Listening to every heart

0 posted 2004-05-23 12:22 PM



Shadowland

He calls to only me
so quietly
so soft

come

and I ache with aches
indescribable,

the pain so freshly wrought.

He cries out to me,
beseeching,
so quietly,

come to me

In shadows he stands,
I reach and fail to reach
and shed silent tears,

weeping only he hears

come to me, my love

and would I do anything
give anything
lose everything to once again

go to him

come to me

Yes I would, I would
sacrifice all
to once again
lay in his arms

hear his heart beat

touch warm skin

come

O, my love…

Sunshine, the pull of the shadows is very strong in this one and crosses my path every now and then, too.  This one got me...... jo

This dude better get the wax out of his ears
before someone else shows up.

Nicely passionate Sun,  nicely indeed.

This leaves me (nearly!) speechless in it's depth, power and beauty.

A beautiful and delicate poem, Sunshine, with just the right touch of longing and desire in the lines.

I would question the use of the word "hie". ALthough it fits it doesn't really go with the rest of the poem and gives the impression that the word is being used only to challenge the reader  and not for the poem's sake. Just an opinion of mine. The poem is terrific....
