Between a laugh and a tear...

I Love You
Just words, that's all
Three small words
But they hold such power
Evoke such emotion, such feeling
Passions that cannot be denied
For these few words, men willingly die
Wars have been waged, great feats performed
Some dreams shattered, and yet others born
But why? Where does it come from?
This intense power and passion
That binds us so completely
It takes hold, body and soul
Envelops and consumes us
This fire in our soul,
Raging out of control

Wow, this is an amazing poem penned by you Eagleone!  I have often wondered the same thing, but could never have put my feelings or thoughts into a poem the way that you have. It's true love is a powerful force, it has reasons that even the heart and reasons itself cannot understand.  I loved this one!  I wonder why no one else has discovered this poem yet. I look forward to more poetry by you.

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

EagleOne~
'Just Words' to take us to a
higher plane, enveloped for sure.
A very nice piece of thought.
I like the shape of it too.

"Just Words" yes they evoke such amazing things when they are REAL, it's when the lips say them and the heart does't that it hurts.  You write with grace and style as always with the powerful message that you evoke so well.  Wonderfully written and your format was excellent!!

for you ohhhhhh winged one  


 Hold me for yesterday
Kiss me for tomorrow
But love me for today.

Marge...Thankyou, your comments are indeed valued.  

Butterfly....What do I say, you continue to make me blush with such undeserved praise. I thank you.
