She watched,
where only eyes could touch
Reaching out to feel with emotions
Would be too much

Her heart couldn’t take
The sentimental overflow
She wasn’t ready to learn
Didn’t want to know

He would be the one
To stir her heart awake
His would be the kind of longing
A deeper kind of ache

The one she could never
Have too much of
The man, she knew
She would always love


~SEA~



watching, her
from across the way
to night’s music
gentle sway

her eyes lingered
then abated too soon
now seemingly lost
to view the moon

he wondered if he just imagined
to hear her heart say
if only you’d ask
I’d answer, ‘you may’

So courage he mustered
Let his heart take a chance
With nervous voice he asked her,
May I have this dance?


~SEA~

Can so relate to this...last verse left me hoping for a sequel.  Love the title, Susan!

I watched the story of Audrey Hepburn last night and a lot of leading men wanted that first dance...too bad she is gone now, she had a wonderful mind!
I have a poem called Safari Circus on the bottom of page two you might like to read, it also deals with a pertinent issue.

(big hugggssssssss) Soooooo sad but gorgeous, sweet Susan, it too can feel so sad to see these dances as an imagination of love when you wish for the real thing in heartache. (sad sigh) I long to be with my love, and I feel I'm dancing with her always! (kiss on cheek) You always write so beautifully, sweet friend, you always light these pages with your loving heart! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Susan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Would be too much
===================================
He would be the one
To stir her heart awake
His would be the kind of longing
A deeper kind of ache

The one she could never
Have too much of

The man, she knew
She would always love
===========================

ahhh yes..the unending ache...the ache of again...the 3 am ache ....
some things just hurt so good
very cool write Sea...like the poetic set here. 2 aches for the price of one *S*

You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do.
Thats the way love is ... sky blue and black.

A very interesting concept, the posting of 2 interconnecting poems with the painting separating, yet connecting them with the appropriate imagery for the setting. Very good.

The first two lines of the first part captures the reader's attention IMO. I enjoyed reading this.

Susan - Do you women really think these things?  I had no idea all I had to do was to ask for a dance.  I always thought you gals were thinking...a response is needed here...

This is beautiful SEA. It takes courage to ask for that first hearts dance, but is so well worth the gamble. I love the way you’ve written this. I too am wondering if there will be a sequel

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Sea - I could envision the eyes connecting across the room before he could muster the courage to ask her to dance.  The first stanza was definitely great, really pulled the reader in.

This brings back memories and emotions from a while back....a long while back.  First dance...first kiss....first love...first time.
