(Years ago a great song: “Be Careful it’s My Heart” was popular – part of the movie “Holiday Inn”.  It was the seed for the poem below)

I stand tall and strong and free
Living as I want to be
You see my skin and think it thick
Not consumed like candle wick

I don’t reveal the heart inside
How fragile when I let outside
And give to you for you to hold
Wondering how I got so bold

So there it’s beating in your hand
Pulsing with a love so grand
How you treat it, yours to decide
Yours alone whate’er betide

Yours with all the trust that’s in me
Begging for what love you’ll give me
Feel its warmth, know I go with it
No longer hiding behind a privet

Your heart I’ve felt within your word
Not daring hope my love be heard
But out I poured the love I feel
Now at your feet I humbly kneel

I trust in fate, I trust in you
Believe that time will prove love true
So take my heart and hold it near
For you’re the one I hold most dear



There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
~Janet Mar

How could she not cherish and love a heart as pure as yours my friend.  This is a wonderful piece once agian from you but coming from the master of love and romance, I would expect nothing less.

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

"Your heart I’ve felt within your word
Not daring hope my love be heard
But out I poured the love I feel
Now at your feet I humbly kneel

I trust in fate, I trust in you
Believe that time will prove love true
So take my heart and hold it near
For you’re the one I hold most dear"

Any more I do not read the others responses before I place mine here...know that I cannot envision you ever begging for one to love you...not when you pour it forth so well...

your lady?  She's one lucky woman...

Karilea-
My forum love must remain anon - to the others  - and I sometimes suspect to herself - (I think she knows). I do not want her subjected to what I think would be unwanted e-mails or rejection etc -
Moreover - My poetry - from my heart - I feel certain she understands my taking poetic liscence.

Startime -
Thank you so much

Will, I hope she handles your heart as preciously as she should.
Great romantic poem.
