Who knows what inspires our poetry? I've read Ron's poem "How Long" a few times and been struck by the questions he asks therein. But tonight, after reading the poem again, and the responses he received, I felt inspired to write the following poem. Please do not jump to conclusions..it is not a confession, merely a poetic response to an inspiring poem (thank you Ron!). The years pass by uncounted But the minutes I know by name Each second since I’ve loved you No measurement is the same The time it took to make a star Means naught to me you see For in that star I see the love That I wish you had for me The jungle beasts may be subdued But my heart will not be tamed I’ll not hold back a nanosecond Though to say this, I’m ashamed My love took not a moment To find a home in my heart I know not when it will end Nor am I sure when it did start In the clock held in my heart Time is measured not in space But measured in the times I’m held Within your loving embrace [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (edited 11-30-1999).] |

This is really a wonderful poem, PdV - Ron's work has a tendency to do that to you. He certainly is my inspiration...  |

How truly intimate and filled with love. I thoroughly enjoy poetry of this type and admire all who can freely express their love for someone. Absolutely beautiful PdV. Sheila |
