I think you made a spelling mistake Castellanas...should it not be 'bog'. Thank you.

You'd think wouldntja...danke schoen Herr Harris. Like most writers here (well you aren't like most writers here, you certainly do have a style that is all your own. This is a rare commodity. A compliment), you speak another language entirely. Your portfolio is voluminous and quite outstanding. I always, [like someone, more than likely with absolutely good intentions.....;) once said to me here in the Consomme)], always find it helpful to go directly to the first poem written by a "poet" I prefer to call them writers...thus, I have doneth with your good self. While Up and Adrift in Cloud 9, is kind of close to romantic, I guess...the short story "I Wait With Bated Breath" is a corker ...off to decode, I expect days of reading .... and uncovering all kinds of delight and intrigue...and of course anyone with a Bee poem gets a Gold Star in my pages. Ah, the buzzing of bees, I can hear them already.

we too have crossed the eternities if only in the needs of our souls...to perceive the passing world through the eyes of a visitor having come this way many times down many roads across many ages and in doing understanding from afar the frailty of love in its demands and thirst for constant attention for those souls for whom the bell tolls but once

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton

ah, that dreaded BELL raises it`s head up from the deep and churning ocean of one`s mind, it can toll all it flaming likes. Are you going all John Donne? No man nor woman is an island...this is true.

"You, Therefore" — by Reginal Shepherd "You are like me, you will die too, but not today: you, incommensurate, therefore the hours shine: if I say to you “To you I say,” you have not been set to music, or broadcast live on the ghost radio, may never be an oil painting or Old Master’s charcoal sketch: you are a concordance of person, number, voice, and place, strawberries spread through your name as if it were budding shrubs, how you remind me of some spring, the waters as cool and clear (late rain clings to your leaves, shaken by light wind), which is where you occur in grassy moonlight:

and you are a lily, an aster, white trillium or viburnum, by all rights mine, white star in the meadow sky, the snow still arriving from its earthwards journeys, here where there is no snow (I dreamed the snow was you, when there was snow), you are my right, have come to be my night (your body takes on the dimensions of sleep, the shape of sleep becomes you): and you fall from the sky with several flowers, words spill from your mouth in waves, your lips taste like the sea, salt-sweet (trees and seas have flown away, I call it loving you): home is nowhere, therefore you, a kind of dwell and welcome, song after all, and free of any eden we can name."

To A Stranger — by Walt Whitman/ "PASSING stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you, You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me, as of a dream,) I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you, All is recall’d as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured, You grew up with me, were a boy with me, or a girl with me, I ate with you, and slept with you–your body has become not yours only, nor left my body mine only, You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we pass–you take of my beard, breast, hands, in return, I am not to speak to you–I am to think of you when I sit alone, or wake at night alone, I am to wait–I do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you."

like mist, in the tender realms, we wander searching for warm elusive bonding, connecting with faint memories of another time another place, recognizing each drifting scent from a fragrance that drips like sweat from love's petals from a yesterday forgotten and yet lingers in the shaded spaces where we find comfort in a touch, or look...a small gesture seen before, the hint of a smile after a pause...a knowing of having been...to welcome a face seen in the dreams of lifetimes where souls pass

A beautiful and heartfelt articulation of what it is to sense our soulmate as if in a dream, through familiarities of touch, vision, sensing/Déjà Vu with another soul. I think in our lifetime within this earthly plane, there are different types of soulmates for all of us. Some we collide with and spend time with, only to be given some poignant, unforgettable and valuable lesson to learn through love (in whatever form)...some lessons are incredibly painful and life altering, but this is the only way to grow and move forward in one's journey of karma, only then perhaps, one can be assured of moving through the lesson to meet the one soul who is to bring us true love and completion, perhaps in this life, perhaps in another. Thank you for your take on it all Monsieur Parker, you have restored my faith in the True Romantics that write amongst us today....you sir, are a True Romantic, very lucky is your soul mate.

“Soulmates tend to find each other during their respective pursuits of their soul missions. Creating a soulmate could be seen as a spiritual reward that we give ourselves, after pursuing many soul contracts rife with discord.” Linda Brady

She needed a Soul Mate...to share that bed with or stay out of it....might have been better for her, the fresh air and all ....D.H.

“Love is merely a madness; and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do; and the reason why they are not so punish'd and cured is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too.” William Shakespeare, As You Like It
