Listening to every heart

0 posted 2002-01-06 10:56 AM


This comes about from LJA's poem,
a note by Lady Santos,
and my subsequent plea...


I Entreat You, Lady Santos

You think you've not much time
to sit and pen exquisite rhyme
but Lady Santos, hear my plea
if you were to ever think of me...

~*~

In the dark of lonesome night
long after glow's twilight,
come to us with your pen
and speak of ever-then

Give a thought, leave a ponder
let our hearts peacefully wander
over shores and shoals of ever-more
please, come tap upon our door

Join with Sy, our Sailor, 'Deer, too
stir us all poetry's stew
leave your words, with cheese and wine
while you endeavor to entwine

So I may view in small wee hours
soft penned words your heart has scoured
so I might learn at your door
how to write, of ever-more...

I have learned, I sit not alone
o'er your words, their weighty tome
for you have friends, angels, all around
who read your words, are all, spellbound

So think not, Lady Santos, dear
that time is wasted when you are here
for my world has expanded, one by one
as I read what you have done.

My heart fuller, my thoughts run clear
as you write your heart, kept here;
please, give us your circumspect
as we give, our Lady, due respect.

Karilea - This is where this poem belongs, where everybody can appreciate it.  A beautiful tribute to a beautiful person, by another classic beauty.

This is when I wish I had listened to my poetry teacher!  Karilea, your tribute to Elizabeth is without a doubt the most beautiful thing I could think of said about her (except her heart is as big as a football too) LOL.  She enriches my day, and when I talk to her on the phone her soothing voice is as softening and as comforting as her poetry.  Time wasted?  I get up every single morning and head to the blue pages to see what the "Lady Santos" wrote, and without her would there be a "Santos Sonnet"?  I love you both for this, and I am sitting her smiling from ear to ear.  She was the one that started my interest in this site, and will be one of ones to forever hold it here.
