Asleep
I dream of her
Praying she will be there
Laying in wait for my presence
Just her

Sweet notes
Music of love
Love's melody playing
A classic concerto for two
Us two

Dreaming
Rematch for us
Wonder if there'll be one
Praying I'll hear her speaking my name
A call

I once
Was my own man
Control: I have lost it
All that I am is her. My Mind
I've lost

Bravo Wilfred! What a beautiful read ... perfection ... with such wonderful thoughts of falling helplessly and happily out of control. Excellent writing!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

Leading with the heart instead of the mind is a GOOD thing...no second guessing and no
disecting it...just live it...show it...love it...love her...

Writing
he speaks his heart
listen to it sing now
messages of love song's sweet tease
call him

Beautifully done too!

Karilea -

I feel certain the love I'm feeling - you will feel - and may even remember feeling - - It is the source of my inspiration and my words. Thank you

I used to fight the feeling.  Now, much like you have written, I am unable and unwilling to fight it any longer.  Surrendered to love and am all the better for it!
Just a wonderful poem, Wilfred.
Directly to the soul...

Trew-

you got it right - best way to go -win or lose - the feelings are so much more intense.
what you pay if you lose is always outweighed by what you have while you're winning Thanks
