Which Door ?

I felt the beauty
that flows in your heart
ribbons of time
that bind us in part

I've seen the majesty
of your smile,
lighting the days
forever in miles

Your gaze was a balm
to the hurt inside,
pealing the layers
that covered a mind

A courage that inspires
the valiant to awe,
even in tears,
a strength seeps to pour

In anger the tremble
speaks to all leagues,
thoughts are tender
and spoken with ease

In blood you've fought
the demons of hell,
In kindness you wove
a love lasting spell

Rainbows that sparkle
flow in your wake,
the ripples that spread
killing all hate

With faith I hope
for eternity with you,
Holding my heart
I start to step through

I always enjoy

5 Stars for this read, content and title great, Flowed well. Typo with, peeling, 3rd Stanza. You have written a sorrowful poem, but I found a beautiful sense of calm over riding the pain and sorrow that I felt in reading this, as I hope you did in writing it. Well done my dear girl. Love from Lyz. X

Dear Lyz,I am so glad you

Dear Lyz, I am so glad you liked this one i have surfaced from the deep again ... gotta love talking technicolour PMSL ... Sorry bit of sick humour not so funny LOL ... I didnt think it was sorrowful in writing hun but it could be that its the yearning in the lines, this is an old write, did a quick clean up and put it on ... havent done an edit yet but plan too in the next couple of days ... the pealing was meant to be pealing as in bells ... the sound of layers pealing off the mind just struck me as different and quirky , and I love different lmao :P and I am quirky :P thanks huni will ring you tonight got some more NEWS lmao ;) P.S its only two days till we come down there again YAY !!!! :D love and higgest bugs Jayneee

Dear Jayne:

This is a heartfelt poem, I can see that. I read between the lines about the steps you would like to take towards that admirable person you know and talk about. Your poem reflects an almost tangible atmosphere of sadness and longing. Whatever it is, I just encourage you to cheer up, in the good sense, not just cheers!, as someone had said before. Anyway, your poem is great, and you have a great talent! Sincerely, Hugo

suzanne takes you down to

suzanne takes you down to her place down by the river......and she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers. for she's touched your perfect body with her mind. Lenard cohen: "suzanne" which door? i am not clever.

Doors...

We do not have to step through all doors to see what is behind them, sometimes it is best if we look before we leap. I think that you were right to wait for the last one. The past may be a prettier place to visit, but the wonder of not knowing what lies ahead, coupled with that we hope for... I love it! ~ Gee.

***** (five stars) I loved this up-beat poem and found it to be very inspirational. It is good to see you posting a happy theme! There are so many great lines here it was very hard to pick a favorite, but here they are: In anger the tremble speaks to all leagues, thoughts are tender and spoken with ease In blood you’ve fought the demons of hell, In kindness you wove a love lasting spell Love, Cat p.s. You are going to see Lyz? (I snooped through your notes) Will you give her a big hug for me?
