Before Before I ever met you, I had dreamt you You are the wish I dared not utter aloud That's why I knew that you were so true You were the whispered sigh on my lips I knew that I belonged utterly to you Before we had spoken, or I felt your touch I knew that you would caress my sore heart That's the reason I need your love so much You were the song that I longed so to hear The love, the soul to whose mine will touch Before I gazed into your beautiful soft eyes I knew that I'd find this perfect loves' truth That love and passion can produce this sigh Your touch is the magic, that I've waited for The sign that my dream was before my eyes Before our whispers had caressed our ears I believed my heart would hope on in vain My soul believed it could only gather tears But still I hungered for my dream, my love All this before we met, before love appears Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 11-11-2000).] |

Marsha, I implore you, get rid of the "mushy" and go straight to magnificent and/or majestic...because you are not now, nor ever have been "mushy"... you have a muse building, my dear...and she is coming from whatever is the true inside of you... and she is showing, proudly... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari, Thank you love, truly, as for the mushy, I think it's sort of sweet. It's because I'm soft in the head and the heart. Certainly my muse is stiring me, he inspires me constantly. Which is where this poem came from. I do appreciate you I really do, and thanks for your kind words and beautiful poetry. Take care Majestic Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marsha, This was wonderful writing. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

LW thank you kindly, one of my softer pieces, I'm glad you like it. Circe, Hi love, thank you for the vote of confidence, I do appreciate it, you know I do. This is one of my softer dreamy ones, sort of drifting off to sleep. (Probably make a suitable alternative to hot milk for the lactose intolerant) Glad you like this one love, I really am. Still if you're not just drifting off to sleep, Touch Me In The Morning, should make you feel awake again.
