Have you ever missed the words when the one you love is talking been so entranced by the sound or the beauty of the face in motion Have you ever lost your thought at the wisdom that you're hearing thought only of your luck at being loved by one endearing If you're hearing words of love as your loved one speaks so softly can you concentrate on content or just how you feel warmly If you're faced with bared flesh glowing or eyes sparkling with love's dewdrops If the touch you feel is burning Do you pull out all the stops Or do you react as I do saving rational till last give yourself into the moment know the afterglow holds fast Know in those after moments you can speak with cogent tongue or is your control so fix-ed you can let words always run My loved one's loved with desperation she is everything to me she's part of every cogitation she fills my heart with glee Every move and every gesture Every word from out her throat Every flash of eye, each texture Every way she does emote For love's more than passing fancy more than dancing under stars more than standing in the shore's swells more than flying off to Mars She stretches to Omega - she's my zenith my infinity before time was she is my life That's how I hear her - see? Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

Wilfred~ I think they call it mesmerized ...! And that's what your thoughts did for me ! Nicely portrayed emotion. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Wilfred, amazing! you mixed tenses and made the love sound so desirable. Although if someone told me I was their zenith when I spoke I would never shut up!  write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |
