Eternity, How Long??? |

The winds of time have blown over me countless days. My weathered face, though older, still shows truth. Features once that of a young boy, young man... Now not as erect, slower, but ever gentle now. My mind, once consumed with fire and lust. Now graced with wisdom, faith, trust and love. Spewing forth my inner thoughts, feelings. My inner self stands proud inside me, I still grow. A voice once of a boy, now soft as a puppies fur. My eyes, tired from work, little sleep, tears Reflecting the beauty of you before me. The lust I once had, rekindled by you, your essence. The yearning and passion growing daily within. Chills overwhelm me as I feel your words of love. My breath, ragged and fast betray my thoughts. I feel now young again, vitality overwhelms me. Veins once only half full of blood now a raging flood. My hands, though worn, still gentle, lightly caress. I sleep with them on my heart, for there I hold you. My dreams, once dark shadows and shapes have you. You, your eyes.... flowing before me, calling my name. I rise at the thought of your touch, your hot breath. My days, longer now....for I cannot wait to hold you. How long is eternity....when you have all you want? [This message has been edited by Magnus (11-20-2002 10:16 PM).] |

My hands, though worn, still gentle, lightly caress. I sleep with them on my heart, for there I hold you. Oh Magnus dear poet!! This is just beautiful. I love it and it is going into my library. Love is ageless and timeless. Chris  "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Barry Eternity is not in the embrace, but in the longing to embrace. This was beautiful! |

 (smiles) Yes, when you already have it all, the meaning of eternity changes and it is all in the dreaming and believing in running the mile for it! (big hugggssssss) This is fabulous, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
