You Are... You are my morning dew... the sweet taste of the forgotten night my hidden desire... the release of passions untold my truest dreams... the birth of my fantasy flight my burning sun... the warmth shattering the bitter cold You are my virgin treasure... the purity of poetic pearls my smiling moon... the beacon from darkened skies my lost innocense... the rainbow of colored swirls my only truth... the defender against life's little lies You are my softest cloud... the billowed kisses caressing my cheek my gentle butterfly... the promise of tomorrow's dance my inner strength... the power within when I am weak my pounding heart... the beat of my love's last chance I am...because...you are Mark Bohannan [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 07-26-2000).] |

Mark~ Lovely, my friend! Very powerful and touching words. I must agree with Martini - Why isn't this a book submission?  ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

You are my virgin treasure... the purity of poetic pearls my smiling moon... the beacon from darkened skies my lost innocense... the rainbow of colored skies my only truth... the defender against life's little lies You are my softest cloud... the billowed kisses caressing my cheek my gentle butterfly... the promise of tomorrow's dance my inner strength... the power within when I am weak my pounding heart... the beat of my love's last chance I am...because...you are ================ Mark this is a beautiful poem... its imagery is so lovely... and the emotions are tender and sweetly expressed... I like the unique rhyme pattern you used as well... your taking your writing to a higher level... and you know how I love seeing a poet play with his poetry  LOLvery nice Mark later-romantic-gator jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

I don't know if that qualifies for talent but I do thank you. Sunny-Next batter please....Sorry for the book thing. There is no wife only a dear friend for which I dream. serenity-Glad to have touched you and yes she is "SWEETNESS" defined. |

Mark, This is so full of love and devotion. You got it bad!! That is good though. Hope your friend enjoyed this one too. She must be a wonderful aldy to inspire such beautiful poetry. LW 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 |
