(posted for a special someone who suggested I do so) As these clouds Quickly pass by, I am lost in contemplations Of the words you’ve offered. I’m having trouble Slowing down the deluge Of emotion flowing from me. Derived from your charm, This rapid heartbeat gives me away And there is no use In my trying to hide it. I’ve been writing with the same pen For quite some time now, But, since it’s run out, You’ve replenished what I’ve lost. I’m sure you don’t fully comprehend The consequences of the images You’ve set in my mind. And time, oh time! It drains every ounce of strength I’ve got left, And my defenses have long since fallen. You’ve relieved me of my pain By distracting me with Visions of endless meadows In which you’d hold me close And never let me go. The lull of your heartbeat Has drowned out the sound Of this sad heart breaking. A newly-arrived inspiration Has introduced itself As a mutual friend Of you and me; Love has portrayed itself In a brave new way, as well. I won’t turn my gaze From these clouds, For they, And the beat of your heart, Have taken me away From the pain I have known, And shown me A whole new world Of ecstasy. -kh 11/5/00 'cause I am hanging on every word you say, and, even if you don't want to speak tonight, that's alright, alright with me... |

Ahhhhh ... How sweet, your a true romantic, fantastic poem, I'm glad you wrote it for that special someone as it describes the way that I feel write now, I just wish I could tell the person that, but I think that soon they'll ruin my life anyway . Great poem, reach for the dreams that you hold dear, and they will surely someday become reality . Thanx . L.of.L. Tom . Don't try, do or do not, there is no try . - Master Yoda - |

Kris... This is beautiful!! It brought a few tears to my eyes. Though the whole poem is simply amazing my favorite lines are as follows... "I won’t turn my gaze From these clouds, For they, And the beat of your heart, Have taken me away From the pain I have known, And shown me A whole new world Of ecstasy" This says it all my friend. You got the love bug And I'm loving seeing you like this!! Take care. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ @>-->-- ~amy~ |

Yeppers, I would say that you have been bitten my friend and you wear it so beautifully. This is definitely my favorite of yours now and I am glad you were talked into posting it. Enjoy the basking and keep us up to date in your progress in this one. It is so nice to see love blossoming in your life. Hugs my dear friend. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
