on this page I find that my heart is all too often revealed to all of you it's right here in these words in the form of this verse as it falls down the page under your ever watchful eyes these words and my heart penned in letters of bluest blue and reddest red they are here, side by side for you to see that my life isn't so different from your own that my heart isn't that different from your own it bleeds, like yours does it loves, like yours does and most of all it writes, like yours does it writes of other hearts once known and of hearts yet to be known it writes of things that I can say and of things that I cannot say it speaks, although, with a voice that can't be heard by normal ears only the poet's hearing the hearing of other like hearts and minds can pick up all the nuance the subtlety the pain of a fellow heart that has known love too like it has that is why I must try to shield my heart from you perhaps, if I use a different style of word another way to write my thoughts so that I could tell you what's on my mind wihout any wondering or speculation as to the desires and feelings of my heart a heart, that I would probably still show much of to you all in these words ------------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sven... Any one of us could have written this same poem, maybe slightly different from your own words...but certainly with the same thoughts in mind...and in heart... I hear the poet's heart...your heart... through these common words expressed. |

You can't hide your heart when you write poetry. This is very well done. Nan |

John, this is just another piece of your work in how well you bond with others, and how you still are much like we all are here. We are all alike in so many ways. You paint a beautiful and very vivid picture of your genuine heart as always.

There is a beautiful web of hearts here Sven and they expose so many of life's complicated but loving situations. It is a pleasure to read them and gain insight into the gifts of our fellow poets. As far as your heart goes it's one of the purest and I've thought that since I joined here a couple of years ago. That's the best reply I can think of, heart to heart....in these words! |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Sven, I couldn't agree with you more, sweet friend, I must confess that naturally I am a shy person by nature but you and everyone here is like a second family of many brothers and sisters to me and I feel I have the courage to say so much here always! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are a true delight on all these pages, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sometimes, we can play with words and reveal little... other times, our heart pours out whether we want it to or not. *S* Other times, we find a balance... and find treats we didn't know our mind had hiding. *S* I like this, Sven... and understand... and wait to see what treasures are unearthed by your search. *S* |

thank you all my friends. . . indeed, there is much within my own heart. . . both good and bad. . . hopefully, I've been able to show you more of the good. . . but, there are times when my heart is heavy. . . and the weight can only be removed through the words. . . words that I don't always understand, but that are there, and that come forth. . . and that is the time that I am thankful that I have somewhere to put them all. . . and that understanding comes from hearing them. . . thank you all. . . your words help me. . . and I'm glad to know that mine help you (to some small degree) as well. . . ------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.
