Without Words The morning comes Like so many before And I am empty Of its pleasures If my strength could, Just push it back Push the brilliant curtain, Into the dark Into the dreaming Into my heart The day is so eternal Congregations of the silent Voices without words Voices without touch Voices of the souls Trapped in shells Of crowded loneliness Just a breath away From the bliss The bliss of laughter The bliss of meaning Just a breath away from each other In the night lives The memories of All their faces The soft kisses The whispered meanings Spoken without worry Spoken in the kisses Spoken without words The love of before now Of other moments Of other times Of other ME's I gather up the night For its pleasure For its need, Cause it still speaks Without words To a lonely heart.

 (big hugggsssssssss) I too feel this void and know it ever so well, sweet friend, it too can deeply ache my heart but I know deep down there will come many mornings like those with those words and songs and again through the day and into the night you won't be alone in your rambles and will find comfort through the shades! (sigh) This is deeply honest and heartfelt, sweet friend, you have my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

very lovely (voted for) reminded me of one of mine with the same title: Without Words I welcome the cool of morn as it fans itself over my body, chilling the heat from dreams that drenched me awake. You came to me, without words, lips telling secrets touching off a new rhythm to my heartdance, leaving me breathless and out of step. For you are my weakness, and bleed me blue when I condemn myself to only you, cradled in whispers of mine to share a sleepless night. I sense your every thought, the desires of the moment in untitled feel. When I am with you, I have found my place, no more false starts. And in the frame of time, you are my morning comfort allowing me to surrender to a journey, a pictured togetherness, powered by a knowing, without words. M 7/06/02 |

'I gather up the night...' How this painted a picture as I read. Wonderful write this is! Accept these small gifts from my gypsy soul, and let the magik happen! ~~S~~ |

An interesting format, and an overwhelming concept. Sad how we can sometimes stop to drink in the night imagery, and be rewarded with nothing more than a reminder of how alone we are. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

Hi James. Your thought process, like waves cresting, hitting the rocky shore, and sliding back again... this is how your poem read to me. I enjoyed it very much. *s When you think you have heard it all, |

Very touching poem, excellently penned.  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

I'd like to thank everyone for your replies. My muse hasn't been very helpful lately, but your replies keep me from pulling to far away from my poetry. Parker |

Again thank you all for your replies. I've been so wrapped up in this boat thingy that I'm doing that my poetry seems to have slipped. I'm hoping that sailing on this great inland sea will inspire me to send you some words from the water. Parker |
