She calmly read in silence, by the light of candle flame Enthralled by words which filled each line till end Entranced by many stories, born of love and also pain The words, which through a lifetime one had penned With caring touch she turned each page of lover and her friend Then saved the words which made her feel that way Sighed a heavyhearted thought, which made one question end The mistress which had plagued her mind, in ink did only lay With questions of a lifetime, the prayers all told to God The doubt, the selfish ways, which came with day The desires of the heart inside, the dreams and hopes of good The tired scrolls, as sleep would come and stay A love affair of self-ness, of words which made the mood The lines which seemed to marry, one to one The thoughts that weighed a ton or more, then those of well reviewed The greyness of a winters day, the basking in the sun She hated this, his pleasure, that the pen could turn him warm That words scrolled onto parchment, set him free But slowly then accepted him for all he had performed And that life for that moment, was the way it was to be |

If you wrote this for me, the applause is deafening...if you wrote it for everyone else, stand back for the throw of the roses... well done Rick! Thank you! |

Rick, I must admit that I first read this because your first name is the same as my husband's.....silly reason...then I had to read it a second time as it was so captivating. Now I am going back for thirds, this is wonderful writing!!! Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
