Realizing I’ve been pondering When the realization hit Seems my responses grew warmer Or was it when your replies came Applauding with a constant force I realize now just where I’m at But way back then I didn’t know that Perhaps I thought ‘Twas the accumulation The avalanche of poems We soon were writing The unspoken dedication My alpha and omega That you’ve now become Was snowballed in that crushing fall Of crystal words that left me numb But then the thought occurred to me As I wrote these words so free That I was being selfish so To claim your words alone did glow Perhaps you’ll claim that you fell first As all my flakes upon you burst And demurely paced until I laid my heart upon your sill What brew intoxicating so Did by its very fragrance flow Into my brain relax defenses Breech each one of my tall fences Well I know now my brain’s a muddle Spilled on sidewalk like a puddle Each cell is yours, each nerve alert As my eyes register each word spurt From your pen into my eyes Look therein I can’t disguise As I reread your flowing phrases I’ve near run out of sufficient praises To rhapsodize and thus concur With greater poets replying blur So deep in love I find myself Worry do you really love this elf Tis with amazement I acknowledge Your love words in poetic collage I heard your voice, heard you read I lost all power to secede If any such thought been entertained With just your heart and I’d been brained Down I fell within your pull Strong and gravitational I can only say sensational And yet I hoped inspirational There’s you, there’s me and now a we I’m filled with an unbelievable Sense of glee My vocabulary’s in a foreign realm Unaccustomed love is at the helm On sunny waters our ship sails smooth I can’t believe there’s no more to prove I remember when you first allowed My feelings did not cause you cowed But pleased and made you smile anew Twas like a bolt out of the blue So now I memorize and turn Each phrase you speak as so I yearn That we could share each waking moment For each breath I draw diverts my mind To a love I've found to which I bind Myself forever - it's unsurpassed Just to you 'twill make me content When I am bedding Or arising You're all I love - I'm realizing [This message has been edited by Wilfred Yeats (edited 01-22-2001).] |

Excellent Bill ... I love how you brought this full circle ... your rhyme dances with sincerety and I liked the way this built up in pace as I read... leading to the sweet poeticness of that last line WAY COOL later-realizing youre in love-gator  jm Poetry is not an opinion expressed ... It is a song that rises from a bleeding wound ... or a smiling mouth. ~Kahlil Gibran~ |

You write with such poetic grace You smother kisses on my face You swim vocabulary's pool That drips with sweet of honey's drool You conjure up poetic phrase That leaves me gawking in amaze And then on top of all of this You give each one another kiss This is beautiful Liz |

One voice one heart one single word Thats all it takes for love to be heard One moment one thought one memory to share To tell her you love her let her know that you care Your poems a pleasure a joy to behold Hearing your love songs watching your love unfold Kiss her quick but make it slow And most of all sir NEVER LET HER GO |
