I used to climb the narrow stairs up to your door; we'd sit and talk, until there were no words to say; you'd always share your tea. We used to climb the narrow stairs up to your mind; we'd walk in frightened circles until we had to lay our tired bodies down on sympathy. ©2003 by icebox |

I could read this many times, and find more in it each reading. Nicely done. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

We used to climb the narrow stairs up to your mind; we'd walk in frightened circles until we had to lay our tired bodies down on sympathy. oo, this is almost too scary to talk about. How vulnerable we all are. I love this whole poem, Icebox, and it's a keeper for me. |

I like the word play here, tea and sympathy, eh? And yes, I always immediately go for the metaphor of stair climbing and upper rooms to mean a purer reality. Egads, I wanna write like you. |

There's sharing and there's caring....and there's something without a name, that is beyond both. Thanks for giving us a look at it. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
