Do You Think Of Me? < !signature-->Do you think of me in the early morning? When the sunlight warms your face and the wind caresses your ear, do you feel the flush I put upon your cheeks and my heated breaths as I whispered your name? Do you think of me throughout the day as you work? When your fingers stroke the smoothness of your keyboard, do you recall the silkiness of my skin or the way we touched each other with our words when our hands were unable to reach across the distance between us? Do you think of me and remember how every line became a tender caress; how each word became a breath, an embrace, a kiss as we made love in syllables and time stood still? Do you think of me in the still of the night as you lay alone and dream of better days? Do my hands, once more, sail the contours of your body leaving you breathless in their wake? Can you feel my gentle caresses, even now, as I reach out to you from the depths of my dreams? And as the memories crash like waves, their shores the recesses of my battered heart and mind, I can’t help but wonder... After all this time, do you think of me? Have you ever noticed That the words... "Goodbye" "I'm sorry" "I love you" Are so easy to pronounce ...Yet so hard to say ~Javan [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 02-21-2000).] |

Very nice! I liked the line: "the recesses of my battered heart and mind". where shattered memories can be found, I think. Hope the week goes well for you! Danny |

A poem from the heart can't help but be beautiful, especially when that heart is yours, Hoot Liz |

I don't think you need to worry, Ruth. If there is one word to describe you it is....unforgettable. Beautiful writing. |

Hoot~ Beautiful, you know. And I would hazard a guess that yes, he does. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Applausing you! This was great. I have to LOL @ Rex! I tend to bet with words like that he hasn't forgotten and thinks of you often |

This is a fabulous poem that reveals so much about the feelings inside your heart. I don't know about the other guy but I'm thinking about you right now. James |

Do I think of you??? I do now!!!! - lol - this is truly a sensuous, romantic poem. Man! I wish I had written this. But, then, if I had written it, ol' Rex wouldn't be in the shower right now, would he? |
