The is something about these recent nights making me wonder if I ever really knew you. Did your voice turn my heart inside out the first time you said hello to me? Did your laugh make me smile and realize, in hindsight, that I hadn't known a laugh as genuine as yours for a very long time? Nights without your ears to drink my sound and fill your soul with the announcement of my love for you makes things in life so much more difficult to bear. I'm just down to not believing in my existence as long as I don't have your magic to reassure me. Perhaps that is why you're gone right now so I can believe in myself without any help. Darling, what a difficult task that is. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are dreams to be dreamt but I sleep with restlessness since your soft "I Love You" isn't here to tuck me in. There are moments to think of you in AM hours when our moon touches the magic of our love and parades it before jealous stars, but I make love to lonliness in the absence of our long goodnights. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How, in the madness of needing you can I be so daring as to live normally? To wake in the morning seems to take a great amount of strength and nerve. How, in the wake of desiring you, can I even think of doing anything but sitting on the edge of myself in perfect composed wait for your return? How guilty am I for going on doing the daily mundane when there is so much "loving you" that has to be done? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know you and because of that I'm loving you and because of that my heart sings and because of that hope dances around me and because of that and all of this I am afloat in adoration both yours and my own. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |

"How, in the wake of desiring you, can I even think of doing anything but sitting on the edge of myself that one took my breath away....for its content and its reflection, So that was you in my mirror *L* This Jenn girlie--tis much more than a "note." very cool write Poetess T. (love your new sig) So it seems your saving grace was only saving face, |

Jenn, this is amazing! You reached right down in there and pulled these feelings out for us to see. Wonderfully penned. I am not even going to point out my favourite lines as it wouldn't do this piece justice. It should be read in it's entirety. ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

These notes play very well. If they are heard. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
