In Deserted Moments I wonder why I think of you in deserted moments of my day. The million kisses I have stolen just from thoughts that come my way. Amazing, though I try to please, surrendering to yesterday. I've framed you, set you by my side and that is where you'll always stay. I tell myself what chance is there, while waiting for a moment's meet. Was it not just yesterday, that you had swept me off my feet. I'm holding plans to spring alive a list of such, a balance sheet. Reminding me of faith in dreams reaching for the real, complete. Time is always on my side, though aging still, another year. A touch of warmth, I feel inside when comfort calls and you appear. I've chiseled points, unmasked the hide, denial not a word to fear. The softness rises when you stride and eyes of mine rest on yours, near. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

This is just exceptional. Even in the midst of your darkest hours, you write with skill and heart. I'm in the midst of one of the worst writers block I've ever had. I tried writing earlier, and it was like pulling teeth. Painful while doing it, and painful after upon reading my effort. ![]() |

Thank you Virginia and Chris. Anne, I have never had a writer's block, although there are times when I don't wish to write. Sometimes just reading another's words or title will give me inspiration if I need it. ~Smiling M |

Maureen, (I hope you don’t mind if I call you Maureen? I blush anytime I write the word, “naked”... lol) This was real, real nice! You know, we’re either thinking of that person we want to be in love with. Or, we’re thinking of that person we are in love with. Or, we are thinking of that person, we used to be in love with... Whew!!! There’s a lot of work involved in this love thang, aint there? Geesh! Maureen, I really liked this poem of yours, Wonderful! Richy |

I'm holding plans to spring alive a list of such, a balance sheet. Reminding me of faith in dreams reaching for the real, complete. Time is always on my side, though aging still, another year. A touch of warmth, I feel inside when comfort calls and you appear. I've chiseled points, unmasked the hide, denial not a word to fear. The softness rises when you stride and eyes of mine rest on yours, near. This part especially stood out..... Reminding me of faith in dreams reaching for the real, complete. Thank you for allowing us to read another perfect poem of yours. ![]() Hugs, ![]() Ethel |
