Sitting here crying Thinking of you So far away Making me blue Wanting to hold you And feel your heart beat Whispering softly My heart on my sleeve I look into your eyes And I can see love there You pull me closer To tell me you care Breathing my name On whispered sigh Heart skips a beat Passion so high The rest of the world Just vanished from sight Knowing this love Can only be right Awakened from dream Lonely again Placing my heart In the palm of your hand I've never felt This feeling before Wanting to hold you For evermore List'ning to sad song Of a mourning dove Sending me visions Of unrequitted love I long to hold you Ever so tight Make sweet love to you All through the night I say a prayer As I whisper your name A simple wish That you feel the same *********************** Goddddd, Ain't love grand?

Yearning to hold is a powerful emotion that I know all to well. I hope that all of your dreams do come true Mr. Carter. Just know this...a heart that is true can over come any obsticle and any pain. Good luck. When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face... William Butler Yeats |

Jeffrey, This was so soft, tender, and romantic my friend. I hope she likes it and hears the message behind it. **SIGH** Wonderful writing!! Jenn Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Love can be grand indeed. This so tender so open with your emotions. All I can say is your "inspiration" who ever it may be is very lucky indeed. Warm smiles to you. Jenn E |

A true poet. (sigh) Wish I could put magic into words like that. I'm sure she's reading this now and smiling quietly to herself while a tremble incircles her heart. She's very lucky indeed. Kay-lynn **A dream is a wish your heart makes :) |

Jeff-- This is stunning my friend! I have really missed reading your work. I see you haven't lost your touch  A lucky woman she is indeed. Hold onto the love! Take care. Amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |
