To the Heart Can you see past the river where the torn ground spits out the sound that eases doubt,and the tremble of leaves is only fear, and perhaps deer, a place unnamed where one sits and talks to the start? It would appear that no one is here to listen to heart that fills up each day with high octane and roars around the glitter pushing aside the chaos until there is a road that takes the lonely away from day. The banter of lips are torn from touching heat so often, until blistered they part and drink from this place where beginning is so cool and the wash of life catches a callus that came from too much fool. Too much filling up and letting out and filling again rubbed in and all that is left is to be here taking a breath and maybe asking a question and listening as the sky quiets and the trees stop tremble, to the heart. ------- 4-02 |

'The banter of lips are torn from touching heat so often, until blistered they part and drink from this place where beginning is so cool and the wash of life catches a callus that came from too much fool.' I like this Martie. Bit of a different feel for the day, one I relate much to. |

I think Suthern spoke for me, and yes you truly remind me of why I love poetry so much.  Hope you make it through the day and find a tub and bubbles waiting girl! |

Such imagery, such lovely verse, so Martie is this one and perhaps the reason you remain one of Passions favorites |
