An endless stretch, splitting the night with storms tapping windows darkness once fell embraced by lonely hearts with vibrant silence a stillness unable to touch, -- the finger tip thoughts of holding -- A journeys step between here and there That I could press my lips to water and taste the roots of each river that has bended us together That I could feel the ripples; -- each strand of hair-- to hide feelings Walls faded in growing seasons -- of long ago whispers; that I could forget the days of existing for nights of peace -- Or how fragments of spring beneath shade can be exotic -- a hint of color for baring weeping willows new foliage {he has closed his eyes a small start in the big window} In the rain tonight I found the faint hint of soft music -- gentle melody of watercolors Seeping across the landscape with gentle footsteps gold on gold, patchwork of shadows, images of emeralds Riding the ghost to edges-- leaning up against the wall rendezvousing with the raven- I don’t mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile |

In the rain tonight I found the faint hint of soft music -- gentle melody of watercolors Seeping across the landscape with gentle footsteps gold on gold, patchwork of shadows, images of emeralds Riding the ghost to edges-- leaning up against the wall rendezvousing with the raven- such a beautiful poem greeneyes ... it has much magic within ... your images are truly awesome ...and please stay awhile : ) ~wolfie In his mantle gray he walked one day across a shining floor |

An exquisite poem, Greeneyes. I am going to read this many times to drink in every drop of beauty, so that I don't miss any of it. Hope you won't be offended, but I think you meant "has bent" and not "has bended". Please may we have a lot more of your poetry. - Owl |

Walls faded in growing seasons -- of long ago whispers; that I could forget the days of existing for nights of peace -- Or how fragments of spring beneath shade can be exotic -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your writing always leaves me trying to catch my breath! It is that spellbinding and beautiful! |

Sigh, beautiful as always! That I could press my cheek against the warmth of your poetry...then I'll never grow cold again... "I'm the soul drifter, and I'm out of this town, ain't no use hangin' round, you see" -- Lindsey Buckingham, 'Soul Drifter' |
