Underneath Velvet Skies
we look up to the bright stars
sparkling as clear as diamonds

We gaze up at them
as we lie on the grass
on top of our soft blanket

The night is very peaceful as we listen
quietly to the music from the radio
playing very softly

Ocassionally we hear the fish
jumping in the water, or a
cricket by the river

Then our song comes on the radio
wih the words flowing through
and we again whisper in each other's ear

"Do you know that I love you
as much as the whole world
and back around again"

We get up and sway to the music
slowly dancing under the stars
in the moonlit night by the beautiful river

not meaning any disrespect, but I read your stuff, and I wonder if you are real sometimes...your writings sound like romance novels or fairy tales to me...and I only hope one day that I can write like this from my heart...

but for now, I just don't believe

Oh so romantic... *sighs*

A dream is but a dream, you can wake up.  Reality is ultimate, and those who share it with us are far more important than anything we could remember,

Well, Dixie,
Gary and I are very real....our love for each other
is so real and our feelings so intense that it kind of
scares me sometimes. It's better than anything I've
ever experienced before,in fact, and such a relief from
my hurtful experiences in the past.
.
.
As I've said before, I write about our love so much, because
it's the happiest thing in my life.
.
.
I really hope that you will find a love that is not so
painful very soon, friend.
Oh, and don't ever think you're being disrespectful
to me....you're much too sweet and nice to do that.
Thank you, Lady...

.
.
Hugs from me to you,
Ethel

Oh yes you are a romantic, my dear friend, and this is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!  Some poets write, but some paint with their visions, and put them into words.  You are a painter, and I forever enjoy your canvasses...

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy soul, and let the magik happen!  ~~S~~

(smiles) Oh Ethel, this is lovely, sweet friend, this made me smile as I love velvet blankets and imagining the ocean and moonlight as velvet made me tingle! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, yay, I think this would make a wonderful poetry book submission, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, thank you very much. I had already put another
one in the other forum for submission to the book.
I maybe should have put this one, though, if you think so.
Anyway, I'm glad that you liked it.
