I confess I was smitten by a girl in my class
I loved her long flowing hair...every strand
My heart was played by love’s relentless, crushing pass

It was a time when love was fresh and new to me
Turning every single waking thought...to her,
and liberating inside me, what it was to be

I always thought you were the prettiest girl
and my infatuation for you, Linny, has never diminished
My love turned true and my heart was set a whirl

In Dallas, on my cheek our first kiss you laid,
the lightness of your lips ever-lingering in me...like a breath
I feel it still, knowing its warmth will never fade

An ember in my heart was set ablaze
that through many years was held from public view
You know you still make me spin with cupid’s craze

Now, I sow and mow easing every creeping sun,
unwinding and replacing fate’s thin threads,
to spin a skein where we can at last, be as one

That I’ve hurt those near and dear would be untrue,
but their tangled woven webs I soon unwound,
and ‘til time stops, my love, know this...I do love you


...just bein' Bluesy

Sweeter words were never written
by anyone so love smitten.
If your love turned to honey
all the bees would
just pack it up and go home,
for there would be no competition.
It is almost a sin
to let us look in
upon your hallowed ground
and witness the sacred love you've found.
But if we are wise,
we will look with our hearts
and not our eyes
to see the lessons
your love does behold.
And better to our own loves be,
without being told.
May your days continue to be filled
with the abundance of each other's grace.
And blessed be the future you embrace.  ~L

...and to think you told me that "sweeter words were never written", Miss Lori.
Here, let me show you how wrong you can be:
quote:
"But if we are wise,
we will look with our hearts
and not our eyes"
...you see?

You've warmed my heart just as much as you believe you have, Miss Lori.
From my side? Greatly!

Bless you and your loving heart...

Bluesy - They say if you look for Love, you won’t see it. If you listen for Love, you won’t hear it. And if you reach for Love, you won’t touch it, But if there is a Genesis of thought, it's the one that says "I know you're out there and I'm waiting". Most enjoyed Bluesy. Namyh
