To whom it may concern She is a nymph behind a wall, Forever wide, forever tall. A nereid of poetic shade, A maid made of special suede. She came to me on special words Exquisite like some special birds. And I was struck to quiet numb By her words to quick succumb. And I wondered at her mind, A very, very special kind. That seemed to draw a special bow, Of unique wisdom that I know. And now I dream forbidden things From a wells, forbidden spring. And know not how to treat this gleam, This lovely, lovely wicked dream. For she lives behind a wall. Forever wide, forever tall. |

Elizabeth, Only the suns forevers grace Can warm inside forevers place It's only that, I swear an oath, It's only that, that warms them both. Mike, I'm glad you like. Hoot, Thank you I really enjoy your comments. Nan, You tell me??? Martie, I do confess I am. Pepper, It's rarely I show another, thank you. |

Nay dear friend, she's what she seems, while living quietly in front of screen where she may peruse your tender words that fly at her soft, like birds. And it's your mind she adores, as is your heart and she'll not succumb to tearing it apart, but let it live, for live it must she'll not part you from that which you trust. But go, dream, and if you like, scheme a play, a tribute to what may seem daunting, but not, for it's all in your mind, there to be yours, whenever it you shall rewind. |

Sunshine Name of Sunshine, you should know It's said just sunshine warms the soul A lighted screen is just a screen A poet's dream is just a dream Sunshine is the one who knows A rose is only just a rose Elizabeth |

Sunshine, Thank you so much for the wonderful poem. The sunshine that you define Is a type of concubine. Elizabeth, And forever is the toll That fills the beggers bowl. |

Forever is a never word Whose final song is never heard And so forever I've preferred To never use this never word Elizabeth |

That was something else....I enjoyed this very much!! She's right....you shouldn't use "Never"!! Bridgette ------------------ "It may take a boy to turn a girl's head, but it takes a man to turn a girl's heart." |

Justblue, Never is a good word Depends on how it is heard. Its use is a suppositive, Negitive or positive. WhtDove, Forbidden thing can be the joy of life. Elizabeth Forever is a poets tool. And is not bound by any rule. Explaining something of a theme, The summation of a dream. |

Forever is a long, long time. And I want to be there. Seymour, this is lovely. It captures a spirit that seems elusive, but is not. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Liz, The truth of never, eternal night, Drop the n and you have the light. without the one the other can't be, It helps to write an epopee. |

Sy Quite brazen on your part, I say Throwing unknown words my way This thesaurus - grabbing little poet So disadvantaged and you know it Scrambling and nearly crying Dictionary pages flying But in the end your epopee Has helped to soothe my ennui Elizabeth |

Suits him well romantic notions Floating o'er forbidden oceans Words sublime of gentle love To soothe the gentle mourning dove Elizabeth |
