My Heart Seeks
By Richard Maxfield
12-17-2000


With pen in hand
I write words of love
To my lady unknown

Pouring my heart
My soul, my life’s blood
Into penned dreams

In dreamless fantasies
We dance through the night
My lips at your neck

We go to secret places
Where we share romance
Love divine

I sleep each night
Pulling my pillow close
Wishing it was you

Waiting for the day
We come face to face
Unite into one spirit

Until that day comes
I see you in my dreams
I feel you in my soul

My love will wait
For the one and only
My heart seeks

Thank you dear lady for your comment. i wish you and i both the best in the search. LOL some time I might have to just go looking again. I hate the singles seen. So many games and lies.
Love and light,
Richard

Even more sighs from me, I really felt the longing in your poem, as I too feel this way about my knight unknown.  You have a great talent to express so much in few lines and few words. The three lined verses were very effective and it flowed very well. This poem read as both a hopeful yet sorrowful piece to me and that's why it touched me on many levels.  I look forward to more poems by you    

Take care,
Melissa

Thank you Melissa for your comments. I do my best to say more with less. it can be hard some times but then if I cut the fluf out and get to what I want to say its not that hard.
Love and light,
Richard

Richard,

When you find her, you must show her this so she can see that all along you were dreaming of her . . . patiently waiting . . . Wonderful writing.
