The Lady tip-toes through my thoughts, and whispers soft, of what might be; her words are couched in subtle style... is that some clue before my eyes? or, is it wishful thinking? They are just some lines of poetry. I read the words again, and yet... I know my heart cannot be wise. There may be nothing there at all; and yet, my heart insistently whispers... Read between the lines. She wouldn't use those words, unless She has opened up her heart for you... it's true; can you not see? But this would be a bold conceit... for such a thing, to second guess. And, why should She choose me, alone... amongst so many willing hearts arrayed before Her there, to choose? I am no better than the rest, except, perhaps, in weaving words... such pretty pictures to impart; but, they are only words; although, in truth; I think, if I were pressed; I would confess that they were more than that... they are soft whisperings my heart tells me I should reveal... though seeming better not professed at all for fear of gently tugging at Her fragile, sweet heartstrings laying forth the heart-truths She might wish, were better not expressed. The Lady tip-toes through my thoughts, and whispers soft, of what might be; her words read like a Lovers Kiss... is that some clue before my eyes? or, is it just my wishful thinking ? And, is it just poetry? I read the lines again, and wonder if my heart, soft tells me lies. I cannot read the truth, as by her subtle thoughts, I am caressed; a tiny hint perhaps, just there? And further on... that phrase, likewise. Is there a whisper here for me? A few soft words that might suggest something I might hope to find... on which a fragile dream relies. A fragile dream of whispered words soft penned, perhaps, not just for me; what makes me think it could be so?... such bold conceit is most unwise. And yet... I feel there's something there; the softest, sweetest melody I scarcely hear at all; a whisper softly cloaked, beyond my eyes. Does my heart deceive me? Is there nothing there? Perhaps, it's true. Little here to base a Love affair upon... it's too absurd; and yet... from less than this; down through the ages, Great Romances grew; and Love will always find a way... and not least; through a whispered word. |

I think we all share such guesses (second, third and more *S*) to some extent... poetry seduces our minds and hearts often follow... perhaps not through conceit so much as hope? *S* This is incredibly beautiful... your pen drinks from a deep well of romance! *S* |

Sir Poet, My heart as often questioned these same thoughts, from time to time, when meeting someone new, writing, and reading poetry. Your choice of words, they flow so beautifully. ~ARH |
