideas cited don’t spell out on logic’s exterior,
the iridescence of morning’s radiant lyric will settle
into a sympathetic sun, prepared to reveal the way...
the intruding dawn will eventually learn the etiquette
of the after hours of warm August nights...

-kh

can I see my world without you in it?
baby, not for a single minute...

once again I say its getting harder and harder to leave off lines and not cut and paste the whole poem.
there are so many cool and cleverly written lines in this..so many unique images and analogies.
and as always your masterful employ of vocabulary.

(which is my way of trying to sound intelligent..to tell you that you use big smartypants words)    
groovy write Kris ...
and way cool pic ... gotta love that webshots  

Feels like Im dancin with truth and wisdom
Precious rhythm you are my guide
These days are sacred, my heart is humble
Oh warrior show me thy light

You know, I can only think of one thing I like better than reading through your eyes and that would be looking into your eyes when we are together and seeing through them.  This is as wonderful a write as is the person who wrote it and NO....it ain't cause I am biased at all.  Well, maybe a bit but not in the poetry critique area.  You get what you deserve and this is truely beautiful sweetheart.  Love ya.

Did I mention that the construction of this piece is superb and the use of metaphors is excellent and of course we all know you shine in the vocabulary always.  Truely splendid writing.



I have found in you ... a reflection of me ...
and a path to the peace I have sought.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

tried to write a letter
to tell you how I feel,
but all I kept on writing
was slipping on the tears from the day...
