I didn’t know you as a child We’ve both our maturity achieved Unknown to one another It makes me sad and grieved You didn’t know me as a callow youth Saw through the crassness of my testosterone Never had the opportunity To realize the man I would become So – beyond the chance to share a beach Climb a rocky crag to pristine lake Follow colored canyons deep How the landscape God did make Where we might hug the silence Breath nature’s scents and air so clear Watch life-mated geese living in peace Or feel the serenity of deer I want with you the intimacy To share the deepest thoughts The dreams unrealized and met See how life wrought what’s wrought To spend our days while life is ours Exploring pains and joys Those we’ve met and those we’ve passed Our crosses and our toys Yet I want more, hope you do too To kneed the grief, caress the face Matured by life’s transgressions Learn how you achieved such grace In golden stream of deep twilight Closing twilight’s end of day The pleasures of the coming night At time’s end I want to say I want to be with you. 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 |

I would rather a man who has already sowed his oats than one I'd have to train. If I wasn't already taken your kind is what I'd want. |

Mr. Yeats, so glad to see you come back to us in fine measure...this is a keeper...I have finally figured it out...for each annex I add on to my library, they are going to have to be named for the Poets... Yes, this is wonderful! Well done Sir! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

*sigh* this is a very lucky lady you write of love to. You offer mature love filled with mutual sharing. To share what has been learned through living life and moving on with lessons learned. *sigh* this is real love that you offer from your heart. I hope she hears your plea and gives love back in kind. *sigh* this is a truly beautiful poem. Much love to you from me. http://www.geocities.com/karenltorbiak/index.html |

I want with you the intimacy To share the deepest thoughts The dreams unrealized and met See how life wrought what’s wrought To spend our days while life is ours Exploring pains and joys Those we’ve met and those we’ve passed Our crosses and our toys Yet I want more, hope you do too To kneed the grief, caress the face Matured by life’s transgressions Learn how you achieved such grace In golden stream of deep twilight Closing twilight’s end of day The pleasures of the coming night At time’s end I want to say =============== big ole sigh here Will ... my oh my what a sweet read... with age comes the beauty of wisdom and grace. this is lovely and sincere ... hope your feeling better sweet sir ... you've been missed later-seasoned heart strings-gator jm Some people find subtlety in strangers if you find anything~let me in Your eyes~you see everything my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know |
