I’m willing to admit
that I love you
but I refuse to disclose to what degree
and I’ll never utter
never mutter
that I need you
desperately

~*~

I’m willing to concede
that this heart of mine does in fact
belong to only you
but I am not inclined to ever define
Or otherwise divulge
That your every want
I would gladly indulge

~*~

I’m willing to expose
I’m weak- I’m hopeless
and softly whisper, yes it’s true
I could no more stop the waves in the ocean
than stop my heart
from loving you

~*~

Lovely.  Glad that I just happened to be here when you posted this.  So much for slaying SnowQueens in the Kingdom of Loathing.  I'll just hang out and wait for more of your poetry.

Guarded yet totally devoted.  It all shows in the in end and in the actions.   I particularly liked the ending ...

SEA - what a great romantic write, yet hidden feelings, and held back caring. You are a great writer of romance. Love the graphic with it, very soft and touching...

You are writing up a storm lately! Love the tug of war between heart and mind in this one.
Boy, can I relate. *grin*

Oh Susan, this is just beautiful.  I always preferred to at least keep one card out of my deck too.

A new love poem by you, dear Sue, was highly overdue, I would say. And here you are with a most beautiful and inspired work, that flows gracefully down the page.

Love,
Margherita

Sue,  This is the best yet.  I understand where you are coming from.  

The picture is also beautiful..  I can see you there looking out with wonderment in you eyes, and love in your heart.

You are a very special woman, and very tallented.

Love always,  Tracey

Susan, I LOVE your romantic poems. They
always touch my heart and seem to apply
to my feelings, also.

So good to read you again.
Hugs,
Ethel
