Beautifully Mine I tried to write you a love poem words just spin around the page I follow your lips with mine when you speak in whispers that chase your breath standing on a shadows lace I know where my heart is flying with black birds across a sunset I looked up and it looked like sky poetry saying things I never could of how my heart feels beautifully mine "I'm so hard to handle |

Well, it was a little strange because of lack of punctuation. Other than that, it was well written, and I probably would have enjoyed it much more. Sorry, I'm one of those people who just hate little or no punctuation. |

"saying things I never could" Well I can very well done How is that for words. The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

...so many good parts, but I think these words caught my attention most: "in whispers that chase your breath" |

Dear Helen, your words are like billowy pillows of down and cumulus, lips in the wind, mouthing whether and reign. Blowing whoosh and breath, of softness, and whisper. Loving this. ![]() |

Smiles. Not to change the mood or subject or anything here, but, ummmmmmmmm, like Charlie Brown with the Red Head Girl, sometimes, Valentines are so, so very, very difficult to give away. Aren’t they? Loved your poem. -Bob |

I looked up and it looked like sky poetry saying things I never could of how my heart feels I have actually read the sky that way myself. Beautifully done Helen. |

No, those weren't blackbirds accompanying your heart but the silhouettes of doves. |

What a beautiful moment of awareness. Enjoying the beauty within yourself is important for your perception of all the gifts you have to give. Eric |
