Reaching out,  emptiness finds the feel
What once was a love, love everlasting
Holding only the air of breath from in

Silence

surrounds
takes my breath
devours me

Tears of loneliness stream down as fresh brine
becoming pools of salt on desert seas
Trodden by a thousand beats of lonely

Whispers

fall on deafness
echo in the soul of life
unanswered

Arms of strength now weightless and limp beside
Sighs of desire no longer emit, lips close
Kisses given in vain as moist kiss dries

Goodbyes

ring from bells
cracked of the heart
bleeding
          upon the ground
of life..

Magnus darling boy this is wonderful writing, you never cease to amaze me, without doubt you are a fabulous writer. The detail and emotion you have layered into this outstanding piece of art is amazing. I am totally captivated by the sadness and the aching loneliness that positively pulsates through this wonderful poem.

You are a writer darling boy a fabulous outstandingly good writer.

MY dearest darling girl....

YOU have proven to be....MY number one
Wench!

You never cease to applaud my words...and
I am most humble to receive them...

Thanx darling girl....You are utterly
fantabulous....and splendiferous....or
something like that...

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

Whispers

fall on deafness
echo in the soul of life
unanswered

These are real feelings that wait for answers that often times never come.
I so enjoy your verses of the heart Magnus~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~

So sad and yet so beautiful, Barry
