--- If I See You Everyday --- ~ If I see you every day forever I will always recall that night. I will recall how despite her best Efforts, nature could not distract me from you. ~ Despite the sparkle of night lights That the tiny waves threw at me, My eyes could not leave the sparkle of yours. My mind could not leave you. ~ Beneath the mournful beauty of the Rhapsodies of the circling terns, My ears could not release the rhythm Of your soft breathing. ~ Shrouded in the cool comforting Breeze that the lake blew upon us, Your embrace was all I felt Your hair was all I smelled. ~ You won that night. Pitted against all the beauty that Nature could bring to bear At that time, in that place. ~ If I see you every day forever I will always recall that night. Some men see things as they are and ask "WHY ?" I see things as they could be and ask "WHY NOT ?" |

So nice to get lost in those special moments isn't it? Loved the flow in this as well and the cadence....went with the message superbly. |

Thank You Mark & Paula ..... I wonder if any of you can pick out the book that provided the inspiration for that poem. It was inspired by a line from a book. I mention this for two reasons: 1) I think you'd all be shocked at the character who uttered the line. 2) When I take anything from another work, even a single line (as is the case here) I always cite the source. GUESSES anyone ?? [This message has been edited by The Lonely Stranger (edited 10-02-2000).] |

In Thomas Harris' sequel to "The Sinece Of The Lambs" titled "Hannibal", Dr. Hannibal Lecter utters the words "If I see you everyday forever, I will never forget how you look tonight" to Clarice Starling. I thought regardless of the source, what a wonderful thing to feel. It took me back to one night with one person, so I wrote. It was nice to hear something nice on one of my few ventures out of my normal style. Thanks for the encouragement now I'm off to read some of your works. |

Marge, Charisma ..... thanks for the encouragement. If, I'm not Lonely Char, then someone must be tiptoeing around right behind me. Because I see no one. Well, maybe one day. (hummmmm) that gives me an idea. |
