somebody's dungeon

0 posted 2002-10-02 09:30 AM



I've slept late before..

Love came with morning break
played shadows on the wall,
the first dance of sun today.

With eyelids closed tight,
I missed the light
love then slipped away.

Without alarm of heart,
within dream I couldn't feel,
lost the chance
for romance
lost was my hope of real.

Therefore tomorrow
with the dawn
eyes open wide
and upon
I intend to feel
suns warm embrace
upon my face.

May destiny
at least
afford me this.

Though I've slept late before...

(big hugggssssss) Oh Anne, I understand this feeling all too well, sweet friend, sometimes I just wish I could stay in bed just so I can dream of my Joanna longer! (sigh) I wish nothing but loves true happiness for you always, sweet friend, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is beautiful, Rosie... I was all full of bratty comments as I opened it, for these days, I'd give just about anything to sleep late... for reasons of lungs, not of heart. *S* But I'll gladly yield any and all smirks to sincere appreciation. *S*
