Passions run deep though oft unnoticed
In the old and the very, very young
Fates conspire and the endless sleep
Leave thoughts unsaid on the tongue

The passion of love the passion of hate
And the course of life incomplete
The taste of love at the crest of life
makes dying even more sweet.

To love and to lose ere the passion is spent
Leaves the heart with a grievious joy
And life entwines the embrace of death
and makes a sustaining envoy

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

Keth,
What Silver said and death happens all the time. Just like beginnings.

seems we spend life
like small change
in a machine

and never play it with skill
just over and over

well done ms K...enjoyed it

Keth darling sister of my heart and keeper of my souls dreams this is utterly utterly outstanding writing. I adore this I really do, didn’t I tell you that you simply had to re post this?

Your first poem shows just how wonderful a writer you are darling heart, and also showcases your talent. It’s clear to me that you were always good, and just got better and better.

Truly your writing is wonderful, you write so well, scratch that you write brilliantly. Your clarity of expressing emotion is unique, well-done darling heart truly excellent writing

Love and warm stuff
As always

Dear Keth,
I was going to quote bits out of this and tell you how affecting they were. But then I couldn't choose, and it would look silly to repost your whole poem in my reply to say how great each line is. So consider it done.

The taste of love at the crest of life
makes dying even more sweet.

To love and to lose ere the passion is spent
Leaves the heart with a grievious joy
And life entwines the embrace of death
and makes a sustaining envoy
==================================

Yeppers...this serves proof...you came in here a poetess of rhyme divine...and have continued to shine.

Keth-girlie...the vocab in this is as impressive as the depth, the cadence and the poetic phrases.

The taste of love at the crest of life
makes dying even more sweet.

what a classic line that is...pure poetry.
very cool write Keth...mind if I keep it.

thanks *S*

Could you clarify the meaning of this for me please...I mean I am usually good at picking through things and getting to the quick of what is meant. But I am not sure...of course I have my own opinion but just really curious as to what exactly it is you are trying to portray.

Wow Keth for a first poem this is wonderful. No wonder you write so well, you did from your first.

Newell and Sy, thank you both for the positive comments.

Dark,
true, over and over is what we do when history repeats.

Mushy, thanks for encouraging me to re-post this - where would I be without you encouragement?

Nan, I have considered it done and my heart glows with pride.

Interloper,
Danka

Cheryl,
This was written on July 25th 1999.

skyshine,
it's interesting for me too. For I seldom reflect on growth poetic or otherwise.

Blues Serenade,
Life is very good. Thanks for noticing.

Janet Marie, what's mine is yours.

Noah, I love it when you practice restraint

. Thanks for responding.

jfreak,
it means whatever it means to you. I don't believe I had a theme in mind I was just playing with words.

Magnus,
thank you, coming from you that is high praise indeed.

floria,
I don't know about writing well...but I'm trying.

brian,
that shouldn't be a problem. I have more - the difficulty is in getting me to stop.

Kethry
