In between the minutes waiting, Within the limits of this isolation, The ocean speaks your name In aqua-traced whispers, Breaking me of the boundaries I’ve set In loving you... Distracting me from the yearning, Stimulating me out of my sanded inhibitions, This night lays my eyes On the gathering syllables conveyed Beneath the surge... When the moon reaches that point, When the tide arrives at my feet, The slow shore breeze brings to me Understanding of your vision evolving Far beyond what I could have imagined... In between the waiting minutes, Within the limits of this isolation, The ocean speaks your name In aqua-traced whispers, Breaking me of the boundaries I’ve set In loving you... -kh '02 I've been down this road forever, |

when I read a poem? I listen for an inner voice, first...and what I heard was no words, but the hypnotic rhythm of waves. Then I look for structure, and again I found, the hypnotic rhythm of waves. As I read again, for emotion? I was lulled and then enticed, by hypnotic rhythm of the waves. I read the title now, and have to wonder, if "increasing insight" is nothing more than tides on high...that soon recede again? HMMM... grin...that reply was almost a poem in itself! see how you inspire? Lovely, to read you again. |

I have'nt read any of your work for a while and just now I realized how much I missed your writing! The metaphorical application of the ocean to freeing your gaurded love is excellent! |

Timeless, ceaseless, subtle erosion of the shoal of longing. This I like. |

Breaking me of the boundaries I’ve set In loving you... Distracting me from the yearning, Stimulating me out of my sanded inhibitions, This night lays my eyes On the gathering syllables conveyed Beneath the surge... I can't tell ya how much I wish I'd written that! Damn. Forgetting all I'm lacking |

Marbled memories ruptured in the rise of tide bring the corridors of eternity atop the crests of white release Realization of the boundaries that never exist brings the key to these passages and allows one to travel the skies on a higher plane of harmony. Make sure you recognize love as the gift it is and not a need that is out of focus |
