Chapter and Verse Borrowed words Overdue loans On faded words Tears melting ink Wisdom's die Collection time Bankrupt soul With no words to share Overdue books Wine splashes the pages Of my mind Melancholy whispers to me Here, here The past sings me a song Withered books Our collective memories Buried in the pages of history Sad Chapters I danced I drank Love and wine Penelope Sosa Stole heart and mind Debts paid Her beauty refined Lonely betrayal I dine on sad chapters As wine still splashes the page The last Verse Mathematical potions Equations that dream A soft kiss lade upon my sleeping heart Is it you? Is it you that lightens my soul? Spread your wings for me I shall smell the sweet scent Of your poetic juices As we lay entwined Inside the last verse

deep and sad imagery Arthur but when combined with the other poem it is totally transformed - my friend you are a genius! I really love the final stanza. Hugs jan xxx
