Drying Your Tears < !signature-->Tear drops fall from your blue eyes and my heart stops a beat at their sight. I pull you close to me, try to take the pain from you, make it my own. My cheek lays against yours and your tears burn my face as I whisper, "Darling, it will be all right." My tears blend with your own, your pain now mine, and our tears become one as they fall in rivers on the sheets. I dry your tears with kisses, soft upon your face, shelter you from pain in the recesses of my love. Our bed becomes a chalice and we drink in each others sorrow finding salvation in each others arms; pain washed away giving rise to passion till we forget there ever were tears. David...for each tear that falls, I will be there to dry them. Hugs  Ruth Sometimes you dance with a partner, sometimes you dance alone. But the important thing is to keep dancing. ~Meredith Hodges [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 01-18-2000).] |

As I stand before you I find my words can not speak the meaning of my heart.....or my soul. Struck in awe of all that you are. I stand here helpless in surrender to you Ruth. My tears fall and with your great grace they become crystals upon the sheets of my days.......and there in the light of it all...Dances the reflection of you on each and every one.. Thank you Ruth. I love you.< !signature--> [This message has been edited by First__Knight (edited 01-18-2000).] |

Hoot, you're such an artist when it comes to these love poems. I always know that they are going to be a joy to read even before I start reading them. Great poem! Nathan |

Beautiful, Ruth!! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

What can I say that has not been said Well done Ruth The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

So lovely, hoot. It does indeed seem that a lot of us around here have that dreamy look in our eyes and are floating among the clouds, eh? Beautiful work. *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |
