For too long you have let the dark consume Fleeting all affection as if in certain doom Tortured in imaginary sever, strangle hold its binary tether You are free as your heart permits you to be…or held in captivity forever Blown easterly, the clouds now gathered come to me Full to burst the hurt you felt, in snows pour down veraciously And thunder comes, screams belly deep erupt in drums Let fall the snows, once past let goes…the swells subside and silence comes The path that joined us plotted by the grace of God You are the left hand of a pair meant to applaud And warm in my eyes falling full to the rise Of what needs to be welled, given courage and shelled…there are storms to advise Think you not the abyss, caught off guard by my kiss Given stature and strength, brought the footbath of bliss Dry your tears of my hair, silken falls blend and bare Both the shadow and sun secret lives to be one…burst the clouds without spare Without pity this day, as my hand finds its way, in the help and the heal of complete that I feel Searching billow and fold, all the joy as foretold… given surplus and breadth in it’s lining of gold In this speechless event, where these tears pay the rent on forgiveness and soul to the fullest extent You are free as your heart permits you to be… or held in my own for eternity Copyright Kkh 2/20/05 |

I knew someone would capture this day and my feelings, even if I could not... and I didn't have far to look, did I? Excellent job, Kathleen. |

yes, indeed this was awesome... Upon reading the title, immediately heard the song, Clouds to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you.... Heart felt writing here gentle one... |

 I wear those words to bed at night.  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

“Without pity this day, as my hand finds its way, in the help and the heal of complete that I feel Searching billow and fold, all the joy as foretold… given surplus and breadth in it’s lining of gold In this speechless event, where these tears pay the rent on forgiveness and soul to the fullest extent You are free as your heart permits you to be… or held in my own for eternity” I was totally consumed in the entire write, but this last stanza had me holding my breath. This is truly a very beautiful write. Very nice. I will enjoy this one with each read, again and again. JL |

TD, I am always amazed at your word choices that bring out multi-senses. Your words just flow, but there's more to it than that. Their imagery can be heard as well as seen. For example, the drum part. I could hear its low pitch in the background. Nice writing! miscellanea |

If only the one who wears could be blessed by the comfort and company of one who is so held in highest regard by another...A fool denies..though beauty gives ever unselfishly. |
