~*Dedicated to Sven*~



You Are

Across the universe you take me
over the bridge of breathtaking
and into the sea of your soul
through the deep, unending cleanse of your waves,
your words tango across my tongue,
I taste the rhythm of your fantasies
and freefall with the ink spill from your unmatched quill,
yes, take a bow, great one, and smile for your applause...
painter of love, breath of beauty, magician of imagery,
you are all these and so much more that even I fail to give birth to,
friend, you are beautiful,
you are poetry,
you mirror reverie
across the lavender lace fields of tranquility
and I am set free
from just one kiss of your heart,
friend, poet, you touch me
and my eyes open to infinity

*sigh*  
You, Lady, are the Queen of words like this! These are beautifully done for a wonderful man. The more people who realize what a gift he is, the better.  
Lovely!

Melissa, sweet wondrous poet, What an incredible tribute to Sven! So often we say such tnings after friends are gone from us, how wonderful to hear them and realize what a gift we are to others!  Love and Hugs, Ellie

You write beautifully from the images of your heart it seems. This is an excellent dedication to who I am sure is a good man.

Love has many masks. I am but one of them.
