Just to hold her is enough To give her a safe haven from the world To come to when life gets rough Her body next to mine, in my arms curled Her head lays on my shoulder My hand runs through her soft and silky hair Keeping her warm when the nights grow colder Nowhere else I'd be than with her there Her body drifts off to sleep Her last words are a gentle "I Love You" Tonight my love, your soul in mine I keep Until falls the morning dew ---------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, as always the romantic that you are, you've captured again the tender love, romance, beauty, gentleness, caring. Shall I go on?? This is another beautiful piece you've written. *sigh* kat |

What can I say, Sven! Are you stealing this angel's heart on purpose or does it just come naturally?!? Beautiful piece once again!!--You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

I've said it a thousand times before, and I'll say it again, you, my friend, are the king of romance. Casanova's got nothin' on you! You make all of us swoon with your words of love  As always a beautiful poem, making my heart melt. This has my vote, it would be a perfect addition for the book.Hey, I have an idea, can I be your manger? We can start a dating service: "Sven For Hire," you can wine and dine the ladies while reading your romantic poetry to them under the stars, it's ingenius, we'd make millions and of course I'd get 70% being your manager and all  LOLTake care, Melissa Honeybee< !signature--> The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 07-08-2000).] |

Thanks to all of you!!!! I appreciate your taking the time to vote and to comment!!! Melissa, that's a great idea!! But I think that I would probably get tired from reading that poetry over and over again. . . And besides that. . . why do you get 70%???? --------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
