Lovingly Haunting
Inspired by E. Santos

It is a picture I have
of you in my mind
lovingly haunting
it will find

me thinking of you
at desk or such
penning words
that only you touch.

A picture of you
romance at its best
pouring forth your heart
giving no less.

Lovingly haunting
your words will be
and we look forward
to your poetry.

I see you here,
in my mind's eye
and enjoined to that
a picture of Sy

who reads your words
and captures your feel
in paint on canvas
so it becomes real

I see your mind
in glory bent
in Sudhir's poems
of vacations spent,

in Sven's remarks
of his Knighthood dreams
in Balladeer's quest
to sketch his dreams,

In Claire's portraits
in Christopher's philosophies,
Marge's spirit
and in Janet Marie,

each stroke of your pen
touches Helmut and Mark
and Prometheus comes
to see your new spark

of light as it shines
for each Parker and Kit
and Justbleu is here
and takes part in it

for you are lovingly haunting
as only you can be
and Ms. Santos, Elizabeth,
I curtsey to the art of thee.

very nice. I guess the people of the forums do "lovingly haunt" from their computers. Nice title.

Hauntingly Lovely

I thank you for the beautiful words
Sung by dear Sunshine like warbling birds
You are very kind to credit my muse
But my heart thinks the poetess slightly confused

I reversed the title and reverse the true
For my inspiration comes straight from you
It is all of the poets exposing their art
That bring inspiration and love to my heart

We learn from each other, react to the songs
Of passion and frienship, of right and of wrong
If my verse has touch someone, then I am content
As your verses have touched me as though heaven sent

Thank you, dear Sunshine, kind words you impart
With this tribute you are now exposing your heart

Thank you so much and thank you ,dear poets, for your lovely remarks

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

I feel less worthy of posting my poems here with each passing day; but by reading poems like this and those of many of the others here maybe I will one day rise to the occaison.
Very nice Sunshine

JanetMarie I too know what OT is...lots of it lately...so glad you took a moment for R&R...

Prometheus...that feeling will pass, trust me...you are far too worthy a poet and I enjoy everything you pen...

Kit...your talents are inspiring but as Elizabeth says, we all learn from one another...as I have learned from you...

thank you all...
