...Written long ago and posting as an opposite to "When A Woman Loves" by A Whisper's Caress...




When A Man Loves

When a man loves,
you can see it in her eyes,
softly glistening, starry skies,
loving all at which she looks;
hear it in her breathy sighs,
when she thinks of him;
feel the fiery heat of silky skin,
where her hand touches your arm,
know it in the way she walks,
talks, laughs, and
when she thinks no one can see,
smiles that inner smile
meant just for him.
When a man loves,
his  woman glows,
a fiery, golden, pulsing light,
softly tempered
when new life conceives.


w. james beard, jr.

What an intriguing perspective...recognizing a man's love through the eyes and actions of his woman. Very excellent work, sir

JW this is sooooo romantic and lovely...
and you have captured well the inner contentment felt when we know we are loved.
wonderful writing in this sincere piece.

who loves me with the innocence of a child.

J.,
absolutely beautiful!!!!
Very nicely partnered with "When A Woman Loves"


Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul.

Thank you all my friends, love IS! And all else tags along.  

And AWC, never even thought about this until I read WHEN A WOMAN LOVES, and then I said, wow, a marriage in the making! Thanks.

This is the kind of love poem I needed to perk up this dreary November Tuesday. I love how this one flows. I agree with ladycat, it would fit in well at Digital Passions. Keep up the great work!

Ladycat & Lovebug...I am humbled that you would want it and am honored by all the wonderful comments on it as I've never considered it one of my better ones. Thank you for asking. Yes, you may.
