I've written how I feel I've written what you do Spoke of us together So that maybe you've a clue But I need to tell you more Tell you what you are to me Speak of more than beauty And how you set me free You've heard I love your fragrance And how it stains the night You know your voice enchants me And brings me such delight But I need to tell you more Tell you what you are to me Speak of more than beauty And why I feel such glee You're softness so personified You're laughter's liquid pearls You're the love that's come to life in me You're all woman and all girls But I need to tell you more Tell you all you are to me Speak of more than charming And more than ecstasy You're cool and limpid pools You're crashing boiling waves You're soft and tender kisses You're all this poor heart craves And I need to tell you more Tell what you bring my life Speak of all the comfort And how you end my strife You're piano's warm arpeggios A Soprano's passionate song Music for my heartstrings Birds warbling all day long Yet I must tell you more Tell you all the things you do Speak of all the good things Why with you I'm never blue A painter's dream on canvas A sculptor's dream in stone Beyond rainbows, beyond stars Beyond a royal throne Salome's dance, that magic chance The seventh veil, the pine lined trail Canapes and TV trays Popcorn, steak, the last great sale Chilled dry wine, the kiss sublime Warm nights of never-ending Frosty windows, fire in hearth Hot toddies richly blending Conversations streaked with love Bound by hugs of bliss Caresses soft as eiderdown Cemented with a kiss Now you know how I feel And you know what you do Know what you are to me I think maybe you've a clue [This message has been edited by Wilfred Yeats (edited 10-11-2000).] |

Sir Poet Bill* This is absolutely breathtaking...you are going to sweep the women off their feet with this...you have me floating on clouds and it's not even for me...lol You know how to make someone feel special that's for sure...a gentleman and a poet a duet that no woman stands a chance against  |

Bill--This poem is so tender and full of love...I'm sure your beloved is touched by the feelings of your heart, as I am. |

Paula what a wonderful thing for you to do, because I missed it the first time 'round, too... and...wow... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
