Shadows play
behind sheer bone--
a dark of traipse
to mock "atone"


a priest in gather of his beads


fingers splayed
in recluse groan--
finger's play--
leave me alone


deceased--I'd rather bleed in need...


hunger's yearning--
pain indwelled...
a lover spurning--
echoed hell...


release the tumult of this seed...


fire yields within the ice...


Hot and Cold


you've burned me twice.

She is the love in her own fire that burns.
I tend to think we  can put it out or stroke the flames for everything they're worth.  It's a tough call either way,  the bitter truth runs hot and cold....it's hard to say when the kindling will take hold!!!

I know these feelings Serenity~

closer even than the heat and the flame.

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

(sigh) Wow, this is poetically intense, sweet friend, such powerful, bittersweet desire escapes your quill and sears with sweetly painful burns of emotion! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
