THank You, Lady Poet I read a poem the other day That stirred me to the core It told of something so divine That I have known before It spoke to me as though the poet Wrote my heart and soul She penned in words what even thoughts So vaguely could unfold She spoke of love, but love sublime And seemed to play my part As she defined in wondrous lines A portait of my heart Tears came pouring through her words Of rapture of my own Sensations of a tenderness And pleasure I have known And then her verse sliced though my heart And severed every string The pain of losing precious love Was losing everything Thank you, lady poet For unmasking all my grief Your poetry has given me A sense of new relief For now I know that on this earth There is another soul Who lives like me, just half a life Til love completes the whole I’d always been so secretive Of feelings that were mine But someone else has dared to share The loss of love sublime Thank you, Lady poet For exposing who I am I’ll be back to read your Lovely verses once again Elizabeth Santos |

Liz--I have seen you write your heart so many times on the page...isn't it nice to find that you are not alone in how you feel, I know because you have written my heart many times. You have such a way of expressing yourself...just makes me want to write like you...hugs! |

Lizzie, you have poetically defined one of the most special gifts found here each day ... when we see our own heart written in anothers words... as me and serenity say ...a poem holds up mirrors ... We all share the same emotions at one time or another ... but still sometimes we feel alone in our feelings ... it is what I call quiet comfort...to read and see our selves in anothers poetry. sincere lovely poem dear poet love to ya jm Poetry is not an opinion expressed ... It is a song that rises from a bleeding wound ... or a smiling mouth. ~Kahlil Gibran~ |

As always, I am grateful that not only you have been inspired by one, or many, but that you turn in grace to share that gift received with the rest of us.... for I never tire of reading Lady Santos. |

Secrets can kill and destroy can't they Elizabeth? Light and truth are the core of poetry and even in the darkness our words should reach out for others. The poems that Emily Dickinson hid beneath her mattress live on. Our words should be heard and read and live on, not be hidden. This is a beautiful tribute to a poet. She should be acknowledged, not hiddened. She has been in the darkness all of her life, no doubt. It's beautiful. Kathleen |

O Lady Poet, O beautiful writer, O friend Liz, This is as exquisitely penned as ever... It's been a while, and I have a lot of catching up to do... and maybe if time is better towards me and slows down a bit, I can make it through all the beautiful words that you have written the past few months... My regards, Take Care, Sudhir. |

In case you haven't noticed, you touch so very many of us... and sometimes leave me wondering how you write my heart so well without having ever met me. *S* So whoever the someone is who gave you back the gift you give so generously, I thank her. *S* |
