Let me hear it
Once more--
The tunes bring me
The strangest inspiration.
Allow me to sit
Under that spell again--
My heart can't get enough.
In passing, we smile;
In conversation, we thrive.
It's just not enough!
I want to know more
Of what you live for.
I need to determine
The essence of your heartbeats.
Tell me, Baby,
What is most important
To you?
What do you think of
To get you through
When the mornings
Disguise themselves
As the night?
My heart beats
For these answers;
I breathe each breath
To figure it out.
Tell me, Baby,
Where does your heart lie?


Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier

Snowpants,
The sound of your heartbeat is a reflection of the answer you want to hear. Do not push too hard for an answer though, it is best to let time take its course. Enjoyed reading this wonderful write.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

SnowPants~
We should always strive to know someone well enough
to know where their sighs come from ~

You've posed the questions in a wonderful manner.
Enjoyed the read.

Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe
