As whispers fade and love is not when breezes cease to ‘gain caress from hearts now still of moment passed when tears fall, flowing to the sea Waves crest and fall as does the tide upon the beach of lover’s sands Now stilled by cold winds of the North Love dying, left within one’s hands. Quiet of darkening night falls as stars no longer brighten eyes Drying tears left to the vision of the walk, away, the last sighs. Quoth the heart....Nevermore |

Not a "black" heart. Nope, not here. Just beautiful verse  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Magnus darling boy again this is sooooooooo incredibly beautiful. You know I love this don’t you. Utterly utterly perfect poetry, you never cease to amaze me with your skill. Never do you fail to stir my feelings, to probe beneath the quiet surface of my heart and caress the very center of my being. Your words always move me, sometimes like this one they move me immeasurably. Exquisite writing darling boy utterly utterly exquisite and you know I love it. As always Mushy    Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Great lines Magnus! I don't think the heart can really promise you the nevermore but that was the feeling at the time!! Wonderful metaphors in this! |

Barry, There are so many parallel lines in this life...touches and brushes... I like this very much because it speaks so well of the goodbye...never easy and always so much to cherish. ThisDiamond |

I'm quickly running out of superlatives to apply to your poetry... outside of begging again for a book of it If I could dream the things you write I'd never get up on time! |

It is indeed sad that love can't last forever. Great job on this. Cor |
