When I am weak When weariness pleads I accept defeat And I feel incompetent, Incomplete Your love lets me lean Lending me strength When I hunger When gnaw becomes ache And I feel I will break Before my next breath, Your love’s a buffet Inviting me to feast When I thirst When doubt drains me dry And an oasis Is beyond imagination, Your love is a fountain Restoring my life When I despair When wails fade to whimper And darkness invades Creating a tomb Your love is a ladder Leading into the light |

DearDearLadySuthern~ 'When I thirst When doubt drains me dry And an oasis Is beyond imagination, Your love is a fountain Restoring my life' Ah, I have known that thirst ... and have welcomed a sip from the fountain~ SOOOO good to see you, sweetie~  This is BEAUTIFUL !!! *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Oh, Belle, this incredibly romantic poem perfectly illustrates the depth of love that you have both given and received. ~ and deservedly so, my dear southern friend. God bless you, Sweetie, Linda |

Gosh...isn't it just wonderful!!! Love is like nothing else, and those inbetween have to remember that and that it does come again, just as many times as needed, if only we let it. Enjoyed this... jimmy |

This is exquisite Ruth! The format is wonderful - I love how you carried the same style and type of phrasing through each verse, and yet, each held such a different significance. Loved this ... really well done!  Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

Marge: Your friendship love has restored many a dessicated heart, too, dear friend. *S* Thank you!! nakdthoughts: It's night and day... death and life. *S* Thank you so much! James Michael: Thank you, thank you, thank you! *S* I appreciate that! *S* Larry C: Definitely that... darn it! *S* The world could sure use more like him... and like you, my friend. *S* Thank you!!! Seymour: Thank you so much, dear friend. *S* iliana: It's been a while since I've been in here much. *S* Thank you for including me on your return... and for the hugs!!! *S* LeeJ: It's good to be here. *S* Thank you so very much! *S* EA: The giving is easy, the receiving... pure heaven... it's the KEEPING that eludes me. *G* Thank you very much!! *S* dgvarner: Thank you so much... I'm glad you liked! *S* 1slick lady: To see your name on my work is truly an honor... thank you so much! *S* jwesley: It's hard to keep that reminder in focus... but yes... it does come again... better than ever before. *S* Thank you so much! *S* Kit: Thank you so much!!! *S* I can't help but laugh, though... at myself. *G* For it took Cpat and Ratleader some serious efforts to get me to consider something finished before it rhymed. You have them to thank (or curse) for me learning to leave lines alone! LOL Lady: To the bone... and for a lifetime. *S* Thank you so very much!!! PS: Thank you, dear lady... I've missed you... missed being here. And as for still feeling this way... I understand. Some loves become part of us... it may be "over"... but it's never gone. |

Yes, it is a wonderful feeling when we have another person to hold us, console us and help us through our more difficult moments. |

Is this the old tradition where women being the fairer sex always rely on the bloke... I quite like the Stevie Nicks idea where it sort of works both ways ie Is love so fragile... And the heart so hollow Shatter with words... Impossible to follow You're saying I'm fragile...i try not to be I search only...for something I cant see I have my own life...and I am stronger Than you know But I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you wont be walking out the door Still I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you wont be walking out the door Lovers forever...face to face My city, your mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather... Take from me...my lace You in the moonlight With your sleepy eyes Could you ever love a man like me And you were right When I walked into your house I knew Id never want to leave Sometimes I'm a strong man Sometimes cold and scared And sometimes I cry But that time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow Id get by First time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow I would get by Lovers forever...face to face My city, your mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me...my lace Lovers forever...face to face My city ,you mountains...stay with me stay I need you to love me...i need you to stay Give to me your leather Take from me...my lace Take from me...my lace Take from me...my lace Eric Lance Davies |

Drauntz: Thank you so very much! *S* JamesMichael: I appreciate each and every person who takes the time to read and respond... when someone comes back for another round, I am so honored... Thank you! Magnus: Indeed it is, my friend... bleak are those days we must face all alone. *S* Thank you so very much!! Fairplay: Absolutely not... neither one should have to be the strong one all the time. *S* If a relationship is that one-sided, it's not much of a relationship. *S* Hopefully, anyone that means that much to me would get as much from my love as he gives with his. *S* Thank you for reading! |
