On Tiptoe Feet On tiptoe feet it comes so soft Like haze rolls in the waterfront Mysteriously it hangs aloft Until the moment of your want So silently it draws you near With out a single word or cue Unannounced it fast appears And tenderly embraces you It changes everything you see The past is past, the present’s now The future is a blissful dream No matter where or when or how It is the power of love that comes On tiptoe feet into your heart So delicately it overcomes Without a warning, plays it’s part It gives you peace, like rippled pond It makes your heart sing sweeter tunes And everything of which your fond A thousand fold your soul consumes Your heart hangs on to music’s strings It’s captured in a sunset’s glow It dances as the swallow sings It follows in the water’s flow Your eyes reflect the twinkling stars The glowing moon, the candlelight Your face casts smiles from afar You fondly wait the tender night You feel the rhythm of the sea Your blood runs to a lover’s beat This change in life is meant to be When love comes in on tiptoe feet Elizabeth Santos |

Coco, seems like you tiptoe through the back pages of the forum and find poems that have been left to obscurity. Thank you for finding this and for your kind remarks. It gives me a chance to thank all those who responded to this poem without my realizing. I appreciate all of your comments Thank you Liz |

Hi Liz, This is one of the best descriptions of love I've seen in awhile...beautifully done...I've often see it sneak up on tip toe feet. Wonderful, isn't it? I want to thank you for visiting my web site and the kind things you had to say. That was a nice surprise to wake up to this morning. I hope your day is a pleasant one, my friend.

Kit, Thank you, my poet twin, Glad you likr it Toe, I was just trying to give you a plug. You've been gone so long, somr of the new poets might not know you, so this is a tip to Toe poem. Nice to have you back. It's better when you're here Michael, I must say, I'm very fond of your writing and enjoyed you're site, although I didn't get halfway through the poetry, I'll treat myself and go back again soon. Thank you for reading my poem and for your kind comments Liz |

I read slowly - thinking Carl Sandburg at the beginning (The Fog) as I got further into it it became clear you weren't talking Fog - and as Love became clear - I was totally entranced - moreover - you poem 'flowed' beautifully. wonderful Erite Liz |
