Part of the notebook series~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How I wish for rain again bringing your touch back to my memory a trickle a down pour drops I never knew how lonely felt until parted lips spoke of bending rainbows to fit what ever decision we had placed before time pressing my thoughts to your mind with yellow roses soft, sweet symbols completing how laughing in your tides, with brilliance, & beauty you captured me a photograph, canvas black and white floating in color with emeralds I linger there love that was felt tapping windows of your unforgettable smile when 'we' was feeling one peace how you held my tears when I cried close to heart for all the beautiful feelings when you whispered the ocean will never look the same in our eyes ~Sinking fast into an ocean of you, what if I told you, what if I said that I love you do we dare cross that line between your heart and mine~ [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (05-02-2002 10:52 AM).] |

Simply beautiful. To pick a favorite line was difficult, but it would have to be this one... "when 'we' was feeling one" Lauren, you must live near the ocean, as the sea is supposed to be an excellent source for inspiration. |

You know my philosophy: the more rain poems the better. This poem is proof that philosophy is sound. ![]() |

I have this idea for your first book Lauren. . . just like this. . . the "notebook" series. . . printed on notebook paper. . . in a binder. . . or something like that. . . the simplicity of it would betray the complexity of your words. . . which are excellent. . . ---------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

a lovely feeling is embodied in this one there are some excellent phrases and images it's like a gentle caress being stolen away almost before it can happen, leaving only longing in its wake Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Dear Greeneyes, I am sorry to say that this is the first time that I have read one of your postings, I enjoyed this work of yours so much, filled with expression and feeling, thoughts of remembered tenderness, of loneliness, of togetherness, peace and love; let the rain bring us all memories without the regrets. Enjoyed the read. Sincerely Rick |
