Deep in the heart

0 posted 2002-05-30 10:41 AM

Why
all the silence?
I do not
whisper
my love for you,
I shout
it at the top
of my lungs.
I LOVE YOU!
I
LOVE
YOU!
Must you do
less?
If so,
goodbye.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Here, behind the screen
I walk moonlit sky
A soft touch unseen
Weeping from goodbye

HUGS...you are just wonderful and always inspire soft, sensual thoughts in me...thank you, sweet man...

your face warmed by sun
and your heart by me

darkness drifts away
tears are all wiped dry
the warmth of your words
bring a soft reply

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Bob darling boy now this is superb writing, the flow is divine the form is excellent. As always your writing is utterly utterly wonderful darling heart, you never fail to make me smile. You never write anything less than your best and this is exquisite, a smile just waiting to blossom. I love it utterly

whisper the word yes
feel it like a soft caress
stirring in your heart

You know I can’t do senryu very well, but for your darling heart I’ll make an effort. This is utterly utterly wonderful Mmmmm indeed it’s delicious and I love it

I love it utterly utterly love it

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

I believe that timing is very important also...of course if we want to shout it from the rooftops we want them to feel the same...but it takes time to actually build a real relationship...the question is do you have the time to invest to see what will happen...or should I say are you willing to take the risk....
Don't mind me I get all of these kind of thoughts myself when the slightest thing goes wrong in a relationship....James

I couldn't agree more. I never write about one night stands though some have probably thought that. I speak of mature, resposible, responsive, and mutual love ... always

I've lived your poem... and goodbye is what got said...but I couldn't settle for the whisper, you know.

I'm adoring your poetry. You have much to tell.

Saying Goodbye is the hardest thing I have had to do lately. I had to say goodbye to not only an awesome and perfect teacher. But also a friend.

Godbless Ms. Chadwick I love You!

I know I read this one yesterday and would have sworn I'd responded... but I must have used disappearing ink?? *S*

The impact you've written doesn't disappear, though. *S* I wonder how many read this and think of times they should have said goodbye... and instead, kept loving and hoping and shouting themselves hoarse until the lack of reciprocation and echoing silence killed something inside.

Wonderful, really like how you do it with your style of writing.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

But goodbye is much better than "lets just be friends" which drages goodbye out longer and makes it more painful...
At least "goodbye" pulls the bandaid off swiftly.

Nice job interloper...
