This feeling overtakes me
Surrendering...I finally just let it wash over me
As rain washes over a bare desert--
That is dry and parched...in need of a long cool drink

I can feel your eyes on me
Staring through to my soul
My heart beats faster
As the river of Love finds my heart again

Love? Is that what this is...
This strange yet familar feeling
I sigh at the very sound of your name
Closing my eyes, and just breathing--

Yet it is too soon to know
I feel like I am falling...falling downward
Knowing that if I do
You'll be there with your usual smile to catch me

The type of smile
That radiates from within the soul
Spreading outwards reaching all corners
A smile that has captured my soul

As I too now smile
Knowing our paths collided for a reason
That reason is yet to be known
I just let this feeling take me where it will--

Amy, goodness girl

This feeling overtakes me
Surrendering...I finally just let it wash over me
As rain washes over a bare desert--
That is dry and parched...in need of a long cool drink

in need of a long cool drink, great lines dear.

and this line...
I just let this feeling take me where it will--

what else can a person do, but just let it indeed.


A beautiful read my dear

Cant fight the feeling Amy-girl

I like this form of presentation on you as well.
very well done...
love ya when your smiling

Strange ... the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain.

I enjoy poems that seem to incorporate the scripture of the Bible...I was just reading a psalm today, that my forgivness is like a parched desert so this poem is the end of a
poetry all around day. So nice the way you also bring the earth landscape into the outside of a person and the inside.
