He is Just a Man I met him quite by accident Without a whisper of intent And yet his presence heaven sent But he is just a man He wrote me verses full of love With words inspired from above And laced with songs of turtle dove This ordinary man He wrote of love’s intriguing bliss Of warmth and care and happiness Then sealed each sonnet with a kiss He’s just a common man He mesmerized me from the start He made pursuit of love an art Then took possession of my heart This warm and pleasant man He took me to his ivory tower Bathed me in a moondust shower Held me captive in his power This tender loving man He's just a man of humble dreams Not one of mad or wild extremes A simple soul, and yet he seems A quite alluring man I love a man with modest fore But fire brewing in the core Who overflows at passions pour A fervid savage man I love him so, as best I can But he is just a man Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 04-07-2000).] |

He wrote me verses full of love With words inspired from above And laced with songs of turtle dove This ordinary man He wrote of love’s intriguing bliss Of warmth and care and happiness Then sealed each sonnet with a kiss He’s just a common man ------------- I love a man with modest fore But fire brewing in the core Who overflows at passions pour A fervid savage man I love him so, as best I can But he just a man -------------- Liz, this is perfection. I love this poem...its so sweet in its sentiment and its sort of quiet, "understated" devotion...if that makes any sense(smile) so very well expressed, as always. I had to smile when I read the part where he writes you a poem and mesmerizes you...Im a sucker for a poem everytime too  take care, jm |

what you have done with this, you have taken a feeling and translated it into words. that's about as much as you can ask of a poem. like Hemingway said: "all you have to do is write one honest word." well, you've just written a bunch of honest words. |

Liz, this is beautiful! You are lucky to be in the presence of this "ordinary angel". "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |
