can you hear me sighing into your heart with the softest touch velvety satiny feathery speaking of my dreams sharing all of yours embracing as we glide floating drifting soaring look in my eyes do you see yourself believe my love is true deep constant strong hear the words of my soul calling your name feel this ache within me needing wanting begging I need you to fill me join me here on heaven’s doorstep serene tranquil contented extend your hand reach for me I’m here before you waiting beckoning inviting calling your name in my heart you reside giving me reason to go on assurance purpose hope just call to me allow me to enter I am yours forever always never [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (edited 11-25-2000).] |

I hope I am first to applaud your first attempt at free verse...the ending caught me by surprise, so therefore, I had to read it twice...lol... well done, little one... write on! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Your first free style? wow, excellent job. I love the flow, which is the hardest part of free style. But you have made this readable without effort. beautiful!!!! Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul. |

Love this "free verse", but being of a different age, so much of what all of you create is new to me. I hope I will be able to express myself in the way y'all do. So lovely and keep up the beautiful words. |

Well you knew that I had to come looking for this one as it was your first "RELEASED" free-verse and all. Simply poetic perfection my friend in all respects and your format is taken from one of the masters so you had a jump on the perfection at the beginning. Wonderfully written and now you MUST (PLEASE) share some more with us. (You did notice that I said please didn't you?) A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

i am impressed. i too am a rookie when it comes to writing free verse, but it would seem you've found a groove rather easily. and the ending on this one...*ho-hum* all women are teases...you are a little heartbreaker aren't ya? i liked it very much. a stream-of-consciousness flow to it. dig it.
