You look at me
I look at you,
words unspoken
between us two.
Perhaps it's fate
maybe destiny,
I do believe
Desire's not just in me.

Ny timing soff
so you say,
still it seems
I should stay.
You like the game
and so do I,
I do believe
we see eye to eye.

I close my eyes,
I see you there.
Run my fingers
through your hair.
I kiss your lips,
you take my hand.
I do believe
you understand.

I do believe
I want your heart.
I do believe
we should start.
I do believe
we could be good.
I do believe
if you only would.

Well put. I can feel the nervousness of the proposition.

Once I was brilliant, now I no longer shine, but the twinkle in my eye speaks of another time.

If all it took as believing.....liked this much.

Illusion...what we see and what we do...it's all up to you.

Thank you everyone. Brad, if you read this, I'm sorry I didn't read my E-mail last night until after I had posted all the poems. With all the excitement of finding this site, I went a little crazy. I tried to E-mail Brad back last night, but it wouldn't work--I'm kind of new at this computer stuff. So please accept my apologies for going so crazy and writing so much. I will spend the next few nights reading others, which I already do a lot, and writing. If there are certain rules where can I find them? E-mail me.

Thanks again for all the support.

Lee (alias) just me
