i'll compose for you a lullaby to sing with the crickets if only you'll let me stay and watch you sleep i'll weave you a story of paradise and sea if only you'll let me stay and watch you dream i'll silence the atmosphere with sweet dulcet whispers if only you'll let me stay and hear you breathe i'll linger all night in the warmth of your presence if only you'll pull me near and let me stay... -dgvarner theres no such thing as a failure who keeps trying--coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace. -j popper |

Found you at last on page three!!! Well I popped out and wandered in here ....this is a lovely poem DGV......it's so gentle and as usual well written.........sure is lonely back at the watering hole!........awww well I'm off now ......me drinks waiting. It's really lovely at the pub You get nice drinks and lovely grub You can even share a tub or two.. So if your feeling rather weak Don't despair just back you sneak They'll always be a welcome home....for you Sorry .........It's really lonely now!!! Jon |

Dee, did you just try to slip one past me. This is perfect, absolutly perfect. If there were enough superlatives to go round they still wouldn't be enough. Still hey you know you deserve them for this beauty, it's fantastic. The trouble for me is since your work is always so good, and since it's getting better, I'm going to run out of praise unless I come up with some new words just for you. I'll have to think up some.

Dee love I like this so much I'm boosting it back to the top, and it'll keep it away from mine. There, that's scuppered that plot, lets face it love it's not a good idea to showcase gilt next to solid gold is it. (and cheap gilt at that) Speak to you soon Bubbles |

DGV~ This is a lovely poem, my dear. Very heartfelt and touching. I love your sentiments (but then, I am a hopeless romantic anyway!!!). Thanks for sharing. I loved it! ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

'i'll linger all night in the warmth of your presence if only you'll pull me near and let me stay...' So warm, romantic, and longing all rolled into one! I absolutely love this one! Excellent write!! sp Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |
