John Rhinem Poet I do not know?

You and Me

**********************************************************************

Turn and turn again atop a shallow bed of rocks; still

Lingering amid the mist these thoughts left dangling

As an autumns flower upon a virgins branch within winters 

Silence waiting; to be awaken afore the frost takes its bite....

Icicles like thorns to pierce the hearts; cold as this may seem

When hopes die and dreams bleed; petals, falling from the sky!?

**********************************************************************

....“You and Me” *

Elizabeth Wesley March 18, 2012 at 12:31 PM Like the dream that hastens away, like the reality that never was that brings the pain that makes us grow. A lingering sadness in this John - so nice to read.

Michele Ortiz January 31, 2012 at 9:07 AM This is how so many relationships are....things left unsaid (thoughts left dangling) become this source of contention and pain (frost takes its bite). I don't know if that's how you meant this but that's what your poem meant to me when I read it. It was really lovely.

Audrey Haick December 3, 2011 at 6:26 PM Ah! Love and pain, so intertwined..always yin and yang, yet, love is all and forever will be, John. Hope my friend is doing fine. Thought about you when I heard of those Santa Anna winds, however, I don't believe your "hood" was affected. Stay cool..Love, Annalise

Elizabeth Wesley October 28, 2011 at 5:47 PM Has that lonely feeling fall brings to the edge of winter John. Great imagination in this.
