My name you softly whisper to me, Love, “Come take my hand, come share a dance with me” Beneath star-studded canopy above In dreams you sing to me unendingly. You sweep me off my feet into the past And carry me to days of long ago To times of stardust charm not meant to last Those magic scenes to me you kindly show. In warm embrace your arms around me fold And tenderly you kiss my tear-stained face “Your treasured memories I’ll safely hold And guard them well for you from time’s erase.” And in the commonplace of each new day New memories you weave along the way. < !signature--> 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~ [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 01-28-2000).] |

Gentle Lady, your words resound with truth and tenderness. Well done.  --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

Denise, quite beautiful!! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

*sigh*..soo beautiful Denise..you definitely spoke to this romantic's heart.  *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 |

beautiful words and I won't even show my ignorance by saying it took me awhile to figure out what personification meant in the context of a poem... but got it now... guess I better start going to class... anyway... wonderful poem. |

Thanks Mike. I'd been using it but not realizing that I was! So I guess class can be a good thing! Thanks again for your always kind comments! Denise |

Denise the first thing I did was 'sigh.' And I will agree with Hoot there, it speaks to me too! Well done! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |
