Making Love -always this ridiculous obsession with love Moulin Rouge -not with a bang but a whimper T.S. Eliot Love defined: a lesser knead Love we breathe yet, love we leave Love defined: a lesser shade but what if Love Is all we’ve made? Some would scoff Yet some would cough And pat us on the sleeve How can I Write of Love When plastered walls And smoke above Affix their terms Where eyes enfold Cannot disguise A strangled hold For Love is tender paradox Some would keep it in a box Where tissue waits in fond farewell For some it’s just a kiss and tell Here, I’ve taken on this fate To be the one who’ll always wait Love is waving in my face I cannot breathe I cannot place I only know my heart will race Race to write it down for now Race to weave a knitted brow [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (01-28-2002 03:03 PM).] |

![]() ![]() ![]() BRAVO!!! Wow, this is soooooooo powerfully expressed, sweet friend, I've never seen love at this way, but I know deep down if we continue to breathe love and wear our heart upon our sleeve while both protecting it with reason, we will find happiness and true love always! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walter, thank you for sharing! ![]() ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

For Love is tender paradox Some would keep it in a box Where tissue waits in fond farewell For some it’s just a kiss and tell I wish love was waving in my face..but other than that..I loved the above verse and you did a wonderful job expressing love.. *s Maureen |
