Nowhere or Now Here Karen?
Tender heart hark the ciphers that start skeins true,
Eel-like skin is freely united link refined.
None names rescan, - no need since star none find.
Deeds flower here, deeds flower heard on cue.
Archer love call! Man needs see fair face - you?
Nowhere shrine is named, rich rank find. [Design
Is felt, is hid deep inside, is laid behind
Covers, is meshed, scored, kissed. Here count words few.]
Eyes truth see, hopes share, where lines are knit too.
His pen is wet, - read heaven's clear wish marked, signed.
End dark fear. Her deep dream our healed hearts bind
As new. Sweet madam announce clear – [a]part won't do!
Renaissance near, revealing wonder real
Takes heart, I draw the blinds and truth unreel!
Amour
Nowhere Now here
Karen 11 times
Tend a nice heart 3 times vertical
His hand her hand twice vertical
Tender is her heart 4 times diagonal

Dream our - Amour
Tender heart hark the ciphers that start skeins true,
Eel-like skin is freely united link refined.
None names rescan, - no need since star none find.
Deeds flower here, deeds flower here on cue.
Archer love call! Man needs see fair face - you?
Nowhere shrine is named, rich line find. [Design
Is felt, is hid deep inside, is laid behind
Covers, is meshed, scored, kissed. Here count words few.]
Eyes truth see, hopes share, where lines are knit too.
His pen is wet, - read heaven's clear wish here signed.
End dark fear. Her deep dream our healed hearts bind
As new. Sweet madam announce clear – [a]part won't do!
Rewards seem near, reveal her wonder real!
To swift withdraw the blinds and truth unreel!
