(I can't rhymne very well so this is about half/half)


Once I left Memphis,
flew out in a rage
just can't seem to fit those
feelings on a page
Once, I left New Orleans,
Mardis Gras was done,
she was crying for me, but
I couldn't be the one.
I walked along Miami Beach
the sun was going down
but I knew it was over
and I quickly left that town.
Then I drove to Dallas, and entered a cafe
just a cup of coffee, nothing left to say.
But once I looked up at her smile
I nearly fell apart
this woman took my order
but then she stole my heart.
I tried to leave, to just move on
I'd done it all the time
but God, her body and her words
I had to make her mine.
I sat transfixed
like in a dream
I'd finally met someone who
I could not just "walk away"
now, how will she believe me
cause I don't even believe myself.
It's real and full of meaning
tell me I'm not dreaming
How can I convince her that it's real?
Maybe it's too late for me
I've used too many lines.
but maybe, if I stick around
I'll get it right this time.
She's worth the time, she's
everything
I never thought existed.
But she does, she's here
and I cannot resist.
She's worth the risk to me.

This is wonderul, and I could relate very personally. *smiling as I remember*

Funny, how one person can remove cynicism and make ya feel brand new!

Nice write...I enjoyed this.

The proof of her value to you is in your words. Share this poem with her and then show her every chance you get that you are sincere. *grin* Great poem filled with wonderful feelings of being in love. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

I enjoyed your poem very much. I thought your rhyming technique was good for the most part, although towards the end you seemed to lose the rhyming. The thought behind your words was very sweet. Cheryl
