Within Within the dark my candle burns Dwindles small with all its yeans Lighting but a bit of space But in that light I see your face. It is a face of phantoms dwell That shines from out my wishing well A face that haunts my spirits sight A face within a halo’s light A ghost that flowers in my dream A grace that fills my every seem A nautilus that sails the blue A magic mote of crystal dew Within the dark its credit lies Within the dark its spirit flies Within a veil it stays the day To sway the night in awesome play I dare not catch this apparition For fear it will destroy Emission |

A face that haunts my spirits sight A face within a halo's light A ghost that flowers in my dream A grace that fills my every seem A nautilus that sails the blue A magic mote of crystal dew Within the dark its credit lies Within the dark its spirit flies ================================= Could those couplets be any cooler? any more clever or poetically delightful? A nautilus that sails the blue A magic mote of crystal dew my oh my do I love that one!! And I had to smile at your reply on here about feeling like Old Faithful....but Ole F spouts steam and smoke...(like Randy)*L* You spout poetry...daily rhymes divine... but yep--youre a natural and national treasure alright. *ww* "Nature's first green is gold, |

Someone call EMS, I think I am having a coronary.....I believe I found a spelling mistake in HIS poem............Could that possibly be? Aside from a slip, always your classic style that greets our day. Thank you Sir Sy..... |
