I find it funny that you say
you are in love with me...
For there are so many things
that you simply can not see.

You sing the praises of my eyes
which you say are deepest blue.
Yet you know nothing of the soul
which they are the windows to.

You love the texture of my hair,
how through your fingers it does glide.
Yet you know nothing of the thoughts
which in this poet's mind reside.

You crave the softness of my lips
and the moisture of my kiss.
I do believe that if I left
this would be all that you would miss.

You desire the fullness of my breasts.
They are the objects of your desire.
Yet you know nothing of the heart beneath
and the dreams which fuel its fire.

You enjoy the flatness of my stomach
and the way my hips sway to and fro.
Yet you know nothing of the knot in my gut
which lets me know that it's time to go.

You slide your hand from hip to toe
feeling the smoothness of my legs.
Yet you know nothing of the strength in them
which will allow me to walk away.


--You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.--

I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

Very well done! Men can be unfeeling and callous sometimes but the men whom are real lovers are interested in much more than just the physical part. Real lovers always end up being exceptionally close friends and who can be a close freind to someone they don't get to know. Great poem! Makes a great point.

Elizabeth --  Thank you so much for your kind words.

ethome -- I couldn't have said it better myself.  Thank you for reading and responding to my work.  And most of all...thank you for getting it!  

Prometheus --  I always have to look three times before spelling your name and then I probably spell it wrong, but anyway!  Thank you so much for your kind response.  

Balladeer --  Me?!?  A must read?!?!  Wow, the pressure's on now.     Thank you so much for your kindness.  Seeing as how I've read absolutely everything you've posted...it means a lot.  Thanks!

What depth these thoughts reach !

  You've captured my thoughts today.....
       and have done it so very well!

  I've often wondered why image overides
            substance?


Hold life with an open hand....leaving it room to grow....
