How many times must I feel defeat- Before love’s victory is mine? How long must I wait for You- Before I run out of time? Much of my life has been mistakes- But how long am I to be judged? I can’t erase the depths of time- When will I ever feel loved? Not as a friend, but as a lover- I starve for the affection you give, My life has never been solely my own- For everyone else- I’ve always lived. For once, if I might be so selfish- I look for a warm loving heart, To bring me passionate whispers- To fulfill each and every part. *Do I dare ask you to start…?* Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Oh this is tantalizing. Full of longing and yet a fear. Wow...this reaches deep within. Beautifully done, devina. Quit waiting I say...but then I'm always a sucker for a dare. Michael [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 03-11-2000).] |

Devina, this is beautiful, I can relate to these for lines... Not as a friend, but as a lover I starve for the affection you give, My life has never been solely my own- For everyone else- I’ve always lived. beautiful.  What comes from the heart goes to the heart. Samuel Coleridge |

Beautiful work from a heart so true. Your poetry has grace and style I enjoyed this and many of your others as well. You have a gift that someone one day will cherish until the end of time....don't settle for any less than that. |
