I have thought in rooms alone in silence The slowing comes to stop and thinking’s clearer I’ve observed my thoughts as they come I observe so much in me I know myself better every time I know how I feel and in observing why I see I am not the only person that I’m thinking of There are friends who I wish were not fading away Who were good to me and returned no favors Now gone to my eye for long months I may But I see also the people called my family They walk in gray and speak without wisdom Sad for their blindness I tell them the way Def to my words they all stay the same More so than the others I’m always thinking of her Her hair that shines in the night or the day Black as the beauty of darkness that frightens the unknowing The darkness of eyes too that I follow to leap Her skin that is white as the snow and more beautiful She has warmth like the sunshine is one with her soul These words I describe are so poetic, but she is much better Descriptions are worthless to me she's much better It's not what but who that makes me this enthralled I would do everything to make her happy for nothing To see her baby fat smile that shines out songs from her heart And so I know I love her without doubt or restraint And yet because I love her I give myself pain I love her like the flower loves rain But she will never love me so I love to sustain I love to make plane what once was not gained I am the two-toed wanderer [This message has been edited by themute (08-22-2006 07:03 PM).] |

I've had those moments, when slowing down the input, the noise of life, I can allow myself a clearing...a space, to discover my 'quiet' being, and to allow 'love' thoughts to emerge. Sometimes, they are not reciprocated, unrequited, unreturned from the one I thought I was concentrating on. |

Even when love is not returned, all is not lost, for in our loving there is much to be gained. "I love her like the flower loves rain" ~ A unique and beautiful expression of love! EA |
