In Your Poetic Mind

0 posted 2001-11-09 01:04 AM


Repost for the mood I have been in for the last couple of days--
~~
I ramble in my mind, pieces of something

Does the runner in you trot on solid ground
or merely run in place on sinking sand
do you fear the dark of yourself, or it a simple
manner for which you have come to accept
a different love, a different feeling, different
I grow from the wounds of desire
and reach for a shadow that doesn’t
follow me, yet plays hide and seek
I wanted happiness in my life
a room of sunshine,
but have failed in the storms
of passing times that lay heavy
upon my heart
I have loved you for so long
that I can hear you breathing from here
and when your eyes close
mine close as well
I am too young to feel this tired
and too old to start over
but my spirit in its humble
light offers me some kind of hope
I look back upon yesterday
and all I see is the five year old
that skinned her knee
and cried when the bandage
was removed
I feel safer knowing that one day
my soul will pass through yours
and once again I will know comfort


I keep my ideals,
because in spite of everything,
I still believe that
people are really good at heart.

And you call that rambling???
I would love to hang out in your mind for a few hours and get a better picture, it seems there is a lot to be said. And your eyes ...
like stain green glass, letting the light of better days to shine through. WOW ... could become happily lost!!
Your work has great strengths, it shares your mind, your heart and your soul.
Most excellent!!

everytime...you mirror my heart and put into words the things that I all too often now dont seem to have the words for.
There is such quiet comfort in the reflections of your exceptional work...
thank you for that dear gifted poetess.
heart-hugs dear Lauren

I can be your hero baby ... I will kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever ... you still take my breath away ...

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

I have a feeling that a lot of us are in the same mood Lauren. . .

I still love it. . .
