I Love You as the Dewdrops Bleed I love you as the dewdrops bleed As Blue Jay loves the sunflower seed As Hummingbird the nectars kiss And lilies hug the morning mist I love you as day opens up The yellow folds of buttercup As sunlight dries the morning dew And lights the garden’s brilliant hue My love is like the Sparrow's wing The fluttering sound the feathers sing My heart grasps all the joy within As Sparrow clings to dogwood limb My love is deeper than the depth Of nature’s secrets deeply kept And cooing of the mourning dove Is like the wonder of your love My love grows like the rambling rose And only God its power knows Elizabeth Santos |

how lovely is your poetic garden...this piece blooms with beauty... you write with such graceful imagery. very nice, take care, jm Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be jackson browne |

"until the twelth of never...and poets run out of rhyme, and that's a long long time.." ...oh, so romanic Liz, this is a beautiful poem and made me think of the song, only I think your words are better. |

Liz, this is a beautiful description of a perfect love that few of us will ever know. Keep up the good work! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

This is so beautiful~ Reminds me of spring, love at first sight... all those wonderful things... ~ Marie~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |

Poet Femme, I really apreciate your reading so much of my poetry, and your reponses are very sweet. Thank you Lovebug, Few may know it, but I have a feeling you will be one of those few. Thanks, dear for your comments. Incidently, I enjoyed the fact that you wrote in structured verse in the poem about your sister. Marie, Thank you for your kind remarks. And spring is just around the corner. Balladeer, Glad it made you sigh, that is a sign of success. Liz [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 03-18-2000).] |
