You say my name and
it sounds sweeter
then it is.

You touch me
and I want to cry
with an emotion
I don't know how to
tell you about.

So what if I
can't see your face
at night...
I always see it
in my dreams.

How can I tell
you I love you
when I don't know
if I really do.

What is love,
anyway...
besides a confusing
emotion I hate
and can't get rid of
because I really
don't want to.

You danced with me
once...
And I fell.
You arms around me
leading the steps
continue to hold
me up...
And I do think
I love you for it.



"In sleep he sang to me...in dreams he came...that voice which calls to me, and speaks my name..."

angel..this is beautiful..absolutely puts me there...  

love is something we all want..need...but its so frightening..
however...worth all the risk

Nothing keeps us guessing like love. Very good way of describing that confusion.

"You say my name and it sounds
sweeter than it is."
Yes this is true...also true that caring for some one can give us a magic carpet ride or a ride into hell...we must carefully connect to the right one if we want to experience love...in most cases only a friendship would be a better choice...James

AngelOfMusic,

   Welcome to Passions   
   With that out of the way.. I liked this poem   Love can be alot of things.. simple, complicated, easy, hard... but confusing sums it up quite nicely..hehe.

"You say my name, and make it sound sweeter than it is."

    I just love that line.  I am envious of that line..hehehe I wish I would have thought of it.

Angel,

Ah, the age old question, "What is love anyway?"  Nicely done.  Welcome to Passions.
I like how you ended:

You danced with me once...
  And I fell.
Your arms around me
leading the steps
continue to hold me up...
  And I do think
I love you for it.

You have put the tangle of love's emotions into nicely expressed words.

I enjoyed reading...

*sigh* sometimes that is all it takes is one dance. Love is confusing and very wonderful. Something all of us dream of having in our lives. Thank you so much for this wonderful read. Much love to you from me.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com

Love fills us with many mixed emotions, but it's worth the risk.
What is a world with no love? Empty.
Good poem from you.

Wow...thanks so much everyone, I really never expected to get so many replies. It's overwhelming, especially for a poem that isn't even that good. I appreciate it so much, I love Passions!

Welcome to Passions, every poem from the heart is good, and they only get better, as you read and continue to write!  I hope you love it here

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

James-Remember that song by Garth Brooks-
"I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss love's dance?"
Just remember that-

Anyways,
I LOVED this poem- dancing can be so gentle at times and set up the perfect atmosphere...

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.
