I love you
in ways words fail
to express,
in our silence,
and through every tear
shed by your absence.

You confess
sorrow clouding
your true worth.
In the solitary hour
I shall be
your witness,
captive to
your divine stir,
For I love you
and love you
ever more  
whispering
undying poetry.

heaven is dawning now
before her he gives his bow
he's in love, somehow

and I enjoyed this all the way!

Well you know how to warm a girl's heart!  

I enjoyed the read

Beautiful, brian---and such a Goddess deserves this sweet worship!!! Hugs to you, hoping too that your time apart will be short and time together sweeter than the sweetest dream.

your Goddess inspires beautiful things in you Bri-gator...

this is sincere and lovely...why I bet you'll be writing of petals again soon  
very sweet Brian...I like this side of your poetry
me

We're all feeding our lonely like it might go away,
Like the doors of heaven will swing wide open if we just find the right words to say.

James, thank you for those very kind words.

Jan, petals? oh god I might be, but I don't want to get too clichéd. Thanks.

Munda, I am speechless, thanks.

Sven, "shock" you mean I am romantic poet now?  I have always worn my heart on my sleeve even if it was gift wrapped on metaphor. Well I am proud to be part of the gang. Thanks.

Melissa, thanks for your warm words. I hope to show of this side of me, if my muse agrees.

Mysteria, thanks, I am lucky that I found someone who will put up with me.
