Love him gently, For he cannot bear the weight of emotions concentrate To fly with all his might against the wind in stalemate For he cannot believe that you would care enough to wait Hold him loosely, For he cannot forget the chains that once impeded all his dreams Seclusion is not disregard in any way it seems For he cannot believe loves call, inept of painful screams Kiss him softly, For he cannot confide to feel of anything again To winter in the badlands of imaginary sin For he cannot allow another close enough to him Hear him kindly, For he cannot allow the pain to fall upon you now To silence he will fly, and watch from there perhaps somehow For he cannot accept the truth in heart or hand allow Love him always, For he will not admit you to the matters or these days To sleep within the rocking arms of sovereignty always For he cannot forget the way he matters in light of love he stays Copyright Kkh 11/16/02 |

To live, to feel, to appreciate... being loved....a hunger we all wish to sate...and to share a meal of the same with another who has that same hunger for us... Yet, the reins must be held loosely or the stallion will bolt, dragging the carriage far into the distance.... Kathy, you have a way with words that mystifies, mesmerizes and captivates the reader, scratching their head....asking if they read it this way...or that... Nice flurb... |

Diamond, Yes, I enjoyed. Everything is on loan, even love. For this reason we must acknowledge and treat tenderly these precious things. Well done   SG |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Kathleen, this is so very true, sweet friend, I dream of my Joanna so much and want so much to hold her and when I do I want to love her softly and dearly because I want her to feel special and happy and never want to let go of her! (sigh) This is sensitive and gorgeous, sweet friend, 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, this is beautiful. The kind of love I share with my Love. We both know what it feels like to be loved(??) by someone who is so jealous that they smother you.....eventually putting the flames of love out. Thanks for sharing this with us. "Love makes the world go around" |

I found this very touching, loving and sad. Very well constructed and even wise. In other words, lovely.  The stars will shine when I am gone, |

Graceful writing. Often we lose what we hold on to too tightly. When we enfold tenderly, love lives and lasts..... EA |
