We Once Wrote Poetry We once wrote poetry as we lay entwined beneath weathered quilts where your fingers traced syllables onto the parchment of my skin In the dark before the light you moved over me like a dream all scent and touch and shadow as I swallowed your phrases long before they ever left your lips Together we found our rhythm stirring up needs that never seemed to still We once wrote poetry long after the sunsets afterglow and fell asleep dreaming that our words would last forever We once wrote poetry now all that remain are empty sheets I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |

RUTH.... wow. I like it when my favorites poets and I are on the "same wavelength" of sorts. I like it even better when I see your name. |

Absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching - wow. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

This is exquisite! I should have expected the sad ending from the title... but I was too caught up in your beautiful depiction of the poetry lovers write... much like life, I guess... the ending isn't always as we'd like. *S* Excellent! |

Hoot, a sad, quiet little thing, this, that breathes in a house alone. Hope all is well with you, dear one. Corinne |
