~Unrequited~ Of all the things I've never done, and all the things I've still yet to do ... I'd trade them all away in a heart beat, to be lying there next to you. For the beaches I've never walked on, the oceans I'll never see ... I'd gladly forfeit their beauty, to drown in the depths of your intensity. There is so much I've not yet seen or done ... so much of me remains unrequited. Still I'd pass on it all ... to live inside your heart ... so sweetly invited. Of all the languages I've not spoken ... all the love songs I've not yet heard, I'd give my ability to speak ... just to inspire in you ... but a single poetic word. For all the delicacies I've not savored ... the fine wines I'll not sip. Without hesitation I would starve ... for just a taste of you on my lips. Of all the pleasures I've yet to know ... the contentment still not found within. They could never compare ... to the ecstasy of this anticipated sweet sin. One might say ... you cant trade away what you don't possess or hold. Still I'd sell my soul in a second ... to have carnal knowledge of your secrets untold. Janet Marie |

Wow, I really love this!! Back to the top this is going my dear!!

"For all the delicacies I've not savored... the fine wines I'll not sip. Without hesitation I would starve ... for just a taste of you on my lips." And to the top she stays! Beautiful Janet Marie ... I absolutely loved the verse above especially! Well done! Best wishes, /Kit |

This is just a fabulous piece! Certainly worthy of inclusion in the book. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

What a lovely poem you created there I hope for you that you wish comes true Thank you The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

My gratitude in sharing this with us, with me. Hope you don't mind my printing this, probably more than once. Need to share this with others. Again my thanks. God Bless, Geoff |

To have one that would be willing to give as you have inside would be this man's dream. I bow to your talent for one but on hands and knees I am to the size of your heart. This is what love is about and in all aspects of life and all levels. |
