~*~ I lay bare my soul before thee, In all humility and without pretense. Mine eyes behold none other Than ye who claimeth to love me so. Pride goeth before a fall And I am falling into a pool Of bottomless devotion. I shall be yours alone, As ye be mine. I am of you, As ye be part of me. As ye breathe, So breathe I. And forever we shall be, As one. ~ * ~ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (04-15-2003 03:29 PM).] |

 (smiles) Awwwwwwww, that's OK, dearest friend, I know you didn't mean to make this sound like what you might have thought it did, as I truly believe love brings everyone together and there is no shame in that! (kiss on cheek) This is passionately gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Linda - my heart pounds, my glands sweat, and I'm flushed, but then you said it was only a poem!!!! Linda - you are so open when you write like this, and your words tender. I sense many feelings in this writing... BC |

jellybeans ~ O', dear and precious Sweet One, a love such as this will fall gently on your lap when you least expect it, and in divine time. ~ May you know the joys of such depth of loving and having that love returned in kind. Warm hugs, Linda |

LOL Your wings won't protect you now... even though you'll need the padding! LOL WHACK!!! with my baseball bat... WHACK WHACK WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCKKKK!!! LOL |

Earth Angel...Very romantic, almost seductive. Has an old world feel to it...as if it were written in the days of Yates and Keating. ***Ivy Rose |

Ivy Rose ~ I don't know where all this Olde English is coming from. I find I even slip into archaic language when I am talking to someone! It can be highly embarrassing! Thanks for your thoughtful comments. Warm hugs, Linda |
