Array ( [sid] => 169753 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => my god. . . is she sleeping [time] => 2011-12-29 18:26:40 [hometext] => [bodytext] => my god. . . is she sleeping

my god
she is sleeping
within twilight's arms
harm, silently lost
& weeping
we sigh
last breath's
still tenderly seeping
from souls lost
to loss &
to unsafe keeping

press to your heart

like petals in pages
a memory
wishing
a solemn release
into unknown
misting. . .
oh how we'll go on
but strangely
resisting
the absence of love
within our existing

a lullaby starts

her voice, so pretty
when she was
singing
eyes like glaciers
shed tears
& saddened
they're stinging
words of acid
wrench hearts
as the end
resounds, ringing

forever is. . . so far apart [comments] => 6 [counter] => 284 [topic] => 75 [informant] => elle [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )

I remember you from a few years back and remember your amazing gift for writing. It is refreshing to see a familiar name and this is a great reintroduction. Perfectly splendid imagery and flowing with a lightness that is both charming and captivating.

BRAVO!

Ah elle! So heart wrenching...this line got me. I could 'see' a girl with hand to heart.

'press to your heart

like petals in pages
a memory
wishing
a solemn release'

And by the way, Happy and Merry all the holidays gone past!!
