ONE IN A MILLION Whisper to me softly, Tell me something I don't know. Take my hand, come dance with me, Let the emotion flow. Touch me with the wispy feel Of velvet clouds in light. Kiss me once to show it's real, This sense of sheer delight. Tilt your head back gently As the soul within me cries - As I sink into the mystery Of heaven in your eyes. Dance across my dreams this night In silver shades of blue. Spread your wings in angelic flight For God knows I love you. And every touch and every tear, Every moment we share, I'll always hold priceless and dear As an answer to prayer. Lying here next your silk soft skin, Falling to your heart beating. I hold time ever crystalline To a feeling ne'er fleeting... As against all odds, against all fates, We've somehow found each other. As the morning sweetness emanates Our love for one another. As I watch you open up your eyes, And I'm taken by the gleaming... As I kiss your lips and realize, That even wide awake, I'm dreaming.

From a newcomer, I say congrats and certainly the perfect piece to commemorate your 4000th post ... Nice work ... Lying here next your silk soft skin ... Michael, I wanted to put a "to" between "next" and "your", in the above line ... Forgive me if I'm presupposing ... |

"Tilt your head back gently As the soul within me cries -" Incredibly beautiful Micheal! What an exquisite feeling this elicits, the ecstasy is almost painful when you finally find what you have been searching for ... (click) Best wishes, /Kit |

This is so filled with love and honesty of the heart. You are truely gifted and I admire your talent. My favorite verse: Tilt your head back gently As the soul within me cries - As I sink into the mystery Of heaven in your eyes. Dance across my dreams this night In silver shades of blue. Spread your wings in angelic flight For God knows I love you. Gotta love it as a whole also. Congrats on your milestone. |

Michael, Congrads on the 4000th post, a beautiful poem it is a pleasure as always to read your words. And as usual I am at a loss for words and breathless when it comes for the time to post a reply.

Michael, CONGRATULATIONS ON 4000!!!! This is stunning . . . you best yet in my opinion. You have my vote for sure. Sigh . . . Fabulous writing my friend. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Michael, I sincerely wish that I had seen this piece in time to vote for it. I'm sure it has a place in the book anyway though. This one just blew me away, so exquisite and loving. I'm glad you have something so happy to write about now. You touched my soul with this one. Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |
