A partly kissed moment sings with the great frustration of love unmet. Dusted in the sorrow of the world she tied her feet to the path of pain once more. Along the trail came a the tyrant dispair to hug her heels and weigh her down again. She kicked at the empty air around her trying to find something to make contact with a place for her blame. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If shadows dancing did prented of love and time partaken rest your soul you weary one Do not by night, be shaken. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Time thinks not of us as much we think of it. This I am certainly convinced of. Why give so much thought to something that cares not for us? Isn't it such a selfish thing since it rambles on with no notice for the pain or joy in our lives? How dare it not stop for a simple moment to capture and hold, for a time, someone's breath as it touches the air around it. How dare time not cease with us as we take a second for a kiss and a lifetime to say "I love you". *notes by Jenn...umm..does this one make sense?  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All these thoughts.. words like delving into my soul to elaborately dress one "I love you" in the rich royalty of passion and poetry. All these thoughts words I have but one thing to say and I am spoiled with too many words to speak it with. One simple "I love you." Colored with the whispers you cause with the sound of your voice. Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

Enjoyed these, T. They kept getting better as I reread . . . Some good lines: "A partly kissed moment sings . . ." "How dare time not cease with us as we take a second for a kiss . . ." and "Colored with the whispers you cause with the sound of your voice." I suppose it helps that I've long had a fascination with 'the enigma of time'. |

I begin to find we must seize the time, make it our own and ignore the incessant ticking. Enjoyed |

 (big hugggsssssss) Yes, to cherish every moment with simple sweet love is the most beautiful thing, and to say "I love you" honestly is pure beauty! (sigh) Very wonderful thoughts, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jennifer, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

moments. . . why don't they last longer???  and yes, they make perfect sense. . . when you think about them. . . and that's the sign of a good poem. . . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

You certainly took your pen and plastered the paper well with this. So many words expressed...I enjoyed the selfishness of time. Yes, isn't it so rude!....Just keeps on going, never stops, not even for just an instant. |
