A Place Close To My Heart

Old night time brings me nearer
To the one I love so well
And twinkling stars and moon beams
Never get a chance to tell
And although we are far apart
Your face I almost see
For stars that take your message
Are smiling back at me
There is comfort just in longing
For a smile from your dear face
And joy in just remembering
Each sweet fond embrace
There is happiness in knowing
That my heart will always be
A place where I can hold you
And keep you near to me

Perfect and beautiful, just as the other that I read enclosed with your letter. When I read this, it takes me many places in my heart soul and mind which is a nice little vacation while it lasts. (smile) You write beautifully and so much of your poetry amazes me, mainly because it manages to SPEAK to me which rarely does any other poetry people write manage to do. Ive never been able to respond to others poems, and I do mean never. I could write them, but I couldnt FEEL the ones coming from other writers even in school. I guess I also love how you can take a simple THOUGHT, and turn it into several lovely defined ways of describing that thought until finally it makes sense on more than just one level to the person reading it. whether they relate to it or not, its there and its deep. Much love, always! -CC

Did you ever know you were capable of such great writing before you were locked up? Often times we dont know what we are capable of until the odds are against us and we are facing hardship and the best of us appears. (smile) Thank you for sharing the beauty. -CC
