Listening to every heart

0 posted 2000-09-05 07:24 PM


What Lies Within

Hidden amongst the slender ink pen's well
are dreams and poems, stories to tell
in the grace of this, the written hand
my fears and insecurities lose command

there is no more a fervent desire
than to cause a fiery, tempestuous fire
O do I so want the passion to feel
that for you, every written word is real

to place my hand atop your chest
and let your heart feel my caress
to touch, to move, your soul, your mind
to share this pathos with all mankind

this fervent desire, this growing glow
is the impetus that drives me so,
O I could write of other things,
but nothing more stirring will then bring

a shy smile to these, my lips, then my face,
that to think these, my words, you embrace,
and if your heart I could ever touch
that's all I would ask, it means so much.

Sunshine,

Wonderful writing.  Straight from the heart . . . love that.

Karilea~
Easy to see why you feel it's special ...
because it is.

There is a slice of a poet's soul here amidst these phrases ...
your soul, dear poet.

Special indeed.

You pen words that touch many hearts, Sunshine...this poem speaks from a lovely heart.
