Beyond the Windows Frost Within this soul of sadness there is a flicker of happiness Waiting for these long mornings to one day end… I have written countless letters to you, To strengthen the faith we promised to our souls; But I fear the silence of the fallen pen Because it means we will never sleep again… I want to toss this rope of life into forever And pull until the optimism of my hope grows weary; But loose has been the luck of my noose over the years When I have used the many thin threads of memory and pain To delicately sew together the distance of our past--- A past that gives the stars a reason to smile… The streaks of violet and chartreuse you see in the skies Are my sweet thoughts that I present to your dreams, Flowers of innocent lust and emotional need; A gift from my heart to your heart, As you sit on the edge of your eternity… Marcel |

I linger in the long hall between reticent and starvation. Listening to a voice calling softly...guiding me back to the open door. Thank you for writing this beautiful letter. |

i would like to give some suggestions to make your future writings better, your use of rhyme is ineffective and unorgonized in the first two stanzas, your use of paradox is lacking, addtitionally your flow throughout is jarring and sudden; its changing in each line, and even in the middle of some. once again, these are intended as constructiv as your actual message is unique and well imagined on paper.
