The surgeon knows where the heart lies in lay of quiet, pounding in the grasp of thump but he cannot cut out the ache of pain, transparent but mightily sincere in sensation he cannot diminish the desire, nor calm the qualm… she looks into his eyes as he says there is no draught for the drought, no Rx to rid her mental state of the flurry that hurries her thoughts along, for her heart is found empty of her own song He knows the maladies of milady, extending to her the briefest break of the tragic knowledge she was yet again in the wrong time wrong place wrong space Will it matter, he asks, if her heart might not ever repair, she can certainly live on for her body will still function though no compunction for her lips to smile, sustenance will feed her, only her soul may starve, limbs will move along, though no one need know the strings of the master He pats her hand, indicating there is nothing more he can do he is only a surgeon, and he has no potion for this ache of love |

'Will it matter, he asks, if her heart might not ever repair, she can certainly live on for her body will still function though no compunction for her lips to smile, sustenance will feed her, only her soul may starve, limbs will move along, though no one need know the strings of the master' I tried to write something along these lines once and didn't even come close to what you've done here. I really like this Soleil, very much! |

 (sigh) Oh Soleil, this is so very powerfully heartaching, sweet friend, leave the remedy to the witch doctors, seems they'd have more of a clue than surgeons! (big hugggssssssss) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Soleil, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

I could feel the pain as I was reading, it seemed. Goodness, this is good writing.  Hugs, Ethel |
