Dearest Love Curious the song of night So sweet the silent melody Feathers of the angels fall Rejoiced in winters harmony Northern winds a chilling breath Freeze tears of sorrows burden The cloaked one’s reaching hand Removes the darkened Curtin Death will sing a souls release The song of winter’s lament Although the shadow of a heart Is frozen in loves regrets I’ve knelt before upon this ground Where sleeps a fallen dove And winters cold will never numb This ache my dearest, dearest love. James Parker Haley Jan 12, 2002 *** sometimes the poetry is about the POEM not the POET *** |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) So very sad, sweet friend, such regrets and sorrows fill these words of lost love! (big hugggsssss) Wings can be broken, but broken wings will always mend in time, and the dove of a lovers heart will fly again! (sigh) You are soooooo romantic, sweet friend, this is sad but very beautiful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Oh yes, I can feel the sadness ringing in here. The angel wings are not broken, they are just in need of some spiritual healing to continue to fly! (HUGS) RP |

Thank you for your replies. But if you notice my signature you'll guess that this is just a poem. Sometimes the writing is about the poetry and not about the poet at all. As in this case. Just an attempt to let a poem go where it will and capture the message it needs to write. I have never experienced this situation, and just want to express what I feel it may feel like.  Parker |

This is a beautiful display of your talents James and a perfect example of letting the poem take you where it may. I think that sometimes the best poetry a poet can write is when we simply allow our pens to go where they may. Me It is a blessing to have wings for words and passion in pen. |

Curious the song of night So sweet the silent melody Feathers of the angels fall Rejoiced in winters harmony ================================ Death will sing a souls release The song of winter’s lament Although the shadow of a heart Is frozen in loves regrets ============================================ You mean some poets dont actually DO everything we write about????? well who knew??? Well I'll be d*****.... (yes I will)  ROFL Ok..seriously now...to this poem....P-man...the fact that when others read this and it evoked such emotion speaks to your talent as a writer and the power behind your words....this is classic Parker poetry...superb imagery, masterful poetic phrasing and vocabulary as well as expression of emotion and all these gifts of your pen are tied up in a bow of your impressive mastery of meter and cadence... this read like lyric ...this is a melancholy, melodic beauty...I love haunted chilling edge you wrote this from ... Come in out of the cold sweet tease...I'll make ya some tea Even thru the darkest phase, be it thick or thin Always someone marches brave, here beneath my skin Constant Craving ... has always been.

JamesMichael, thank you. SEA, thank you sweety. I can't seem to get the software to work properly.... Sunset, thank you. Marina, thank you.... I do agree. Sometimes one line changes the direction of the poem, and death and romance join to complete the message. Its too easy for a reader to believe a poem is about the author if written in the first person perspective. Of course I get a lot of hugs that way. Enchantress, thank glad you did. Janet, thank you... are you trying to make fun of me. Cause if so I'd put you over my knee for just such a thing.... Well, I'd do it for the tea too. Sunshine, thank you kind lady. Canuckster, thanks very much. Denise, thank you. Parker |
