Love letter

Blue ink on a paper
Words written with care
So well thought out
For that special someone to share

With every stroke you wonder
Glancing as you go
Always thinking as you write
Is this something you’d like to show

Caressing the paper with your pen
As you write each thought that’s on your mind
But your heart has taken over now
For the loving words you’re trying to find

As you release each word at a time
Your heartbeat increases its pace
The pen has now become you
Your lover has taken the paper’s place


No need for thought or wonder
The rhythm of words comes easily
As you stop, smile and sigh
To the words you’ve released so effortlessly

And to the words you’ve just released
You exhale in great pleasure
Knowing it’s your soul you opened
To the one you love
The one you treasure

KitKat~
This is just exquisite thinking.

'The pen has now become you
Your lover has taken the paper’s place'

To caress the page gently with our
thoughts is all a poet can hope to do.
Beautifully done, dear poet.

ESP: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it

Spitfire and Honeybee: Thanks, I feel that just like the most intimate moments love letters are another way of sharing our souls with someone that we love. When we make ourselves the pen and our lover the paper, the words of the feelings that we want to express come out naturally. That's why I also wrote part of it just as if I was describing an intimate moment. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Marge: Yes, I agree with you. When we caress the paper with our thoughts everything seems to flow. Thanks!

You've described this beautifully Kat ... so often the words flow so effortlessly, and we think nothing of it ... thank you for placing a lovely picture in my mind of this gift.

Best wishes,

Kat,

What a wonderful way to describe that creative moment.
One so charged with emotion, when you truly do open up and put try to put your soul into words.

Excellent!

Well the only letter in the alphabet that I can think of as
a love letter is "U"

Kat a wonderful poem, magical and beautiful.

Caressing the paper with your pen
As you write each thought that’s on your mind
But your heart has taken over now
For the loving words you’re trying to find

As you release each word at a time
Your heartbeat increases its pace
The pen has now become you
Your lover has taken the paper’s place

Wolf:  I wrote the pen caressing the paper the way one would caress their lover.  I tried to show the intimacy and love when writing a love letter. Thank-you. I'm thrilled that you found it awesome.

Kit~ Beautiful work!!  A love letter
is my very favorite thing, for even when the
love is gone the letter remains to show that
it was in fact real and not just wasted time.
Thank you for sharing this piece!!

Butterflies:  Thanks. I agree with you, love letters will last a life time and maybe more.  What's written in them is always from your heart and soul. That's why they affect us so much, even years later. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm happy to share it.

this is great, and yep so perfect, when you are "falling" you pen with such care, but when the love flows forth and the trust is there that it will be received as such...the pen moves easy...great writing
