~*~ It has come time to assume the soul of an unrelenting pain For certain sire, my eyes request the answers marked again Unquiet discontentment fills the space once offered humbly That now defines the fortress of the love you turned away from me Sent trembling to my knees before your boom and sharp delivery Less than the score of perfect then equates a failure certainly To leave and left the basement of Cinderella’s dusty dregs While sire, I have climbed the walls and fought to see as fortune begs What lacked in me that turned your eyes away into the fogs escape My army carries bread and fruit, in woven baskets, part dawn drape To covenants that speak of me as strong and worthy shined The power to bring right the steer into the sun defined And sire camp has been divulged…illusions meet my sword I strip away the high neck gown…seen in my birthright bored Not princess or a queen of hearts but warrior by right And sire as you stepped away, my own strength came to light And burn the candles of forever, serving you true love For as I turn and walk away to mountains high above The lessons and the emptiness are legions to be won And sire in the man I love there sets redemptions son Copyright Kkh 1/18/04 |

As always your verse is exemplary--and I am a meter-challenged poet and can't help but admire the rhythm of this piece-- if you could fill me in, I'd be most grateful. And ty, TD--you continue to post first-rate offerings. I'm very much an admirer. |

What lacked in me that turned your eyes away into the fogs escape My army carries bread and fruit, in woven baskets, part dawn drape To covenants that speak of me as strong and worthy shined The power to bring right the steer into the sun defined ~*~ Layers and layers, Kathleen. Worthy of the library, for late night reading. |
