    She is beautiful make no mistake
    Her face and brain framed with softest hair
    Her mouth defines a thirst no one can slake
    Defining love and pain within her stare
    
    For in this woman, beauty's but a part
    And her gracious form but a carriage for
    Her wit and substance and are just a start
    I'm just at her knees where I implore
    
    I fear she, like a comet in the sky
    Shall race away in orbit from my sight
    Leaving me a heart I know would die
    If fear's reality turns to be right
  
    Only time could tell then should she come
    Return to me out of heaven where she's from


Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.

Mr. Yeats!

Who IS this light of love
of which you fondly speak
this light that you
clearly, dearly seek?

How happy you are when you gesture
forth with words of this treasure!

Well done!  Enjoyed!

Ah...I'm sure she love you too, (if not I know a few that would) me friend. Words like these are never unanswered.  Beautiful.

Bill--Could she but fly through heavens gate and change the turn of time and fate
then I'm sure no door could keep her from
the raptured heart that she has won.

Beautifully written expression of love!

and that swlfsame night hides her identity ~G~ Thank you

Someone must have told you -how much I treasure poetic responses - yours is so beautiful it deseves to stand on its own
