 I'm raised by concealed hands; desire transferring me to lands, collected behind my dreams and on further than wind can carry man. Misplaced in the shadows of confusion such twisted visions caress my route, distorting what is, what was, what now? your distant smile lies crooked on the skyline. Nothing left to say when love is of loss it traps itself within a pocket of moribund air perforating my compassion and charging fiercely what once, would charge fierce. The world curled itself blue underlying greens, slashing the oceans blush, where polished shells echo forgiveness to her ship of mirrors gliding on cobweb cries. She pictures no more, the fragile heart I clutch, my eternal plea shall collapse soundless. Confined, its beat is forever distant beneath dry armour, I liquefy our love. I saw beside me, the faint fragrance of you Anam chara! you breathe inside the ghost that's me, and within the worlds heart I shall drift, eternally yours. S-G-K Anam Chara Gaelic for "soul friend" [This message has been edited by Samantha G Kennedy (07-28-2002 07:10 AM).] |

Hey Sammie this is wonderful! However, I'm used to you writing great poetry. I remember your work very well from your own poetry board. I changed computers and I lost the link so I haven't been around. Are you back from Paris or writing from there? Eric |

Beautiful, Sammie ~ And you slew me with this "I saw beside me, the faint fragrance of you Anam chara! you breathe inside the ghost that's me, and within the worlds heart I shall drift, eternally yours." ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... |

Love's parry and thrust, updraft and descent dizzying whirlwinds of where it stands (or lies) may well as cast confusion to the wind......though I thought I read an anchored heart in there? "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |
