Yes, I know I missed the boat.
Why, oh my...such a question.
Seems just not enough moments
Not enough time to just admit.
Admit that I do, do very much.

Me?  You mean me?  This man?
That, no matter the reason, you do.
That, in spite of my silence, you will.
That I am, and you are?

I ask you why?  Why me?  What is it?
Surely....I have been mistaken to be..
To be another, one more passionate.
One more understanding, more gentle.

I am?  Oh my....Why didn’t I know?
You have been telling me all along.
And my ears, closed to the song you sing.
Ears deafened by anger, by self doubt.

Do you know?  Know how I feel when...?
When you say those words to me.
When you whisper softly “I love you...”
When our bed is warmed by your smile.

Will you?  Will you hold me when I need?
Will you give me passion when I thirst?
Will you never take me for granted?
I want this, need this, so very very much..

I will....Yes...I will...and you know...I will.
I will darken our door each day, good or bad.
I will whisper “I love you, I care for you.”
I will always keep you here...deep within.
I will try to say...always say...what you mean..
to me....

(sigh) So many questions fill your wonderful words, sweet friend, may all of them be answered by the joy of true love and trust your heart feels! (big hugggsssss) Love can be so questionable, but as long as you can say how you feel to someone, true comfort will always be there! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is another wonderful addition to your wonderful poetic library! I LOVE IT!!! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Dear Magnus, Were you pacing back and forth while writing this? I can feel the inner need in this piece.....to be heard..really heard. Good one. Chris

Barry....What is it about you?
Lets see......You are a warm hug
You are an old flannel shirt and a worn out pair of slippers.
You.....are a very comfortable poet.
Is that who you are?

I liked this one!
