Hidden
[Terza Rima]

Somewhere, hidden deep in blackest archive
A treasured chest of words in blessed blend
Somewhere, hidden deep, where they, alive,

Comforting with truth, mayhap love, portend
Where I shall win my rest and nightly ease,
Neither nightmare nor concern shall contend

Whereby this heart be held lone in love’s seize
Where this mind be bent in blessed relief
Where worries art cast to far away breeze

I pray that the dark skies shall not be brief
But long bathe in your words among the sheets
Allowing salt soak of past tears base grief

Below, Crier sings as he walks the streets
Calling out that all is well, all is well
My weep a silent, lone, and somber beat

Somewhere, hidden deep, is my love’s sweet swell
Somewhere, hidden deep, peels my mourning bell

~*~

I would like to thank all of you
for allowing Passions to be a
Poet's Home of Choice
But especially, a thank you
to Ron, the Administrators, Senior Moderators
and Deputy Moderators, for all that you do...

Write On, and Enjoy all that is yet to be...

Karilea,
Hidden, close to the heart. Awesome.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

'Tis quite difficult to HIDE when posting one's 30,000th post, isn't it?

This is a truly wonderful piece, Karilea - and surely done in your grand Sunshiny way.

Congratulations on being the first member of Passions to achieve this momentous honor.

Let the SUNSHINE on...

Well first of all you deserve thanks. And congratulations on 30K. This, a fine rhyme and that face too honest (and pretty) for any nightmares. Enjoyed.

I find it very hard to believe that not only did I read this already a few times today along with printing it out and reading it a few more times.....and I am just now realizing that I have not yet taken the time to reply. Perhaps that is because you already knew that I couldn't say anything more than perfect right?
Karilea, this is an incredible achievement and about all I'm even going to try to say is Passions is blessed to have you here and I salute a lady who I think very highly of, and you KNOW what I mean. You are a

I want to thank everyone for taking time to read this first effort on a Terza Rima. Nan is a hard taskmistress, but always, the efforts seem worthwhile, if only in my mind. Thank you, all!
