This love we have is wondrous, strange and rare dear Matched by the beating of my fearful heart All my thoughts and prayers are re-arranged here And I have lost ere I began to start You caught me in the shadows of my life here Didn't know just what I wanted where or when You clasped the corners of my bleeding heart dear And taught me this is now and that was then I hurried to the future willing, blindly Held in lock the secrets of my heart Wishing for a kindred soul more kindly But I have lost ere I began to start I find emotions mulling in my mind dear To sort the feelings raised from way back when Yet echoes of the past, base and unkind here Remind me this is now and that was then The promised hope has shattered all my feelings We'd lost the game ere it began to start For time and tide of love has left me reeling Now and then the same within my broken heart. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Keth beloved heart when I get home to my trusty computer I shall reply properly but for now I'll just say this is utterly utterly utterly wonderful. NOW that is what I call exquisite writing Love and warm stuff as always Slushy Huge hugs and I'm missing you already and you haven't gone yet.   an aside to Kit, I need a smilie that waves goodbye with tears falling constantly Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Kethry...A beautiful; yet mournful tone to this poem. You allow us to feel your brokenness, your heartbreak with words that only a true poet could use. ***Ivy rose |

Great writing, Keth! It's good when you find someone that put the heartaches in the past and show you that better days are here....nicely said  |

To all my friends, thank you for responding, this was a rare muse that came when I was having fun in Florida. Now that I am safely home I will probably write more - but not yet I wish to savour the memories first. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

suthern, this was one of the Florida ones, not connected to the poets meet. So you may have been ill, or anything. Thanks to passing shadows for lifting this. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Keth beloved heart and painter of wisdom’s beauty, now it is time to reply properly, once more your writing is simply stunning. Your ability to speak with powerful persuasion with words dipped in poet’s translucent thought is so beautifully displayed here. Always you uncover the thought, and shading it in the perfect hue you frame it and then hang it high for us all to see. In the who of you I see Wisdom that reflects what will be In life’s knowledge you’ve walked far And you know all of what you are Looking in the soul of this I’m reading the intended kiss The touch of truth that fills me With your hope and your poetry On your journey into sighs Lift my soul into your dream’s skies Let me listen to your soul Learn what it is that made you whole Touch the thought as it forms there Believe in trust and learn to share Truly superb writing, you know that your writing fills me with awe, always your writing is awesome, and this is utterly utterly perfect. I went looking and see what I found……… I shall hunt some more out  Love and warm stuff As always Slushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |
