Winters Love Reflected As I sit with thoughts of you, Wind of howling, lovers blue Think of me, of hearts on fire Take this flame, take my desire Hold me like the ground to snow Not like loves gone long ago When you dream take me along When you sing, make me the song Nuzzle deep into my skin Take me to a new begin As the snow falls to the ground Hold me to this new love found See the sky the stars shine bright Hold me to that candle light Ride with me on waves of love Come with me soar to above When the night seems oh so long When the world seems oh so wrong Take a love and hold it there Take my love, enough to share If the wave soars to a crest And if the sun sets in the west Know I gave my heart to you Take it, hold it, keep it, do As your heartbeat echoes near I can feel its hold my dear Hold my heart there next to yours Gently hold as love it soars Take this fairytale for two Lovers dream for me and you If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

When you dream take me along When you sing, make me the song Nuzzle deep into my skin Take me to a new begin As the snow falls to the ground Hold me to this new love found See the sky the stars shine bright Hold me to that candle light ======================================= well this is lovely...in its cadence and in its imagery and especially in its devotion. Someone is well inspired and all a glow looks like a warm winter LOL very cool poem poetess Tracey. You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do. |

When the night seems oh so long When the world seems oh so wrong Take a love and hold it there Take my love, enough to share Would it make any sense to say that your poetry gives me back moments that I'd thought stolen, gone forever? Your heart, your talent...are rare. Thanks, Trace for so often turning the wrong around and making the winter...warmer. |

I'm not big on gushy verse, but you have one line here that I find extraordinarily good: "Hold me like the ground to snow". Bravo! Glenn Logan |

JM, thank you so much..yes, I was well inspired for this one Craig, yes, we will see if the winter wishes come true. Love your blinding reflection line. Sandra, I hope both our wishes come true. Tuesday brings a new year and I don’t think either of us will be sorry to see the old one go. Ariana, thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate them greatly. Seymour, from you, who write such incredible romantic verse…so glad you enjoyed this one Noah, you are so sweet. Yes, lets hope both our dreams come true. Duncan, yes, it would make very much sense. And thank you for the times you have been there for me too. Do you think the warm winter we are having has anything to do with us?? Glenn, thank you so much for your comments. Glad you found something that hit you in it. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? [This message has been edited by Tracey (12-27-2001 12:17 PM).] |

"If the wave soars to a crest And if the sun sets in the west Know I gave my heart to you Take it, hold it, keep it, do As your heartbeat echoes near I can feel its hold my dear Hold my heart there next to yours Gently hold as love it soars Take this fairytale for two Lovers dream for me and you" Wow... this is an amazing piece. In addition to the fact that the technical side of this poem is flawless, the images that nostalgia that you conjure up in my mind are breathtaking. Thank you for this trip down memory-lane. I loved this... --Marie "It's been a long December, and there's reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last." (Counting Crows) |

Kacy, yes, a serious lovers dream. Remains to see whether dreams come true though Larry, so, you were buying it were you? Lol. Nevermind, fairytales are so pretty though aren’t they? Think I’ll find myself one to live in one of these days. Michael, yes, that was one of my favourite lines too. Thank you for reading my friend. And so glad you are still here. Marie, thank you so much for those wonderful words. Glad it took you down memory lane. A big welcome to you, so nice to see new poets Ivy Rose, I’m so glad you enjoyed this piece. And a big welcome to the forums to you. Duncan, yes, I know. It only takes one to hold a dream, but it takes two to make a dream come true. Though, that makes me think of a song I know, “you’ve got to have a dream, if you don’t have a dream, how you going to have a dream come true”. Nancy, I am so flattered by your comments. Thank you so much Walker, thank you so much for reading. So glad you liked it EagleOne, thank you for the wow, and for reading Rex, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Michael, coming from such a talented poet, I value this praise very highly If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

If the wave soars to a crest And if the sun sets in the west Know I gave my heart to you Take it, hold it, keep it, do As your heartbeat echoes near I can feel its hold my dear Hold my heart there next to yours Gently hold as love it soars Take this fairytale for two Lovers dream for me and you Is it August, yet?
