on the horizon of a fairytale

For a very special friend, I love you

I have breathed your words
from the paper to deep within my heart
Words that have conditioned my passions,
my desires, the way I view love…and life

Words that have cradled me back to sleep
when awakened by tears
Words that cast a warm glow of sunlight
on cold damp mornings

If the world could know your heart, your soul,
it would be a world of eight wonders, a world
of love and passion beyond measure, beyond reproach
and yet still, a world ever in need of your words.

May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat...

I agree beautifully written.

AWhispersCaress~
This is so pretty.
Poets reach us in many ways -
we are all fortunate to have a friend like this, I think.

Beautiful sentiments.

The lover's heart
transcends all
or at least that
is what I see

misunderstanding
the concept of breathing
my friend provides the
insipre, respire definition

But he says
means more than that
a new thing to learn
and you have placed me on track

Your Servant
