Crumbled petals scattered north Abandoned swing upon a porch Within an empty window's stare No one there, no one there Forgotten notes in sing-song rhyme A steady beat but lost in time Paired hearts tied with gossamer lace Rests in some forsaken place In some forsaken place they die If not for ryhme then there go I So pen in hand, lost love's lament 'pon papyrus dry one's true intent Melodies play o'er long lost hills To twist inside the bitter still Born of womb, yet far too soon Exhaled aloft sweet crescent moon ~tier |

(big angel hugs) This is sooooooo beautiful and the imagery soooooo soulful, sweet friend, every old, abandoned house indeed has such a story that longs to be heard and so many stories of legendary love or lost love within each home always feels to me like millions of romance novels and dramas waiting to happen! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

"If not for ryhme then there go I" smile This rhyme thing? Even in free verse, I can't seem to help it. it's like that empty porch swing creaking rhythm in the wind--I hear music everywhere. Love to ya teirs... this was elegant m'love. and tight too. Not easily accomplished but you have finesse. |

'pon papyrus dry one's true intent ~*~ my love of pen to ink drew me to perform an act of... respect when it came to a grade school project to study, explore, and write about something that still had use in today's world, some 4o+ years ago.... I looked back on antiquity, and decided to write of how paper came to be.... all the way back to papyrus... Thank you, Tier.... for bringing back to me this fond memory. |

This, most worthy of a bump back up... simply because 'tis the season to jot down our notes to loved ones, family and friends... and this particular poem, brings to me the thought of leaving only our best behind... hugging you for this, Tier... |
