Predilection Purple Predilection purple of April rain Makes more hospitable an easy chair evening Green tea steaming; frothy bubble foot soaks My reading light set soft, my heart to listen Thin, the whispering of your name echoes surely Made pale in the wrapping of down, close and far Mouthing futile incantations to smile absurdly That I might transcend this longing for now We are friends, uniquely and reverently Humble as love blossoms forth just the same Perpetual bloom, and I fan my eyes at the moon Questioning your silent times as hidden doubt It is not you I doubt…but truth Evasive sends the innumerable quiet to smother fear Reading my emotions through closed eyes Touching there upon your sleeve a question Might we be the deeper dream in repertoire? Kept separate from the usual fare In these moments sated in the damp of trust My reading light set soft, my heart to listen Copyright Kkh 3/31/06 |

"In these moments sated in the damp of trust My reading light set soft, my heart to listen" Oh yes. I love the whole poem but the ending is wonderful. |

These were my favourite lines in this well crafted poem! "We are friends, uniquely and reverently Humble as love blossoms forth just the same Perpetual bloom, and I fan my eyes at the moon Questioning your silent times as hidden doubt" |

Such love and hope expressed so delicately in words that are but a puzzle waiting to be laced delicately together. |
