August winds howl around your sleeping I sit at our window watching fields of space looking out for that fly-by passion of yours it never seems to show itself to me. I cannot bear to lay aloof and stare at this dream I am grieving while it awaits patiently for my leaving all wound up like the fat belly of a little Ben filled with alarm waiting waiting for that thievish hour when it steals me from you. I love you sometimes I don’t though you might find that incomprehensible It is true, I think. What does it matter if I love you or not My skin doesn’t get any warmer and it’s through nights like this one I wish I didn’t. |

I just read Noah's response to your poem. Now there's a man who is warm and caring-- no woman would feel the need to express herself with such blatant pain as you have. Remember, after the dark nights come the sunny days. Take Care Love, Light & Laughter Linda |

Had I not been looking through my library I would not have known of this beautiful yet sad poem. I guess shame on me for not being around as much as I should, but I would have thought someone might have bounced it my way. Lovely poem Mmy-- hugs n such other affections as is deemed appropriate. JThere is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

filled with alarm waiting waiting for that thievish hour when it steals me from you. Love is strange like that. It makes us feel like we are on top of the world one moment then drags into sorrow. I believe that we carry our loved ones with us always, so we are never really apart from them. wonderfully written. Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. - Friedrich W. Nietzsche |

Maree, this is soooo powerful. I'm glad to hear things are going better now. Why is it that things can be so difficult around those we are so close to...well, I guess it is just because we are so close to them. But we do survive, you know? Great to read you again.  God bless America, my home sweet home. |

Maree I am so glad I was looking through archives, or I'd have missed that. thank you Jamie for bringing this back up! This is an awesome poem baby, though full of much sadness you convey your heart and soul beautifully as always. your words are so wonderful to read again. I'm back to stay now...and so glad you delighted us with this! love you. amy "if irish eyes are smiling...they are probably up to something" :) |
