you're the one, the one I've always loved ever since I met you under golden skies above our hearts beating together in rhythm and rhyme as we explored a love that would last for all time gentle and warm was the touch of your hand leading me down that trail to love's secret land a land that welcomed us both with open arms as I became your lover, beguiled by your charms we walked loves trail for only a measure but I shall remember our love forever and ever and on nights like this, seeing summer's first star I send you my love, wherever you are --------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

This is tender, sentimental and sweet, Sven. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

'Tis a time for recalling lost love... Very nice, Sven...  Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |

*sigh*.... hey! ... she's out there somewhere wherever she is, y'know? and you certainly have a way of phrasing it romantically.... it's funny.,.. or is it?.... men usually aren't as demonstrative as women in relaying their feelings... do you think that male poets are different in that respect? or it's all just words.... *bigsigh*... hard to figure out, but then again, i'm just the reader, not the poet... but i will say this... i have wished on summer star sometimes near and sometimes far depending on the season, yes, but still my wish was just a guess. a wish, a want, a passion sure, some do find love which will endure. and truly, i hope you are one who finds your star under your sun. (whoops... spontaneous poetry... *sigh*... i guess your verse inspired me!) |

Claire, thank you my friend. . . it's the mood I'm in lately. . .  Nan, thanks. . . it is that time again. . . *sigh*. . . Sunshine, I guess I'm ready for winter to be over now. . . or maybe I'm just ready to be warm. . . thank you my friend. . . doreen. . . sheesh. . . you mean I have to be philosophical? Now?? At 11:15 PM EST?? LOL ok. . . I guess that in some ways, it is funny. . . you're right though, men usually aren't as demonstrative as women in relaying their feeelings. . . are male poets different in that respect? Well, I don't know. . . speaking for myself. . .I've always tried to let my feelings come through in my writing. . . and I've always been pretty good at showing them. . . are these just words? Well, not for me they're not. . . they're my feelings, my longings, my dreams. . . but, inversely to you, I'm the poet and you're the reader. . . (I hope that makes sense!! )And thank you for your poem. . . we're even now. . . you've inspired me, and now I've inspired you!!  ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 02-11-2001).] |

I really liked your reply to Doreen Sven. I agree with you, however, sometimes I am writing about someone elses situation and I really try hard to put myself in their position...and I try to show their feelings from the bottom of my heart...I know I would never know exactly but I can feel for them...ah the wonders of poetry! I love this poem Sven it's as honest warm tender and loving as they come.....take care ethome Reality seldom bears the possibilities of imagination! |

Sven dear heart, this is, as all of yours, utterly wonderful. I truly adore this but then I would wouldn't I. And are you good at expressing yourself and your feelings, oh yes. But then maybe because it's the truth it comes through, don't they say truth shines, and it clearly does. An absolutely wonderful piece from you it is soooo beautiful in both content and form. I really love this Take care love as always Mushy Oh and Bev de Bump will be sending this back up later. Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Melissa, I think that we all need a little Romance this week. . . thank you my friend. . . JLR, it's amazing that we never see it when we lose it. . . why do you think that is?? Ah, it's better to not think about it. . . and just enjoy it. . . thank you. . . Tracie!! Hello my friend. . . oh, I've missed you. . . thank you so much for your reply, I'm glad that you liked it. . . ethome, thank you my friend. . . you're right. . . it's hard to know what someone else's feelings are, but we can empathize with them. . . and poetry lets us do that. . . brilliant sir!!! Thank you again. . . Charisma, I'm glad that this gave you a warm feeling. . . thank you my friend. . .Marsha love, thank you so much. . . everytime I read your responses, I'm the more and more humbled. . . and I don't think that I'll be needing Bev's services for this one. . . but I'll keep her in mind!!! helen, thank you. . . you know, I've always wondered about that word. . . bittersweet Bill, from one Romantic to another. . . thank you!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.

This is poetry describing thoughts that, for me, are better left in the past sometimes. I enjoyed this, Sven. I'm sure they're out there, and sometimes we wonder if they think of us once in a while as we do them. ya think? |
