i wanted merely
to see you smile--
to see the light
of your smile
     in your eyes
and to find some
     portal there
to the deeper soul of you

i wanted just
to hear your voice
     your laughter
     each sigh
in the air that
would encircle us

i wanted to
experience
each expression
of your face...

i wanted just
     to be with you
for a moment--
or a few hours
     to know
     who you are...

i wanted only
     to touch your hand
in passing

(smiles) This is soooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, the magic of a smile is always contagious and spreads joy to others! (kiss on cheek) Every time I look at your smile in your picture, you always make me smile just as your words do! We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh my this sounds so simple,
just for the moment to realize the trangible touch.

Enjoyed your expression and the yearning.

OMG, you posted this! I'm blushing red and feeling guilty all at the same time! (lol)
This poem is so sweet and the words beautifully combine yearning with tender emotions. OK, now I really feel silly for not having met you in person when I had the chance D'oh!
                  Well done! - Jeff

gale,

don't scream at me but when i read this the first time, i took it to mean a demanding, perhaps possessive personna  who is filled with remorse when his/her lover decides enough is enough and walks out of his/her life...
