{Tonight darkness
     steals moonlight}

My heart is empty

  shadows walk the edges
rivers
begin  to move whispers

I touch  water crying

I speak your name
far beyond the boundaries
of scarlet oceans       {still I am}

The child left behind
to walk bridges,
trying to catch the
reflection of

how light dances in droplets
of rain

my hands,  still empty

---

I am dreaming;
   walking   gently
in tones of a lost lover

spilling  words:

Dante will mend
       stone palms

I sing not of what
love means    this time

or how the sky will never fill
midnights veil

there are tears on
pages,   smearing
the lyrical flowers
pressed    in kaleidoscope connections

even the ravens lift their
alters of    purity

I look at this empty place:
where once we spent
nights  in conversation
memories
of night pushing back the dawns

they too rise on angels
wings    flooding the horizon

I    kneel on sacred
ground    offer
     you a lullaby,
say  goodbye

would you feel my touch--?

taste my tears--?

hear     my inner thoughts--?

which do not speak   but weep

for you

Will the wind ever remember
the names it has blown in the past
with its crutch, its old age, and its
wisdom it whispers no this won't be the last

Lauren, your style is a pleasure to read.
One could get lost in a dream as they read
your poetry... Very nicely done.

I agree with the Captain dear Lauren..
the words end all too soon.
I cling to every word you write..
never wanting a piece to end.
You are amazing!

Y'know, I've got this idea
that your voices sounds like
liquid silver,
tinged in gold.

I would love to hear you read sometime,
and I will, I'm sure, when you are
published.

you'll already know I felt every single perfect word of this....
so often you write the words when I have none of my own left...
there are times when its the only way I can exhale. thank you for that dearest butterfly poetess.

and I can't shake the thought of you ...

sister of heart...
I think you more than eloquently expressed what I feel so very much lately and just wasn't sure exactly what to chalk it up to, but I belive this does it so very well...

"My heart is empty"

sometimes...you write so much of what I feel,
this is why I KNOW so very well why you indeed are my

sister....

gal...

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Lauren, this is so very heartfelt, sweet friend, I am familiar with this darkness ever so well and I wish for Lady Luna to steal the darkness away as the darkness must be chased away by something else! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lauren, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
