To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

MARSHA~
It IS Marsha, isn't it ?
Seems someone above has mistaken me for you -
LOL !  
Well, girly ... I'm gonna take that as one heaping compliment ! ! !  

Now ... this is so you ... and lovey ... it's perfect !
We know our MarshaGal~

Love n' hugs for this thought -

'You are the spirit that lifts and ignites my wings
In you my heart has found a whole chorus it sings'

Sing on, sweet poet !
It's soooooooooo good to see you sneaking in here when you can.

I love to nice poetry.

Circe love, thank you so very much love, always you reply, and these days when I can spend so little time in here it's nice to know that I'm not gone and forgotten.
Take care love, and enjoy life
I will be back more I hope this time will cease, and I shall return to my haven
Love and warm stuff

Kari dear heart, thank you so very much, you know that when I get the chance, I will be here at my home. Oh how I want to stay at home, with my sisters, and listening to your words. For that I would sit quietly and drink it in, the Bloomsbury set, hah! the Poetic set, would have the best writers ever.
And yes love, the tea, the oast house and poetry what more could I hope for. Well, maybe some strawberries and cream, but this being Kent, we are swamped by them.
Take care love and warm stuff

Panne, I'm sorry, I've tried that style, and although I can do it, I'm not that keen on it. I don't think it's flow is quite right. I prefer a certain beat in my own writing. This is an example of that style from ages ago and I think I've grown past it

Whispered breath strokes my sensitive ears
Lifting your chest to graze my alabaster breast
Taking mere seconds and lasting for years
Making a torture of this respite of soft rest
Gazing in wonder my love overflows in tears
Your laughter echoes within your teasing chest

Touches that tantalize and hands that tease
You lead and I follow in this lovers kiss chase
The fires of desire lie quiet as we take our ease
My love I know you want to speed up the pace
Your heat translates to me and I whisper please
Flames that were slumbering leap and then race

Desire flares as heat sparks from you to me
Tasting the intoxicating wine in your lovers kiss
I'm drunk on your kisses and who wouldn't be
With flames leaping between us at just a kiss
Is this the reality of loves fire? Loves mystery?
My heart is aflame and it's you that summons bliss

Marsha

As I say I can write in that format, but this was in a format I personally prefer.
Thank you for the considered opinion I do appreciate it.

AD dear heart, always love you are there, thank you so muchly. I'm hoping that things will begin to settle down, I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway.
So if it does happen I shall be able to slip in here a little more often.
Take care love

love and warm stuff

Margie girl, thank you so muchly dear heart. Nooooooo you know Panne mistaking me for you just shows me that he/she doesn't know your work love. You always write sooooooo beautifully, if they knew Margie like I know Margie girl they would know that I'm just a candle to your sun. And I'm not jealous because your beauty is utterly amazing. If you were a lesser person or not so incredible then maybe I would be, but as neither of those conditions applies then no I'm not
Thank you dear heart, for all that you give me.
Love and lots of warm stuff sister of mine

Thank you muchly love
Take care love as always

Take care love as always
