[bodytext] => You do not appear anywhere down
all the mazed days of my searching
in this autumnal October sorrow.
You stepped smiling and sure
out of the ivy garden of my heart
into some improbable tomorrow.
My soul knows you most intimately...
roots run deep in my garden;
though I might miss your face in a crowd.
Joy played a while with my dreams
then gravely gathered them up in a shroud-
(a little time of pleasure but mine)
...while time was known.
Now only this I know:
Wherever you are in time,
by whomsoever loved,
my heart will go-
still capable of song
though faint and ineffable,
as fragrance of frost.
You taught me a thing of much movement~
I did not know one could live
with life itself.. lost
until you.
Billy

laced with fragile beauty, so raw...
these words
so promising.
A portrait of emotions...too fair for my sore eyes.
"faint and ineffable,
as fragrance of frost."
I have no words.
no breath.
thank you for sharing your talent with us all.

Wondeful title
Words that captured
They have told, the deep
Your very last lines, captured what was true in the heart....Did not know one could live
with life itself...lost
until you.!
Such words, to someone, who seem to find
Yes, beautiful write.!
Brew~ |

“You stepped smiling and sure”, such vindictiveness in this exit….
this poem was riddled with sorrow...but upon closer examination…a sense a inner peace
emerged
as only MOH can do it
simply brilliant

*wipes tear from eye*
Gosh, Billy how your words do tug at the strings of one's heart.
Beautiful. Captivating. Enchanting.
This is so tender and touching ...
" stepped smiling and sure
out of the ivy garden of my heart
into some improbable tomorrow
oh god! *wipes another tear*
I am seldom rendered speechless ....
One word. Magnificent!
I am moved, my heart stilled.
A brilliant work of art ...

Quite the 'ode to' we have here! You wrote this in the perfect style; outlining your profound thoughts where need be, and holding the reader captive.
Then those last three lines...I'm sure every woman let out a collective sigh after that!
You are a skilled poet Billy...there's absolutely no denying that. Well done.

You had me by "improbable tomorrow", actually.
Those words, along with the title and the heartwrenching conclusion, tear through me. Epiphanies are powerful things... wonderfully so at times, and painfully so at others... and in this case, both descriptions would apply, I think..
I always leave your page feeling somehow different than I did when I arrived at it. You take me with you, Billy... and that, in and of itself, speaks volumes.
Again moved,
~Snemmy

Somehow I know this.. Billy... this... observance, this write... I am very aware.. my senses.. connect..I do understand you...I must say you have won, especially...your sight, recognized by your heart.. your minds heart that is..it is obvious you are very alive, not lost as I see it in your write.. lost to a world that is corrupt in challenge.. of itself.. bare with me.. time is all I can give.. is all time is... for all.. to take.. and then.. a given.. from.. the giver of time...
