 How you've cast me upon strength For my limbs have failed me Swooning in deepest caverns of love Though our journey has just begun I cannot leave thee from my lips Saving me in my capture, my tomb You are here with me now and I beg To kiss your brow close to temple To feel the rhythm of both heart and mind Please, hearken to my whisper. Hear my Soul beat through breast of silk If thee would only lay down thy armaments Cast your feigned metal barrier aside Let me see the texture of your skin The true power of flesh against flesh I care not for castling and recovery Let us make use of earth's magnitude First, here beneath the olive tree of appetite I surrender to you all that you rescued Everything that made your efforts strong Everything that made you gallant, weak And I will find wisdom in my longing To walk beside your steed, carrying That which is the true seed of valiance [This message has been edited by rwood (edited 08-26-2001).] |

regina This piece of writing reminds me so much of Romeo & Juliet - such a beautiful tale of romance. You capture the essence of romance so very well. I loved this! Take care....Sue Suetang |

Your poetry, your talent has so many facets. You write well in many styles and on many varied subjects. way cool  well done too  jm |

Sue: I believe you are much better than you know, but I'm thrilled at your kind words. Catalinamoon: Thank you so much. Wow! You encourage me so. Janet: Thank you for tolerating my reach. As I am constantly trying to find that word, that style, that makes me, me. I am so grateful to have this forum to try my pen. Marge: Much appreciation. You encourage the best in anyone. Sincerely, Regina |
