An End and Beginning

With the dying light gone, and the new light on; the switch is turned and the wrench begins. The silent, silence of looks and smiles, another year of fear compiles; removed by one whose touch ignites, the softness of my heart - its buried light. Please me, or please me not, with hour glass for our's not; no fake required, no fake to be; break over me softly - a plea, I plea.

Hi there, Many thanks for the warm welcome! Have taken much delight in reading some of your work. Very good indeed! Me? Well, East Midlands, England... if you knew the area you'd know what to expect ;) If you don't, well, it's sorta like North meets South - so, somewhere in-between. Not really shared much of what I write before. Normally a kind of personal thing, really, and don't care whether it's any good or not but, thought I may as well share one or two things and read some of the other excellent stuff here.
