Let Me Live Again Dance with me under the moonlight while star light glistens off your skin Read me poetry as I let my head lay resting upon your comforting chest Whisper my name as the sound of your voice drowns out all confusion in my head Tell me you love me as we take each other to new heights of passion here tonight Trust me and I will trust you with all that I have and all that I am Heal me with your tender touch and in your love let me live again To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |

Thanks everyone for your warm words. I do so miss all of you and wish I had more time and a back that would cooperate so I could be here more often. I recently submitted a manuscript for a book of poems to 5 different publishers so keep your fingers crossed for me ![]() |

one word is all I can manage to utter and it is not enough...........beautiful. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

Ruthie (old pal, old buddy, old friend, old future benefactor) - A book? With lots of Barnes & Nobles book signings, maybe movie rights?? Err, ahhh... yanno, when everybody else was really hard on you, I was your most trusted ally - do you remember that? Naturally, I did all of that without a single thought of profit (although I have been destitute for many months since sacrificing all I had to follow you in your writing career). Here's "Good Luck" - I hope the publishers get into a bidding war. Hugs |

"Heal me with your tender touch and in your Love let me live again." Hoot I do believe that there is healing for our heart and soul in the tender loving touch of someone who cares for us.. I hope and pray that our Heavenly Father will pour his healing oil on you and take you in his arms and love you...Take care, James |

Hoot Owl, This is simply beautiful my friend!! Sounds like you are learning just how to do that. ![]() LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |
