Try as I might I cannot not get this to post properly.  I ask you to look to the words instead of the failed attempt at the format.  Thank you.


                                                                  Letter From The Heart
  
                                                             Dear                                      love
                                                 I miss you so                          in every way                
                                                 From the heavens                   so far up  above  
                                               to where wind blown           saplings begin to sway
                                          Across many miles and    many   clouds our love is  sent
                                        As our hearts are torn   between   the life we have chosen
                                       And the one with each other  that would be so better spent
                                      Why do we choose the one that has left our hearts so frozen
                                      Give me the chance to take you and caress the pain all away
                                      To love you freely as we walked  through life  hand in hand
                                      Allow me to kiss your heart and teach it  again how to play
                                       As we walk along the beach  building  castles in the sand
                                        Come to me through the stars  dancing  in the night sky
                                          Look up at the  moon  before  you  go to sleep tonight
                                           No longer will you suffer wishing  for me as you cry
                                           For I see the same moon the one shining so bright                                     Let the night fairies sprinkle you with their dust                                         And float  you to the ceiling of  powdery clouds
                                                Walk  along the pillows  with all of your trust
                                                 We  begin our  flight  away  from  the crowd
                                                  Please baby  just give love one more chance
                                                   Meet  me in the corner of  heaven's   floor  
                                                     You heart in mine as we begin to dance  
                                                       Thru the reaches as we begin to soar
                                                          This is my dream that I want to be
                                                            Baby open your eyes take a look
                                                              True love waits to set you free
                                                                For me,caring is all it took
                                                                   Let love take it's flight
                                                                      Please hon let it be
                                                                          Use this night
                                                                             This I plea
                                                                                  Love
                                                                                   Me

            Mark Bohannan

"Allow me to kiss your heart and teach it  again how to play"

Oh my, Mark! Simply exquisite!  I loved your romantic thoughts in this, I could feel the
longing.  Beautiful flow ... stunning work ... enchanting presentation!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

LOL ... you were playing lost and found over on the other thread ... I saw this beautiful poem, read it, but by the time I'd finished responding to you, it had vanished into the great beyond!  Glad to see you found it Mark!  I copied my thoughts back over

Mark this is so tender and sweet..
a look into the longing and desires
of your heart...
so romantic and graceful
who could resist such a sweet plea  
better be careful..your heart is showing  
someone may start to call you a poet.
love it MC

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

Mark*
Your plea is heart felt and heart heard...to come across a love that fills every dream, every hope possible and then to overcome past, present and future to hold it tight...all are huge barriers...but true love scales those walls and remains through every storm...beautiful writing Mark...the view on this side of your heart is beautiful~

so appreciate the sincerity in them.  I thank you for always taking the time to read
when I post. Glad it looks good from there cause this side is real messed up baby. LOL

be futile at this point.ROFL   I dont know what is in that tea but every since you gave me some I have been feeling really strange....you know sort of like the animals do in the spring.   Thanks girl

Ditto on Balladeer....

Mark, my friend... all your efforts for this just shows the deep emotions in your heart...

... keep them always with you, the lucky one will then enjoy her life too with your heart as the greatest gift she ever recieved...


regards,
sudhir
P.S. I could help fix the graphic if necessary... but I don't think it is... for the message is clear...

Isn't it frustrating when a format doesn't work out like it should when we've struggled so long to make it "right"!?  BUT, you see my dear friend Mark, what you SAID was more important than how it looked! Such is a book!  Such is a person!  You must dig deep inside to see what is truly there, and what is truly here in this very poem is what comes from inside you!  You are so very right...you ARE only going to get better, and better, and my little Energizer bunny, better!
