The way I sometimes cry Tears cannot describe For we still seek real holding And I fear that I may die The way I sometimes feel Lonely neither can describe It's an ache and longing For you and it's so real So I write my poetry And neither can it do Justice to the feelings felt When I think of you It doesn't nearly tell the world My addictive need to pen My thoughts of you on paper As I sit here in my den For you are my only comfort All the ease my heart can find All that keeps me in my sleep Or when my waking moments bind Inspiration's often lacking When I want to write of you When my muse abandons me And I sit idly blue I want to tell of my desire for you To put my fire in words To let all its intensity Fly out like flocks of birds To tell you that I love you Can't express my fullest thought Love is just not word enough To tell the love you've wrought So I'm stuck sometimes with paltry rhymes At times when my words fail When images of butterflies Or waterfalls won't sail All I can give this moment All God's given me to write That you're my lovely Gueniviere And I'm your Lochinvar this night There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~Janet Mar |

...but I do believe... you just did... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Bill..The first stanza of this poem made me want to cry too... Your feelins are not paultry, nor are your rhymes...This poem is a painting of love felt and expressed beautifully. |

Wil, my word! There's a plague of passionate, powerful, poetry going around this site and this is no exception. Write on Kethry Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

To tell you that I love you Can't express my fullest thought Love is just not word enough To tell the love you've wrought So I'm stuck sometimes with paltry rhymes At times when my words fail When images of butterflies Or waterfalls won't sail All I can give this moment All God's given me to write That you're my lovely Gueniviere And I'm your Lochinvar this night ================ well you KNOW Im loving this right.. Its so cool to see "my" poetry thru another poets eyes...this is beautiful Bill, written with all the love and desperation of Romeo and Juliet ... wonderful emoitve romantic bittersweet piece thank you for allowing my words to inspire you and for sharing it. later-Lochinvar-gator  jm I looked into the sky for my anthem The words and music came through But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen Looking into you |

I know you'll always have your muse just close your eyes and she'll be there your pen and heart are joined so the words will always flow. |

Well I am new here, and have only heard of the love for you all these people have for you Bill. I have no words of my own so if I may, I will quote yours: "To tell you that I love you Can't express my fullest thought Love is just not word enough To tell the love you've wrought", It would appear that there is a huge outcrying of love for you, and no one seems to be stuck for words in telling you that they care, love your work and you. I send you some strength and will keep you in my prayers. This was a poem that said more of love than I have read in a very long time. Take care. If I made you smile today then I did my job! |
