(A Villanelle) Throughout our lives we're ever dreaming of The day we'll find that perfect sweet caress. How shall we know when friendship's really love? A quest for raptured hearts the conduit of Life's bask in yearning throngs of WistfullNess. Forever seems our lifelong dreams are of The hope we may imbue our hearts thereof With exultation, but we shan't unless We recognize when friendship's turned to love. Whence all emotions fit like hand in glove It may just be - 'Tis serendipitous. Those things in life we're ever dreaming of As rhapsody's sung on the wing of dove And, one to each, our promise we profess How do we know this friendship's really love? Whence we have placed our faith in Hands above Each ray of sun bestows SagaciousNess No longer things we're only dreaming of We'll surely know when friendship's one with love.  ------------------ Nan's Morsels netpoets.net/nan/index.html |

Nan, your words are so completely beautiful! I don't what else to say! I must agree with Dream...I am also awed! ------------------ ~one voice~ *You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.* |

Another beautiful writing Nan.. I Love it.. It's kind of the start and ending of the post that I have up.. I don't think I would have seen this if I didn't scroll all the way down.. I wish that I had more words to express your writings, but I think you know how I feel by now.. Keep the writing coming and I'll keep reading.. No one can put it better than you Nanner!! Love, Lady ------------------ Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured. [This message has been edited by Ladycat (edited 07-14-99).] |

When you go out on a date, arrive at the restaurant three hours before closing, and talk so long the waiter says, "Were closing the kitchen. Would you like to order now?" Your food comes, and you hardly touch it because you can't pull yourself away from the other person long enough to even take a bite. You pay the bill and still you stay, only to leave with doggie bags in hand and the cleaning crew turning chairs up onto the tables. You say "good-night" with a passionate kiss and go your separate ways until the marrow. And in the morning… the leftovers are the best food you ever had. That's when it started. Thanks for sparking the memories with your poetic ways. P.S. I got your e-mail, but I can't seem to e-mail you in return. Tried a few times with no success. |

Of all your poetry (the ones I've read), this, I think, is my very favorite! I missed it first time around. I'm very glad I'm hanging out here tonight ... just to read this.  dp |
