Best I Can Do For A Love Poem

do you find comfort
in your pain
are you being touched
does the empty remain
is there a constant loss
for words in your speech
when similar sounds
are within your reach
do dreams escape you
as you sleep
trouble from the edge
that runs so deep
for you I would give all
I am and try to exceed
where you could finally believe
and another touch and carry your need

Such painful words of love -- someone like you should have a person who is solid and real, and who would leave behind any and all of his past, just to be with her.

We men fall so short.

I have been reading some of your poetry tonight and wish to tell you that you express your pain with grace and beauty.  I can relate.  Thank you for putting into words what will not come for me ... yet ... a coherent compilation of words.
