Love's Distorted Ember Distorted ember glowing in a fog of uncertainty Climbing the heavens behind a drape of anxiety Wisps of laced vanity offering a modest shield Enticing the eyes of tomorrow into love's guild Innocent growth bows to seduction of experience Romancing despair born of unbridled resistance Comfort in quiet faith loosens a solemn embrace Entwining our hearts eternally upon Luna's face Horizon of faded glory illuminated in assurance Aurora's dispense fear in breaths of confidence Freedom soars among the constellations of peace As the dawn of today endorses our eternal lease Blackholes of loneliness no longer sing on earth As we cherish the melody of angels in our birth A path traveled in unison celebrates early morn As robes of love are what we will forever adorn Mark Christopher [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 07-26-2001).] |

Mark--it is so good to see you!!! This poem is pure romance... "Comfort in quiet faith loosens a solemn embrace Entwining our hearts eternally upon Luna's face" The whole poem is exceptional, but this above touched me with its feeling of being more then just passion...which love should be...right? Sigh! Hugs to you Mark...you have been missed!!! |

Innocent growth bows to seduction of experience Romancing despair born of unbridled resistance I'm new to your poetry but I appreciated your words here so much. Nice to meet you. |

You held me right to the end, and romantic yes, but love for sure! Beautifully done. ~ Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance ~ I hope you dance. (Lee Ann Womack) |

"Wisps of laced vanity offering a modest shield Enticing the eyes of tomorrow into love's guild" "A path traveled in unison celebrates early morn As robes of love are what we will forever adorn" Ah Mark ... have I told you how much I've missed you lately? Yes? Well, I hope you don't get tired of hearing it.  What a wonderful treasure to find this morning. Such beautiful rhythm and flow to these romantic sentiments, and exceptional phrasing. So much wonderfully descriptive imagery - "as robes of love are what we will forever adorn" ... simply exceptional wording my friend. Much enjoyed! Best wishes, /Kit |

Climbing the heavens behind a drape of anxiety Wisps of laced vanity offering a modest shield ============================== Innocent growth bows to seduction of experience Romancing despair born of unbridled resistance ========================== Horizon of faded glory illuminated in assurance Aurora's dispense fear in breaths of confidence ================================ A path traveled in unison celebrates early morn As robes of love are what we will forever adorn ============================ MY TURN This is classic MC poetry... and its so good to get to read you again. Very cool imagery and vocabulary here Mark. I love the poetic phrases and celestial, ethereal, essence this has... superb use of images in nature to express the emotions... this is romantic and full of anticipation and of course cadence kissed... was GROOVY to read aloud  a perfect poem to make your anticpated return with... and ya know what the best part is... I DIDNT HAVE TO TYPE THIS!!   No...actually thats not the best part... the best part is seeing this........... Mark Christopher Welcome home cowboy...  me only you could give love that satisfies the soul... see the darkness of my heart and still won't let me go.
