Forever More……Lizzy    (the DeVine Challenge)

My Dearest Lord Bryon,
yes, it is me again, Liz
when I caress the pages
you held
(I whisper)
my heart flows from
the ink of his
I rush to write you
a few words of my own
but the silence is broken
by a loud beating tone
you leave me so breathless
I almost feel faint
to you my emotions and words
can find no restraint
I am a lady and should not speak
in this course
but when I read you
breath is labored and forced
you speak in tones
so tender and sweet
I rush to read you
beginning to end complete
I finish this letter
and send it quickly to you
Lord Bryon, Lord Byron
I do adore you too


                           Forever more, Lizzy

Good for you...I once said that I should have loved a poet safely in his grave!

I tried to reply earlier but was in a.o.HELL...and it bumped me, but wanted to say, sincerely, that I love your style, the way your words float down the page, seemingly in fragments, only to fit together so perfectly at the end.

You grow in your words! Love it.

Magnificent and a poem that will touch his heart. A lady you are and your words flow with the perfection only a true lady could give them. **hugs**

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