I cannot go with you for there are those who hold me here in melting memories that clutch at my today keeping me from the joy of tomorrow within your embrace Please, I beg you, please do not shed the tears for me to drown in for I am not worthy of the saline of you I cannot go I can not go though my heart treads the waters of goodbye do not ask my heart to explain the why~ ~Soft poetic sighs of a parting~ (SOMEONE ELSE'S ink dripped into my quill ?) *Honest Injun* ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Crackling fissures borne onto my heart from what you have written. What has touched you so, as to bring these painful words pouring forth onto paper that usually radiates joy? Heartrendering. Sandra |

What you do with words. Masterful! Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

A winning write!!! You've dipped your quill in a wounded, mourning heart and came up with a winner. Kudos! Love and peace, Maggie ((~.~)) |

SweetSandra~ Sometimes I simply catch the thoughts of others ... this one came in a three-minute rush ... overriding my own ink ... crying to be poured~ I don't often 'understand' the 'why' of it ... but I usually just *sigh* and let it happen~ Someone will let me know who they belong to~ Loper~ Oh, you just say the nicest things~ The 'words' write themselves in this one~ MaggieDear~ Thank you always for believing in my ink~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ Email - [email protected] |

*sigh* May I borrow your muse Marge? I haven't seen mine since Halloween. This is a heart ache of a spill. Love you. Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile~ |

Gee, I remember when that used to happen to me. The poem would be running through my mind and I'd have to get to a pen to write it down. It's been a long time since...maybe it's because I seldom run anymore. LOL Your poem is precious. Rae |

(...shyly raising his hand....) Here. Over here. It's mine. But you've used it so well, I couldn't possibly ask you to give it back....you keep this batch, it's well-bestowed and I've got more, much more. |

this sounds like a gentle spirit or maybe even a few passing shadows |

M'dear Marge, this is most assuredly your ink. However, you are using a different colour this time! ~ and your inks rival all the colours in a rainbow! Love & Rainbow Light, EO |

Margie girl as always you write what you feel, and beautifully done. I'll send you some pretty pics of us all at the renewal when I get them, and I looked lovely, so did the others, but then i am the pretty one aren't I. Awfully vain creature aren't I? Take care always as always Mushy Keth says that it isn't always pretty that counts, we both send you a hi from a cold and bright Maidstone. Love you muchly x x x x Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

I can't claim it... even though I'd be honored to do so. *S* Your talent is surpassed only by your greatness of heart, dear lady. *S* |

I can only say a humble thank you for the replies to this spill of ink~ Too many have written me to let me know that their hearts are stained with the word-cries of this one~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Marge, I can read this both ways. I see in the back of my mind someone telling that dark angel you wrote of, that it is not time to take her/him because there are those still in need of them here, and more to do before they go..... best to you,martyjo |
