A Poet's Heart Take a look through poet's eyes And see the beauty of clear skies The grace of seagull as she flies The awe, the wonder and suprise All through this poet's eyes Listen through this poet's ears To sounds that you may never hear The whisper of the warm sea air The heart that sings when you are near All through this poet's ears Feel through the touch of poet's hands The grainy roughness of white sands The dew laced tips of roses and Gentle caress on skin now tanned All through this poet's hands Know that in this poet's mind Lie memories I've left behind Of prior lives once not so kind Hid so no other soul could find Deep in this poet's mind Sense that in this poet's heart I've mended places torn apart And ripped in two by love's cruel dart To give myself a brand new start Here in this poet's heart See me through a poet's eyes As words hear whispers of the wise And touch me with a poet's hand Your mind open to understand Then promise me right from the start You'll love me with a poet's heart |

Feel through the touch of poet's hands The grainy roughness of white sands The dew laced tips of roses and Gentle caress on skin now tanned All through this poet's hands ================================= Oh I do ... I do...every day ...when I walk on the beaches of understand...here in this place I call poetry land.  Love this theme and rhyme scheme Ruth-girlie...and seeing you post more often too.  |

"See me through a poet's eyes As words hear whispers of the wise And touch me with a poet's hand Your mind open to understand Then promise me right from the start You'll love me with a poet's heart"  (smiles) Oh Ruth, this is sooooooo beautiful, yes, from one poets heart to another, we will always love you so much and we will always be here to help you when parts of your heart cry!

Hello Ruth There were so many truths in your words that I for one could so easily relate. I guess we all see inside one another's souls through our writing, a place many don't see. There are so many people in my life who don't even know I write but I feel so much comfort here at PIP and through the words of others. Take care......Sue Suetang |
