EMPTY KISS < !signature-->All the moments shared together, All the promises of forever. All the warmth of eternity, All the dreaming of you and me. All the passion man could be granted, All the stars of heaven enchanted. All the pleasure in a simple touch, All the little things that meant so much. All the smiling, all the laughter, All the thoughts of "ever after" Along with love with joy with bliss Just died upon thy empty kiss. Michael Anderson For all behind was dark and drear, And all before was night and fear. How many hours of night or day In those suspended pangs I lay, I could not tell; I scarcely knew If this were human breath I drew.

Well put Michael. it is a bitter taste that dries on our lips, of remembered love, and loss. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

All the stars of heaven enchanted. All the pleasure in a simple touch, All the little things that meant so much. All the smiling, all the laughter, All the thoughts of "ever after" Along with love with joy with bliss Just died upon thy empty kiss. -------------------- **** A single word of poetry That I will never write. A lyric or a lullaby That I won't sing tonight. A floor to dance won't know our names Fine wine won't pass our lips. A candle will not burn for us No touch on fingertips. No long kisses in the night, this love a lie your lips have spoken. All dreams of you die and fade away ... as does my heart,like the promises broken. ~DVC~ & ~JM~ **** so much said with so much grace... in so few perfect poetic words. eloquence be thy name M. take care poetice prince jm< !signature--> It's amazing How you make your face just like a wall How you take your heart and turn it off How I turn my head and you lose it all ... And it's unnerving How one move just puts me by myself There you go just trusting someone else Now I know I put us both through hell ... I'm not sayin That there was nothing wrong I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me And I'm not sayin We ever had the right to hold on I just didn't wanna let you get away from me. ~MB20~Leave [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 05-16-2000).] |

Michael, so sad when love dies, and what once was beautiful is now ugly, what once the sweetest taste is now bitter or foul. Great work my friend.  P.S. Still waiting on that poem you promised to write me!!!!!!  At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen.... It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart.... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
