I write these words of sadness for my love I have lost. I no longer write of gladness, for my feelings are tossed. I sit beneath a shaded bow, my heart crying true pain. I cry tears of salted truth now, I cry more yet again. I kissed your eyes as you lie there peacefully asleep Yearning of the soulful sighs of love’s passions felt deep. The ring that you gave, no longer on my dried hand. I bowed to you as your knave, my soul returns to sand. I fought for love, I gave my all, my heart, soul and mind I removed my glove, I gave to you, my eyes open and blind. I thirst of words I once heard, my ears no longer hear. Now food of black carrion birds, my body lies not near. As I lie still upon this cold hard meadow ground Please kiss me softly, for then love I've now found. |

Magnus, You have such a way with words. With every piece of work I read by you, you blow me away more and more. Dawn |

Dawn, it is comments such as your own that inspire my words. You could have written a book of accolades, and they would not have said more than you have. Thank You. |

Good grief! The *sighs* you have made me utter today are enough to last a lifetime! I must go and rake leaves and get some air. Gee, you're good!  ~hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

*sigh* I can see his ghost bending over his lady while she sleeps and feel a yearning to take her in his arms and wipe away the tears of loss she sheds. His heart yearns to hear again the words of love that come from lips he will never again taste. He whispers his love and holds on to the hope that she knows though his flesh may die, his love for her never will. *sigh* How absolutely breathtaking is this masterpiece of a poem. The vision it gave me leaves me in awe. Thank you. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Ok Karen, remind me, no...don't remind me. I don't think my old brain will need it. Maybe I should not write like this any more. I think one of you are going to pass out. Lord knows we don't need 911 at passions. Thanx. |
