I tried hard to make her fear me Shouted warnings loud and clear To be certain she could hear me Every time that she came near. Then I tried to make her tremble With profound anxiety So her mind would disassemble Anythoughts of loving me. She just smiled at my chest-beating Silenced protest with her hand, Kissed my cheek and kept repeating “There’s no need…. I understand.” Now I’m lost within the splendor That surrounds me everywhere As I let my heart surrender To the girl I couldn’t scare. |

’Deer dearest heart this is utterly amazingly well written, you know for certain that I absolutely adore this. No one paints word pictures with your consummate skill, nobody does it like you. I love the way you layer the scene, build it into a masterpiece, truly exquisite darling boy. You know I’m going to say I love this utterly don’t you? And of course you know I’m smiling brightly    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

"...As I let my heart surrender To the girl I couldn’t scare..." Beautiful & Compelling; I found a sense of humor in this, which enabled me to see it for what it was...A masterpiece in the shortest terms, & most convenient definitions! ~Rayne For in much wisdom is much grief |

When a heart is warm and caring, It cannot be hidden 'Deer, Yours was never meant for scaring, For, my friend, it's too sincere. This was beautiful Michael. It's nice to know that sometimes people do see through to the heart and take a chance. This left me with a big  much enjoyed sweet poet. Best wishes and hugs  /Kit |

’Deer Hi there yet again your writing fills me with awe, it’s incredibly well written and so picturesque. You certainly have an incredible talent for sprinkling these blue pages with diamonds and star-studded delights. You see I’m spending way too much time with my mother I’m beginning to sound like her now, this really is something special and I love it too.  Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |
