Array ( [sid] => 77111 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Shadows [time] => 2004-12-24 09:14:31 [hometext] => This was one of my first writes in at least 12 years (the save date is 2001, but I may have written it earlier) ... of course, I've definately grown as a poet since writing this! [bodytext] => Shadows

To give my soul
That is not enough
My life to give
That is not enough
The heart yearns
The soul cries
I know you are near
Yet you are so far
Just barelyl out of reach
Years of searching
Years of wandering
Caught in a shadow
Yes I am
Afraid not am I
For I know what you are
For I am the same
Yet different some how
Two worlds spin
Spin inside yet a third
Giving birth to an ancient soul
One hwo only knows pain
And heartache
Yearning for the light
The light of understanding
And the light of fufillment
I stand in the shadow of love
Watching the doors
Of the soul in your eyes
Longing to dream yet again
To share that brief embrace once more
For I now know who I am
I am you
The answer is buried in your gaze
As we become trapped
In the shadow

Shadows

To give my soul

My life to give
That is not enough
The heart yearns
The soul cries
I know you are near
Yet you are so far
Just barelyl out of reach
Years of searching
Years of wandering
Caught in a shadow
Yes I am
Afraid not am I
For I know what you are
For I am the same
Yet different some how
Two worlds spin

Giving birth to an ancient soul
One hwo only knows pain
And heartache
Yearning for the light
The light of understanding
And the light of fufillment
I stand in the shadow of love
Watching the doors
Of the soul in your eyes
Longing to dream yet again
To share that brief embrace once more
For I now know who I am

The answer is buried in your gaze
As we become trapped

I dropped in to return the favor of a read and and found an unremarked on piece ... what a way to make an introduction ... I'm hooked ... as my time this eve is fleeting, I shall return with vigor and explore further !!! My word, do I give on that. To start near the begining ... what a stroke of fortune. I did enjoy this read.
