He Writes she eavesdropped past his poetry envisioned the man beyond his time perceived his whisperings as he spoke of sounds that tolled his chime of his daydream, she felt him deep he, never knowing of her hold as in her wake, or in her sleep she gently cupped his words of gold oh spells he cast, enchantment spread she heard his mind through his touch of ink to parchment or by pencil lead and drew envisioned dreams and such reading through words of quiet calm she danced alight his sequins of sound for they beheld her required balm and wrapped, enrapt, them all around O mellifluous, then softer still coursed his heartstrung words to her by tick of time he lined her thrill as if he knew, and loved her pure by time’s reality, his candle bright would diminish dim, to dark surrender truth seized close by her finest light of heart’s rote evoked his splendor she eavesdropped past his poetry oh spells he cast, enchantment spread O mellifluous, then softer still, she laid back the coverlets for their bed of his daydream, she felt him deep reading through words of quiet calm and pulls his spirit to her in sleep as his words rest in her palm [This message has been edited by Lady In White (edited 09-05-2001).] |

However subtle or metaphorical our words are, we will in sheer volumne know each other eventually, for true poetry is truth indeed. Well written. [This message has been edited by RSWells (edited 09-05-2001).] |

What a lovely moment of inspire this is... what an impressive level of inspire this is...the rhyme, the vocab & language, the poetic phrasing...and the soulful intend of the emotions............ You have enchantingly encompassed the gifting of poetry...when we are touched, taught, captivated and drawn to another poets words. For it is there in their verses of vision we may see our own reflection, For it is in their heartlight that we grow. This cadence kissed beauty from your pen is a perfect example of what Im fumbling to say here... what I really want to say is... IWISHIHADWROTETHIS~ Once again my lady... Im taking this one for my own...tis a "treasure chest" keeper.... and you KNOW what that means. [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 09-05-2001).] |

This is so so lovely, what joy for one to learn that maybe, just maybe joy might lie in the palm of a reader's hands. Wonderful image. Thanks for posting this one, Lady! It's tender and romantic but wonderfully touching. In fact it is inspiring a poem in my mind. |

wow, this is so wonderful, poetry has such power, and it can be used almost as a 'pickup line' if misused, but most poets I know are true of heart... and I love this because it almost glamorizes the reader as well as the poet.....for both are important for the art to be appreciated |

Well I simply sighed, and smiled being wrapped in these beautiful words. JM said it all and I only wish I could write this way once. I now believe this is the nicest piece of poetry you have done, and into the library it goes with a "thank you"! *~If you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all*~ |

'oh spells he cast, enchantment spread she heard his mind through his touch of ink to parchment or by pencil lead and drew envisioned dreams and such reading through words of quiet calm she danced alight his sequins of sound for they beheld her required balm and wrapped, enrapt, them all around' Everything about this is perfect...the rhyme and flow are flawless, and the images are simply fantastic! To sum it all up...beautiful, beautiful write... sp tried to write a letter |

she eavesdropped past his poetry oh spells he cast, enchantment spread O mellifluous, then softer still, she laid back the coverlets for their bed of his daydream, she felt him deep reading through words of quiet calm and pulls his spirit to her in sleep as his words rest in her palm wow, have you got that right..... excellent peek into my heart for a poet. May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat... |

He watched her read in silence, by the light of candle flame Consumed by words, which filled each line till end Entranced by all the stories, born of love and often pain The poems, which through a lifetime he had penned ------------------- A lovely write dear Lady, I enjoyed your penned masterpiece.

When I penned this, I had no idea it would touch so many poets, You, and You, and You, who have made Passions the home that it is...I had hoped a few would read, but You all have exceeded those expectations... so to all of you, my humble thanks for allowing these words to sink past the recess of your eyes, and on to your hearts. They were more than comments, you know...they were the glorious, silken ties that bind one poet to another.... I will read You...Poet... LiW |

Lady - This was very well written - I especially like the way reading it made me slow down to the rhythm of the poem, rather than allowing me to make the poem conform to my pace. I wonder if the other poets got that sense of flow out of it too? As for the sentiments - well, what could I possibly add that could improve upon the words you've already read? Simply lovely. |
