A Poet I Am A poet I am, At least that’s what I’m told But dare I love a poet Could I truly be so bold To embrace in love’s sweet fire And fold with you in flame Again to glimpse the truth in broken light A vision lost within the game Frail Hearts hold fast in fading hope Precarious in suspend, line after line As the endless subtleties abound Scribbled in blue, hidden in the rhyme Is this just another distant fantasy Waiting in love, never to be revealed Leaving us once more to speculate What it is we really feel Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller [This message has been edited by EagleOne (05-12-2002 12:52 AM).] |

Well now, isn't this something to think about! I was reading Nora Roberts today, and she wrote something to the effect that only poets dream in color, after all her heroine was a grown woman!  Your poem triggered that thought again, and I liked it very much! |

Eddie darling boy, I’m completely awed by this delight. Oh how you write, and how much I love it when you do so. Phrases as elegant as only you know how to present them, flow like a clear stream of liquid light, words placed with the delicacy of a master confectioner places his sugared violets. This is utterly utterly divine. Purely magical darling boy, utter bliss  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy   To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

You have perfectly said what it is to be a poet....So often, we read or write and the interpretation can be totally different between different readers... Such is the mystery of poets and poetry.. Thanx for this one...very well said.. |

To embrace in love's sweet fire And fold with you in flame Again to glimpse the truth in broken light A vision lost within the game Frail Hearts hold fast in fading hope Precarious in suspend, line after line As the endless subtleties abound Scribbled in blue, hidden in the rhyme ============================ Well its about time you started listening to me POET SIR (ya knew I wasnt gonna let that go by)  Eddie ... this is a wonderful write...I love the poet loving a poet theme...and the lovely phrasing you wrapped the emotions up in. As for should a poet dare love a poet? How can ya not????? ( think of it this way... not much chance of running out of things to say) Love your new signature too!! |

Eddie, how on earth can one poet not love another poet? *this one left me smiling* *and thinking*But then again, you would be reading things into each others words not necessarily there.. Also, that could happen with anyone, right? Oh..I am starting to ramble...I'll be off then... This is very very good.... I too love the new sig line! ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Eddie, I believe with all my heart a poet can always love another poet, for I love one poet so much who I dream of having forever close to my heart, Joanna, who always cheers me up when she's around and I'm feeling sad! (smiles) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eddie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Hello Eddie You were so 'spot on' with all you said and how well I could relate. Your words were definitely food for thought and contained many truths. Take care......Sue Suetang |

Frail Hearts hold fast in fading hope Precarious in suspend, line after line As the endless subtleties abound Scribbled in blue, hidden in the rhyme ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And this is the mystery of a poet. Words that tumble in lines of fantasy or written from a heart so true. Deb |

Is this just another distant fantasy Waiting in love, never to be revealed Leaving us once more to speculate What it is we really feel'' Very thought provoking....nice words here EO~ Lauren~ I would rather have one breath of his hair, |

"Leaving us once more to speculate What it is we really feel" Aint that the truth...sometimes you get lost in the words and forget...words are a way of life to a poet...so is it real? Or is it just another poem? |

I thank you all for your time and your thoughts, both are much appreciated! It’s heartening to know you enjoyed and that you found something in the words to make you think. Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller |
