by Bill Charles ~~~~ You taught me many things, like how to love again, and how you, as my lover, also became my very best friend… Someone to show me, the kindness of a smile, that is true with its happiness, keeping my heart alive… When I lie with you, it’s the gentleness of your touch, and your intimate passions, which I love so very much… For they hold me, in the sweetness of their embrace, as I feel the softness, of which my lips could taste… But most of all, I believe that it is your precious soul, and the caring of your gracious heart, that has made me whole… You taught me I have only one life, on this earth to live, and I pray that this life, I would to you, always give… ~~~~ |

(sigh) Oh yes, dear one, love is everything! Love is the greatest thing one can have, and we all can have it, nurtured deep inside our hearts. It is love that makes our lives complete. (sigh) What a sweet poem from your beautiful heart! Thank you for sharing, my friend! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Morning Mistletoe Angel, You are very gracious with your words about this writing. Yes, love is everything, especially when one thinks that they have been there, and then finds out they really were not. Sure is different. Morning chanson, A'hhh yes, a teacher such as this. I do agree with you. Thanks for coming by. |
