The beauty you portray < !signature-->Silent space filled with resonance I reach for your hand "Do you want to dance?" I've been watching you from across the empty room People dancing I don't perceive You stole my heart, you gentle thief The beauty you portray Leaves me with speechless words to say You wear your soul there in your smile Perhaps I induce you to sway for a while Sphere like echoes the sound of waltz and swing I raise my voice like a tenor I will sing The beauty you portray Leaves me with speechless words to say Your hand so small so tender Your eyes look into my soul, I do surrender Your aura surrounds my mind A fly within your web unwind Such beauty you portray Leaves me with speechless words to say You contact my skin without a touch The dimmed lights emphasize your smile so much You wear your heart within your smile All I can do is glare at you and sigh Such beauty you portray Leaves me with speechless words to say Can't move my eyes to look away Can't open my lips to say The sound ebbs away, silence fills this empty chamber We dance on, forever, I will remember You beauty shines so bright and gay You leave me with speechless words to say My Lady, please don't ever walk away The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Your poetry is a beauty all it's own dear man...I think your heart hangs heavily within this one...  Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Helmut: This is really a very beautiful poem. It does pull at the heartstrings and bring back a number of memories from high school 'sock hops'. Thank you for the memories. |

Beautiful, Helmut. I especially loved the line: "You contact my skin without a touch". I know the feeling. |

Helmut- How romantic ... *sighing here* Now the special part ... I found a poem ... within your poem. That is like receiving an extra hug ! I found more ! Can you tell that I like this poem? 'Silent space filled with resonance, you wear your soul there in your smile. Your hand so small so tender, you contact my skin without a touch. Can't open my lips to say, My Lady, please don't ever walk away.' What a treasure-trove. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

"Your aura surrounds my mind" To have someone touch you in this way is the ultimate "I love you" the blending of two souls. Thankyou HelmutB beautifully written! Tasi |
