Back in '96 Mr. Sparks wrote a short novel: "The NoteBook" - One of the most romantic sensual books I've ever had the pleasure to read. Excerpted below are two short verses he interjected in the story line - If you read them and like them (even if you don't like them) I hope you're inspired to read the book - short and not expensive.

The body slows with mortal ache, yet my promise
Remains true at the closing of our days,
A tender touch that ends with a kiss
Will awaken love in joyous ways

And

Our souls were one, if you must know
And never shall they be apart;
With splendid dawn, your face aglow
I reach for you and find my heart

~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.

~ Billy Wilder

Bill,

I have all of his books and they are wonderful. I hope you have encouraged others to check them out. They are in for a treat!!

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

lone wolf-
I too have read them - (all but his latest so far) Yet - this one - got me - far more than the others - and - for me - the best news is - his "Message in a bottle inspired me to attempt a novel (work in progress)
Thanks - I hope others will now read him too
