This one is for all the ladies here who may doubt that "good guys" still exist. It was suggested recently (in a good way, mind you) that I "think too much", so here's one that showcases the heart, for a change: "THINKING OF YOU" Often I reflect On the time together spent Though only for a while How quickly by it went Still, in those precious moments Others fail to see I savoured every second In your company Your words contained the essence Of a summer's gentle breeze They soothed my soul like music: And made me feel at ease Your velvet lips enticed me With their fragile dance Like gazing at a candle, They put me in a trance The purring of your voice The Life within your smile And through your eyes, I glimpsed your soul Which left me so beguiled Yes, I want to know you better I yearn to be with you To hear all that you have to tell And share what you find true Remember that you have a friend Not just for Valentine's Day But for any time you have the need I'm just a call away. (Coyright 1993 by: MARK V SHELDON) "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Your words contained the essence Of a summer's gentle breeze They soothed my soul like music: And made me feel at ease Your velvet lips enticed me With their fragile dance Like gazing at a candle, They put me in a trance The purring of your voice The Life within your smile And through your eyes, I glimpsed your soul Which left me so beguiled ========================= Well it doesnt get any better than this... lovely cadence kissed poem of devotion and admiration.... and yep...us Ladies need this sometimes... a little more can go a long way. Well done poet sir ![]() jm I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep. |

Thank you kindly, SEA... I am honored. Feels good to brush the dust off of these and share them. Betty Lou, thank you for your feedback. I have many more to post -- thanks for watching! JM, I am most flattered, coming from your talented mind. A heart-felt thank you. I'm inspired to share some more. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Mark, you think just right..not too much. ![]() And as one of the Passions ladies, I am glad to know there are good men left in the world. If not for this place, however, I would have to doubt it. Sweet poem for someone loved. Did she ever get to see it? Sandra |

Thank you, Sandra. As I've commented before, I find it very sad to see the "reality" for myself, as well as reading it in the poems of so many ladies here... now you get a glimpse of one of the facets of inspiration behind my poem "THE LAST OF MY KIND". As for the recepient of "THINKING OF YOU", yes, she got it, but it didn't touch her to the degree I thought it might... oh well. Bob: Cheers, indeed! Sadly, Honor, Valiance, Truth, Chivalry, and Integrity seem to be constructs of only poems, nowadays. Vandana: thank you for another smile. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Thanks for reading, Fancy... sometimes, reflections are meant to be gentle... Tennessee Angel: keep that hope alive! It's time for the heart to steer and the mind to check the rear-view-mirror. Thank you for stopping by and sharing. Thank you kindly, Charisma. One of the greatest feelings I can think of is to share something and restore its life while inspiring another. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |
