Guilt Aspens quaking in the waking of a dark and forlorn thought, To the smiling of beguiling eyes that all but Time forgot. In a vision, thought derision, given the Lord of her Keep; Lay I, lowly, my head, slowly, to the masquerade of Sleep. Dreamless, dancing death romancing all she ever cared to be, How I wonder, fallen under this spell, how she came to me. Shadows singing, echoes ringing, of the timeless moment spent; To a sadness deemed as madness, I yet wonder where she went. Echoes fading, Time parading: Lo, the monarch of the day. Sit I, sighing, soulless, dying for what I've watched slip away. Laughter lingers off the fingers of her wispy hand in fold, Still I’m reaching, yet beseeching her for All secrets untold. To this season, void of reason; has all heart and hope contrived, By an aching voice in breaking, to stand forever deprived? By the longing and the wronging of a dream I never shared; Will I falter at the altar to a charge: I never cared? Michael Anderson 03/24/02 But dreams of those who dream as I, Aspiringly, are damned and die. EAP [This message has been edited by Michael (03-24-2002 12:44 PM).] |

This is such a powerful and sadly beautiful write. I was hanging on your every word and thought. It moved me in every way and touched me deeply. Thank you for this. |

Michael, With brilliance and classic style you have expressed what few dare to look at... As a friend had told me... "do know that you can fly." Best Wishes, ThisDiamond |

The rhyme scheme you've woven so perfectly throughout, lends itself beautifully to the flowing cadence ... the entire piece just sings Michael. What a wonderful read ... what a wonderful ponder. Very much enjoyed, as always from you! Best wishes, /Kit |

Michael, I fail to see how someone with emotions this powerful can be accused of not caring. Stay strong.  sky |

Dreamless, dancing death romancing all she ever cared to be, How I wonder, fallen under this spell, how she came to me.

I'm sitting here shaking my head at you... I dont know which is more impressive...but I know the internal rhymes, alliterations, word play and turn of phrase in this just blew me away. Added to the way you master vocabulary and cadence...and then the emote which always leaves me breathless...and once again.. you take poetry to higher levels and teach us what one can do when they listen to their gifted muse. You are poetry M ... and Im just grateful to get to read what you do so very well. jm Of all the things in me I could never be, |

i sincerely doubt it... knowing you, i'd say the worst you could get charged with is caring too much. peace bro, very well done, and no gramattical errors  |
