Your face I need not see To know your true beauty For I have seen your heart That is the place to start I see your beauty in my mind The beauty I have longed to find In my dreams your face I have touched To me our love has meant so much I hear your heart's true voice It is the only real choice Beauty may be only skin deep But it's your heart I want to keep --------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

I see your beauty in my mind The beauty I have longed to find In my dreams your face I have touched To me our love has meant so much I hear your heart's true voice It is the only real choice Beauty may be only skin deep But it's your heart I want to keep aw Sven that was beautiful, wonderful and heart felt. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures.

Sven~ I'm becoming a real fan of your poetry. That was beautiful. It's a wonderful thing to have the heart of someone you love. Beautiful, heartfelt poem. "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

You have such a romantic heart Sven! A beautiful poem, your best yet. Every poem you write just gets better and better. As always you speak of love so well. You are the Shakespeare and Casanova of this forum! Take care, Melissa Honeybee |

perfect-sven-gator those understanding eyes see much more than most... you have a gift for finding beauty in ones soul... beautiful poem my friend, later-romantic gator jm I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling ... If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me... In everything in you. ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

"Beauty may be only skin deep but it's your heart I want to keep." Exactly the sentiments I have been trying to come to grips with. You have written the thoughts so well. James |

It's the type of verse every woman wishes a man would write about her. You have touched the heart of this romantic!! Great job. "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |

I too believe that physical beauty is only a small portion of someone, and a very insignificant one at that. I loved it Sven! |
