How shall I love thee? With words fair to the open ear, And printed on paper yellowing Words from my pen you wanted to hear, With a fire that soon will be mellowing Ink dries, falters, and fades In ever lightening shades Or should I love thee, With deeds grand, tangible to touch And actions, such can be measured, Done in name of love mean so much And more to the eyes, a pleasure Actions define the latent lover Yet surpassed by always another I think I should love thee, With thoughts from my eternal mind And brave whatever comes this way, For as long as I can think, love will never die It is the only lasting card I have to play, For thoughts are to words, the seed, And drive the temporal deed |

d, Thanks! Marina, Thanks, that is so nice of you. If you like this, then yes, these come to me in minutes, and if i dont write it down, they fade away. But they come more infrequently, which is ok with me. Thanks again. Wow Corinne. I was hoping just for ok. It was just a little idea i had. Thanks.
