It is lonely here Between the folds of loving you Gulping waves of charcoal colored days That bid silence and my soul is sad The waters well and spill Forcing wretch of such emptiness A pallid cry engulfed in endless echo Floating me in colorless confusion All I hoped but an illusion Receded dreams to dry delusion My belly to the cold ground Face to soil not a sound That I would fade to dust Of endings only now to trust Until the last that would devour me It is your voice inside consoles to power me Soft green forests of your heartland Memory to lend a warm hand Bringing upright to my day a fortnight Just to breath your soothing scent And sleep becomes my heart Copyright Kkh 01/03/05 |

I know that place you are not alone but I know how lonely it is even though |

Soft green forests of your heartland Memory to lend a warm hand Sad but so beautifully said. Love, Margherita [This message has been edited by Margherita (01-05-2005 05:08 AM).] |

Bringing upright to my day a fortnight Just to breath your soothing scent And sleep becomes my heart How did I miss this jewel ?!! Wonderful. hugs, Chris ~The soul that can speak through the eyes can also kiss with a gaze~ |

Had to stop back for another read...I loved this for many reasons...although somewhat sad, there is hope and understanding and allowance realizing perhaps you are on the right path which is well designed for only you. It also reminded me of the Phantom, singing his grief for Christina...and yet, allowing her to go and love...as she was meant to do...his gift was to know love, for the first time in his life...and the blessings of that love, even if, it were only the Music of the Night. Outstanding write.... |

These are my favorite lines... It is lonely here Between the folds of loving you Gulping waves of charcoal colored days That bid silence and my soul is sad The waters well and spill Forcing wretch of such emptiness A pallid cry engulfed in endless echo Floating me in colorless confusion The second stanza seems to have a turn around of feelings, but I'm not certain. I get a little confused. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore. |

"It is lonely here Between the folds of loving you Gulping waves of charcoal colored days That bid silence and my soul is sad The waters well and spill Forcing wretch of such emptiness A pallid cry engulfed in endless echo Floating me in colorless confusion All I hoped but an illusion Receded dreams to dry delusion" It is lonely... perfectly said. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
