+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Your love sustains my inner fire,
And keeps it burning brightly.
It lifts the burdens from my heart,
So I might travel lightly.

I draw such strength, from loving arms,
You wrap around me tender.
I'll weather storms, that come my way,
With you, my Dear Defender.

Your heart and soul, make me whole,
We complete one another,
As faithful friends, until the end,
We're close beyond all lovers.

Your kisses touch a place inside,
That's not been touched before.
It is the sea, of the inner me,
Once lost on distant shore.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

nice and thoughtful

Can you hear my cries, can you hear my pleads, will you watch me burn...or would you bleed for me?

Thanks for your reply! Actually, I just noticed that I had neglected to post the last stanza of the poem and have now just done so!

Big hug,

Hello sweet friend ... just popped in tonight 'cause I'm missing you and the other poets.

I draw such strength, from loving arms,
You wrap around me tender.
I'll weather storms, that come my way,
With you, my Dear Defender.


Girlfriend this is exactly how I feel about my Hon. So loving and so romantic. And I also loved the last stanza!

Hope you are resting and feeling better. Spring is in the air and that always makes us feel joyous and healthy.

Luvs and hugs and miss you lots. Marti

If you truly love Nature, you will find
beauty everywhere.

Once lost on distant shore.

Mmmm. Beautiful and so loving -- my dear defender -- like it a lot.

Good morning, Martti!
How's my busy little beaver doing! Packing and slaving away! ~ But it will all be worth your effort. What a magnificent view you are going to have from your new home!

It was good to hear from you today! It started my day off on the right wing! lol

Loves and huggums,
Your Twisted Pipster Sister,
