I am led along the river Through the park Beyond the green grass Then over the bridge To the other side He sits there patiently Awaiting my arrival Watching me walk Across the foot bridge That leads me to him As I approach the table He smiles and says hi I am already smiling back Asking if he’s been waiting long He says no, not really For a moment It seems as if time Has stood still I am unaware Of the city around us Nothing exists beyond His sweet face I am brought back to reality By his tender touch On my cheek It’s as if he can gaze Into my very soul When he looks at me Those deep brown pools Transport me to his world In that world I am free to be myself No need to hide Or compromise my principles I am just Jennifer The woman he loves Happy, sad, good, or bad The way it is supposed to be With lovers and friends Unconditionally His honesty is refreshing Every word is sincere Straight from the heart Spoken softly to me Tickling my ear We sit together Watching the ducks As they frolic in the water Chasing each other Splashing around We are laughing At their playfulness Because in many ways It mirrors our own When it’s just us I find myself in his arms Head resting on his shoulder He caresses my hair As he tells me He is lucky to be here I bask in his praise But secretly it is I Who is giving thanks To be with him here On this beautiful day He alone has made My dreams come true By healing my heart With the precious gift Of his everlasting love Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

'For a moment It seems as if time Has stood still I am unaware Of the city around us Nothing exists beyond His sweet face I am brought back to reality By his tender touch On my cheek It’s as if he can gaze Into my very soul When he looks at me Those deep brown pools Transport me to his world' Beautiful romantic writing, LW! What a lovely picture you've given us! sp  to be with you... |

Kathleen - Thank you! There's a lot about me you still don't know, but we'll get there. I am very romantic when given the chance to be!!  Mysteria - I think it's a scene we've all seen many a time. Thanks! sp - I am happy to share lovely thoughts with all these lovely people here. I am happy you like it! I think this side of me is long overdue. BDC - I made your heart melt? Oh no!!! Didn't mean to do that!! Your heart is way to precious to melt. I will always ROAR my dear friend and I sincerely hope YOU do too. We deserve happiness and healing. Thank you so much for the reply. Hope all is well there. Miss you!! Dee - Thank you!! Someone wise once told me that if you wrote of your dreams, they will come true. I figure it's worth a shot!! Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 03-24-2001).] |

When ever I see the name Lone Wolf I think I am going to read a poem from a man. Then I see something like this and remember it is a lovely, romantic woman who uses that pen name. This is wonderful and I hope it lasts forever. Joyce |

LW, this is such a moving piece, one of which I can identify with soooo much right now. It is that feeling of thinking to one self....No I am the lucky one..... Truly wonderful penning.......into the library with this one......wonderful. Hugs On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |
