That which I had ever doubted Seethes reflexive intonations, astir Each naked breath chained to another Gasping at eloquent air, pulling in and out Damp and permanent despair These scars upon your chest Welt let brandish raw, the ache of unforgiven sin You cover yourself to my eyes…favoring disguise The changes shape my face, compassioned lines replace A sliding touch upon the wounds And further to the lost horizons Setting free the strobe of mere a thousand suns Born with vehemence upon so many hit and runs That shocks your system in a clench of wrists Eyes so full the solar storm delves into these darkened wells And unafraid, I kiss the tender sting away Lest you forget the purpose and intent the mighty pray Copyright Kkh 10/03/04 |

I like the compassion in this- moving. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

And further to the lost horizons Setting free the strobe of mere a thousand suns ...and wanting to add, these among my favorite lines. Robert Joseph |
