Till I've Ended

 The sun has arisen 
my stars gone away
this daylight forsaken
for night is my day
patterns above me
move slow , passing thought
dreams in the evening
hoist as ships sails taut
darkness in sheets
implanted with lights 
are small glowing morsels
feeding awe with delight

Bring soft filtered Daisies
cry silent these eye's
staring had through tomorrow
needing mim loves rise
not tainted these visions
to block in the climb
of host's beseeching us
to fleeting dark chimes

to hold not forever
just cherish for a life
Hope for a promised hand
an Angel, with Golden fife
played, melodious tones
gently captured our souls
like a soft, melting snow
to these rivers, loves foal  

stare not to deception
let eye's lead by Heart
fill life's trails, found bitter
with a sweetness of tarts
my love is this darkness
I always shall hold
from now till I've ended
to the touch I am cold

1780's

John don't know what your history is like back then I couldn't get a cup of tea some people had thrown it all into a harbour some place overseas called Boston and had the heck to call it a party, then damn it we could get any Bagles from New York as they wouldn't send them to us here. Then to top it all you started fighting us we just couldn't take any more so we left and let you get on with it. I will say that it's been a long journey for you, now you are a world power so they tell me and that costs lots of Dollars, Hope that your leaders can cope with the responcibility LOL, You take care over that pond. I have always said that England should declare War on the USA and then give in 10 minutes later and let you pick up the tab. Love you all out there, Yours Ian.T What a thing to say though that it would be your cup of tea in 1780'S La La

"loves foal"

reminds me of travels through Washington and down towards Yallowstone Idaho and Dakotas Loved the rail "gates" to keep in the cattle and then the fenceless highlands up and up into the sky it seemed swerving in green mounds and dotted with black cattle surreal times in our Chevrolet Van with captian seats bench seat and bed with storage the windows open the curtians fluttering as we hummed along to the highway song under the great blue of the red and white heartland thank you

Cheers & well done

Lovely write John, I add my voice & feel what I had to say has been covered here so I just cheers you on & encourage such lovely soulful writing, lovely deep imagery... Though may I just give you the feedback that I was most confused & distracted by your use of (") in various places, am I missing something? I could be, please correct me if I have made a mistake, but (") has always signified quotation marks to me, & is usually used when quoting something in a write...eg The minister said "please Sir, can I have some more?" this morning. Hope it's ok to clarify... As I said it distracted me when I first tried to read this lovely work, that would be a shame so I just wanted to bring it to you. Cheers & well done Anni~ "Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body". ~Elizabeth Stone
