i know that you require much more than this-- a tangible world an old fashioned bliss the distance between keeps your heart at bay you wont allow your heart to stay i cannnot ask my heart to wait another moment may be too late i've already fallen once-- or twice, before only to reach your closed guarded door i know you require more than this the warmth of body blissful kiss, for love to be a truth you know for something valuable to grow i've come to realize that i do too... i've dwelled in lonely while love waits for you when you come by here call out to me i'll always hear you just wait and see but love you, i cannot with this perpetual ache these moments of breakdown-- more than i can take i took my risks in loving you-- a thing you told me not to do but i dont own my heart, you see-- please love, give it back to me... i'll mend it a little it'll be ok i dont blame you for my loving you this way i'll learn to love you as my dear friend for friendship doesnt have to end i'll hold you in the soul of me if you'll let me i'd like for it to be go now, and find your tangible space touch love up close kiss lips of face i know love, both of us needs more i'm letting go-- but not locking the door... -dgvarner 9-2-01 ~dgvarner/fallen rain~ |

Dg, I had to say this to the man I loved three years ago. It was the hardest thing I'd ever had to do, but he and I've remained in touch. I know that I am a better person for having been in love with him, but also happy for him as he is now happily married to another. I understand your pain. Dawn |

You know, it's a shame that something beautiful can be so sad --- then again, it's wonderful that even sadness can be made so beautiful. jwesley |

"i've dwelled in lonely while love waits for you" Those lines are so beautiful in their sadness... this whole poem is simply beautiful. You've touched something in me with this one. In "closing the door" to one world... one love... you've shown the way to another. I agree... one of your best! I'll be bookmarking this one - Jeff |

dg- Hmmmmmm...well, I thought I had replied to this! LOL! So...I will NOW! I really like this one lots! Sometimes letting go is the most difficult thing to do even when we know it's the best thing for all concerned. But, then...you know that. Of course...you KNOW I can feel this one way down deep. Awesome write! Love and hugs, ~vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 09-06-2001).] |
