Volumes after volumes are all stacked within my mind But just one page I’ve come to share, for that’s all I could find For it’s a page of poet thoughts, all quilled for you to see The volumes may have once been read, but this page now is me There’s places made from sunshine there, of drought that sees no rain There’s placed filled with teardrops too that store my inner pain A heaven for my loving, yet no wings for when I fall A chest that holds each memory, of which I still recall It lies there in a corner, in a place I go to rest My shadow sits there writing all the words I know the best The ink of all my feelings pour, of blood, of joy and tears Till sleep again does come my way and shadow disappears The page has well been trodden, has been studied top to end Absorbing time reflections by the shadow that had penned But waiting for the batten from the book that tells a tale Of heart that showed its inner soul, one poets holy grail |

Goodmorning Rick, Yes within each of us there is a story to be told...we are books to be read...pages of our lifes...written out each day. Also I get from your poem that your heart holds many memories/feelings and your heart could be your Holy place, your sacred place.... Brilliant poem sir Rick~ ~ARH  [This message has been edited by A Romantic Heart (11-22-2003 07:40 AM).] |

ARH, Good morning to you also my friend, though the time here is almost midnight. A poet seems to think all the time, so many words to decipher, but it is wonderful to share them all with friends once you have, have a great day and be well, thanks for the great reply, they are always heart felt. Sincerely Rick |

The page has well been trodden, has been studied top to end Absorbing time reflections by the shadow that had penned But waiting for the batten from the book that tells a tale Of heart that showed its inner soul, one poets holy grail ~*~ You fill the book well, Rick. It's always a pleasure to read your thoughts. Thank you for sharing so well. |
