words echo inside his heart
reverberating throughout each part
they are ingrained on his soul
their very essence make him whole

within he is many things
a glimpse is shown in the gifts he brings
each day he wears a different hat
watch and see where it's at

he is a poet as you know
tales of romance from his pen flow
he captures us with his dreams
where nothing is as it seems

he is also a knight true
whose pride shines through armor new
he battles for the maiden fair
who is the reason for the scars he bears

an instrumentalist first was he
the music he makes could mesmerize thee
notes cascading through the wind
causing melodies and harmonies together to spin

a singer of numerous songs
expressing the love for which he longs
his voice is soft and so sweet
articulate beyond any you'll meet

an artist in every way
shown in the things he does and has to say
creativity flourishes within his breast
never leaving him a moment to rest

this is a peek at the man I know
a view of the sides he seldom shows
walking through Passion's Gallery
his portrait seems to speak to me

Jennifer,

your pen is full of kindness, compassion and dignity.

LoneWolf~
Not only are you an outstanding poet -
you are an artist of magnitude.

Gently you've stroked the canvas
and painted a masterpiece of Sven~

Sven, the curator of the gallery -
has just been framed!  

Who indeed knows him better !
THIS IS WONDERFUL !
Love n' hugs to BOTH of you.

Sven . . .You are welcome for the words and I am glad you agreed to let me do this under the Passions Gallery Title.  I am pleased to have them hanging here also.    

Sandra . . . Glad you enjoyed it.  Thanks.

Marge . . . Your compliments have left me speechless my dear friend. I figured who better to frame Sven than his wife!!  LOL. Glad you liked it.  Love 'n hugs from us to you!!    

ethome . . . This one has been in the works a while, but Sven asked me to wait until his 5000th to post it and I agreed.  I am glad you enjoyed the read.  A look at the many sides of Sven I guess.    

serenity . . . Thank you my friend.  You are quite a lady also.
