In the flow of eve’s glow, I sit here in solitude. Breathing in, breathing out, silently, yet forcefully. Thoughts of you keep circling ‘round my heart, fencing me in. Not one for being captured, tonight I willing accept Love’s enclosure. I am your captive, imprisoned in a cell in which only you hold the key. Unlock me, please. For I do not have the strength to survive unless I am free of all constraints, all restraints, all the rules and controls. The game of love too often demands Submission. And while I say to you now I may yet willingly submit, part of me wishes to stay close to an open door. So I beg of you, unlock the door, if you really love me. I will not leave, if you set me free. |

Kacy, Now pray tell who holds that key? I learned this lesson in my 20's and it was freeing indeed. Good write, as usual. Peace. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I'm not a kiss and tell kind of gal. But I'm glad you learned your lesson, bro. (And I think Nancy still has the key to your cell.) [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (09-13-2002 02:50 AM).] |

Kacy, You're pretty good at pop quizzes! Excellent answer, you passed the test. Don't know of any cells here, just love dens. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Midnitesun...Really good. I really liked the lines... Unlock me, please. For I do not have the strength to survive unless I am free of all constraints, all restraints, all the rules and controls. For love to survive it must be free...Paul |

Thanks, Ray. Neil is cool. Hey, I like that "fire on the mountain" bit. Paul, glad you liked that, it is true, isn't it? |

(smiles) Wow, I too have heard that Neil Young number, I listen to 97.3 FM KBCO here by the way, they play much Neil Young on that rock station and other classic and modern rock! (big hugggssssss) This is a powerfully bittersweet poem, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
