In bright of sun and dark of moon from love of one whose heart’s in swoon to touch the ray’s soft light in quest thy love of thee doth never rest Upon the flame of heat’s demise Tis love once spry which withers, dies Two hearts in beat now fade and go as embers dark burn not in glow When feathers of flight come for thee on crystal wings of ice born scree Out of the soul gleam of eyes fled down path untried aside life’s bed. ‘Gainst time and breath and life once old one love now past in mem’ry hold Embraced the bones ‘pon withered breast of aged love no longer stressed Into the brown of earth and soil blood of vein doth not flow or boil till love again conceived at birth and ember’s glow ‘gain warms the earth. |

(big hugggssssss) This felt sad when I read it, sweet friend, my heart goes out to all who face this experience and yearn for love again as memories lay like skeletons before them! (sad sigh) This is very emotionally powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much, you truly are our wonderful resident Modern Shakespeare! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

...and truth, through souls, should live again, by worth of life, a soul lives, then a birthing of love is formed just when the light gleams bright in your eyes, again... |

Magnus darling boy Oh my goodness! This is sooo amazing, the flow of this as always is perfect, the rhyme is utterly divine. It’s a sad piece which you do brilliantly, the ache inside fairly echoes in the hollows of a heart. How do you do that so well? Well whatever you do you write beautifully Love this I absolutely love it Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Whence gleam doth come to grace the eyes upon thy ground beneath a life, lies The beat of heart within soul shall be as strong as mighty winds, waves of sea. Till sea and wave are beyond the crest of storm and gale beating 'pon thy breast Mine heart and mind shall lie yet still in wait of words of dark pen 'pon quill. Thanx KJ...glad you enjoyed... |

When feathers of flight come for thee on crystal wings of ice born scree Out of the soul gleam of eyes fled down path untried aside life’s bed. A true masterpiece in words, Barry... Bravo! copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
