The fullness of your mind casts a shadow on your face Taking you to secret realms, leaving time without a trace And I hear the squeak of screened door close itself against twilight As the coffee sifts my fingers through the filter of last light There is nothing I can tell you that I haven’t once before As the steam of two cups rising wraps my consciousness once more So I carry warm the brewing to the step where you reside Just a verb I am reviewing of romance on friendships ride Self consumed you sit in silence just beyond awareness door And I sit upon reliance in the depths that came before Watching closely as the shiver of the night air thrills your spine Calling to my inner knowledge as the hand you feel is mine Looking out upon the likeness of the dreams you push away Seen reflecting on the surface of the lake pools jeweled display Ever faithful at your footrest just beyond the boundary line Wags the true friend you depend on and one other given sign Autumns coming, heartbeats drumming for a fireplace so warm Smiles brimming, worries slimming in a place of rustic charm Over easy, set upon you as my lips trace muscles clenched Mouthing spells a life’s enchantment on the step we cling moon drenched Copyright Kkh 9/19/04 |

I was there with you, felt with you. And your words, as always, so beautifully displayed. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

There is nothing I can tell you that I haven’t once before As the steam of two cups rising wraps my consciousness once more So I carry warm the brewing to the step where you reside Just a verb I am reviewing of romance on friendships ride Self consumed you sit in silence just beyond awareness door And I sit upon reliance in the depths that came before I want to write like you when I grow up!! Kathleen, you're in a class by yourself, and your poetry is a perfect wonder to me. Thank you, always. |

K. you know that I have said before how I thought a particular poem was probably the best you had written... Well, I am gonna stop saying that, cause you continue to come up with one that probably is... This one probably is....but.... I didn't say that, did I? Well done Kiddo. You must be feelin' a lot better today... That is a good thing. |

"Mouthing spells a life’s enchantment on the step we cling moon drenched" what a cool line! In fact the entire write is such a delight, I'm keeping it. |
