Each verse takes me on a journey To another time, another place Feelings so warm and tender As a gentle breeze across my face I'm transported to a land of romance As I dance upon his words His tales have me mesmerised It's like I'm flying with the birds Images of a love so timeless Of two lovers beside the sea He paints many beautiful visions Such lasting impressions they give to me I read his words of romance And they always make me swoon My spirit soars so high As it attempts to reach the moon He is a humble man of honour With a heart so warm and true I'm so proud to write beside him Upon these pages of powder blue * * * To my dear friend, Barry, You have been a constant source of inspiration for me from my very humble beginnings and I just wanted to thank you for your words of encouragement Suetang |

Sue, this is just a beautiful dedication to a very humble man who truly deserves it. He is so loving and kind and always there to offer a hand, a smile or a few kind words. I am sure he is going to be very pleased with this! Lovely descriptive writing, as well! |

I wanted to reply in a poem to you... I can't....words don't come to mind that I can express well enough as a poem.... Sue, it is you who are the inspiration.. For each and every one of us... Your love of us, of all mankind are what inspires me and others as well. I write from feelings, from experiences and from within myself... I will continue to share the visions I see and feel... I am very very humbled by this poem...and very grateful for your kindness... Thank You...I can't say that enough... |

He does it, doesn't he, with great style and aplomb, writing of long ago, making it feel like we just walked away from yesterday moments ago... this is a wonderful tribute...thank you |

Sue...this is for you!!! Magnus From Knights of Old and maids fair to romance lost and found with a flair From dreams that take you into flight to visions born within one’s own sight. Journeys into times of his lost past and treks through arid deserts last The black holes of the cosmos there upon the back of a rocketeer to where? Tearful goodbyes from Jane to Jack written fears from heart without lack Songs of melody sharing last dance hoping love blooms, one more chance Love, life, liberty...the kids and wife parts of his history, parts of his life Thoughts of those he once dearly knew Letting the dove fly and return again too A lighthouse upon the cliffs from up high A sparkle, gleam, love and tear in an eye Words of chivalry, winged dragons too All parts of his poetry...he gives to you Enjoying all of the warmth conveyed reasons to remember, reasons he stayed Cherishing the thoughts written to him Saying truthfully, Sue...you are a gem! |

I'm so glad that so many of you agreed with my words and thank you for your lovely comments. Barry - What can I say? You moved me to tears with what you wrote, good tears though. It never ceases to amaze me how much warmth and love I have found here at PIP and as I said I am truly humbled and honoured to be sharing these pages with the likes of you. Thank you my friend. Take care......Sue Suetang |
