There are times, when sun will penetrate into these halls To brighten the décor and flood again these dankest walls There are those times allowed to sink within and see How much you have become that certain sacred part of me And even as I force myself to close the doors once wide And even as I seek a different ending, dreams collide There isn’t anything left undisturbed or sated still How much of me as claimed in every wish my heart does will In shudders well the tears, that once again must be released And sobs receive emotions lightning white and never ceased To chasms undeniable and endless waves surged high How much you have become without a sound or second sigh There are times, when even in the clearest mind confusion swirls To dim the aches and fill the voids as whirlpool whim unfurls There are those times allowed when dreams awaken fantasy How much you have become that certain sacred part of me Copyright Kkh 11/7/02 |

"And even as I force myself to close the doors once wide And even as I seek a different ending, dreams collide There isn’t anything left undisturbed or sated still How much of me as claimed in every wish my heart does will" this leaves me breathless.... loved it! |

Kathleen: this is a penetrating one worthy of many a re-read. I relate most deeply... -MVS "AS ABOVE SO BELOW" |

And I thought this was going to be a poem about fishing...sheesh! Instead, I find a very deep and passionate, yet yearning write...from the soul of a poetess....yes, open water...not a safe place...for when one is, that is where the storms, large waves and denizons of the deep reside... |

 (sigh) Oh Kathleen, I just love this, sweet friend, this is gorgeous, and indeed I think there is no exception among us all, for we are all confused yet when it comes to love what does it matter as it purifies and sanctifies you all the same? (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I just love your voice, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Kathleen, I wish so much that I could write love poems the way that you do. You can express your feelings so elegantly. It's simply beautiful. "Love makes the world go around" |
