I want to rest in the arms of love, Not the clutches of conditional passion, But the eternal harbor of unadulterated affection. I need to know my worth, Not the occasional compliments of nonchalance, But the confidence of genuine friendship. I long to be moved by ecstasy, Not by the momentary heat of a night’s temptation, But by a lifetime of exclusive stimulation. This heart needs true warmth, Not the passing gestures of acquaintance, But the sincere grace of complete devotion. I need a heart to hear me, Not the indifferent nods of disinterest, But the authenticity of unfeigned compassion. I just want to be here now, Not neither here nor there, But here, in this very minute of indigence. -kh 01/01 I won't go; I won't sleep; I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

You speak for many with these words...nicely expressed and penned. Enjoyed the read. Poeminister "At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet." -Plato [This message has been edited by Poeminister (edited 01-15-2001).] |

SP, It's as though you are sitting inside my brain, taking notes. I guess that's what good poetry is supposed to do: convert thought and emotion into intricately crafted words. This is really well-done, and deserves a trip back to the top... |

Everyone needs to be look at in their completeness instead of just a passing of a moment of touch without feeling. Very wonderful words from you my friend. I think we can all agree with you on this one. If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |

Must of us would agree that we need someone to be there in body and in spirit. The spirit part is the hard part to get. And even if you get,it can easily dissipate. God,love its too much work! Well expressed, snowpants! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |
