My heart
held gently
almost lovingly
in its grasp
precious moments
these

Ah in dreams
       in dreams

Until the
hold loosens
and heart slides
from fingers
shattering
in pieces upon
the floor

Again
     and again

Raffaele this is a beautiful, powerful vision..... and luckily your heart is strong and gathers all the pieces and mends itself graciously  ... again and again ... until it will not doubt anymore that it is Love!
Le tue parole sono bellissime.
Abbracci, Margherita

God this is lovely even in its pain
you write beautifully sweety

ahhh that heart - amazing . . .
the only organ I know of that keeps
getting abused and heals itself over
and over and over . . .

a mind of its own too

This one is truly just . . .

Your way of expression and depth is so FRIEKEN' amazing, you scare me in a good way.
I swear to God that you MUST know me somehow, and even then each case is it's own type of hell even when there's hope.  This poem is just so powerful, especially the ending.

hehe and now you know why I'm your manager...a wise man like you makes me look like a genius hehe then again, who's ever heard of a wise man?! okay, corny joke, but, it's good to laugh when life is bad, huh?

Okay, this is the third keeper of the day~

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

'Ah in dreams

I liked the style and brevity of this Raph, lends itself well to the final impact.

Raph - sometimes - late at night
I try to sneak up on it and . . .
well - lets just say it is more intelligent than I and has caught me once or twice with the pillow overhead . . .

(goodness I need help)

see what no sleep does . . .
oh wait - I have always been like this
nevermind . . .
