If I knocked down a wall for you Stepped out and gave my all to you Allowed myself to fall for you Would you be kind to me? If I unlocked the deadbolt and Put silver key in waiting hand With hopes that you would understand Would you pay mind to me? I've spent years building barricades And walls no one can breach My heart resides in cast-iron safe Completely out of reach. Now here you are to ring the bell And offer ride on carousel A chance at heaven - maybe hell I'm far too blind to see If curtains were allowed to part Providing access to my heart Would it be dumb or very smart? Would you be kind to me? |

the hardest part of looking in may be in the hearts of kin and in a new friend's face you see the heart that will hold your memories so be not dumb, but smart, and swift and watch the barricades as they shift see the Sun come smiling in and your friends come welcoming Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Being Kind to you would be so easy for me like second skin, like poetry. How could I not be kind to you ... why its the most natural thing to do For you have set the example ... you were kind first always seeing my best ... when I only saw the worst ... So yes sweet poet I can be kind to you .. and Ill prove it by sharing my spam and a *winkiewinkie or two  hey there you silver fox you ... love the new picture  Sprayed across my heart and hers Danced butterflies in the wild This angel, this woman , who loves me with the innocence of a child. ~DeVante~ |

Oh gosh this was asked so very gently. How could anyone not be kind to you and treat your heart with gentleness. *sigh* romantic you are and this poem I love. Thank you so very much for sharing. Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. [URL=http://path2riches.com]http://path2riches.com |

I loved the poem, I like the new picture also  < !signature-->What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman [This message has been edited by Irish Rose (edited 11-29-2000).] |

Balladeer-When approached with respectful kindness that is you, how could anyone not want to return this in kindness back? Awesome. |

If she could see through poetry, The heart and mind I've come to see, Then surely, she'd be kind to thee, For you are wondrous company. Beautiful Michael (and love the "new you") Best wishes, /Kit |

I forgot to put this beautiful poem in my library, I think that's a good place for it What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

I'll leave your heart for the ladies to enjoy, but I would most certainly be kind and ask to take lessons from the master!!! Well written sir and yeah, the new pic should make quite a few of the ladies smile broadly. The poem echoes the silent pleas of a heart that needs the gentle caress of a true love and I for one hope that you find it. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

'Dear, Kind to you you know I am even when you're eating spam even when the cows come home even when your cover's blown could I would I there's the rub I would love you in the tub In the street and in the mall kindness to you will never pall should you could you ever see just what it is you mean to me I would be kind, I would be true I would teach a thing or two So Balladeer don't you fret for I will love you across the net. I don't know what Dr Seuss Is doing inside my head at this time of day but there ya go. Keth. Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

Aw Balladeer love is such a gamble isn't it? But everyone takes the chance and there are no answers I could really give other than those same answers that I thought felt right when I felt that miraculous feeling that comes with the infatuation of a new love. A feeling that knocks one into a chemical imbalance where a racing heart pours firey passions through the veins...oh that wonderful biological function!! I think you'll have to try it again you're too much of a romantic soul to escape that rush... and just maybe she will be kind to you ...forever have a nice love!! ethome |
