Somewhere she hides, but I know she is the one My hunger for her explains everything I've done I long to lay in my true love's arms I long to succumb to her womanly charms Yet my quest for her has caused nothing but harm And where once was hope, now there is none I always thought you'd be there by my side but in my effort to find the truth, I lied I try to believe that our time isn't through I try to have faith that I'll still find you But my heart has grown cold; I know not what to do For want of something beautiful, my soul has been denied |

Sad, Jeffy  I hope this isn't a "you" poem.  I miss our chats, and hope to see you around more often. This doesn't seem finished to me. It begs to have more written with it. Either by you or by you and someone else. Enjoyed. Jenn I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement. |

Perhaps far too easy to say look for the beauty inside... true riches are almost never on the surface.... |

Jenn, Yes, this is a "me" poem unfortunately. The stresses of my emotional situation have found their way into my writings again. But I've also found that writing about them helps relieve the stress - cathartic  I agree that this poem feels undone but I was at a loss for more words when I wrote it. Please feel free to add to or experiment with it. So... who did you have in mind for me to duet with? hmmmmmm?  I have missed you too..looking forward to chatting with you... - Jeff James, Glad you enjoyed Lady, Yes, I have found that the greatest treasures are the hidden ones... it's finding them... |

Rosepetal, Thanks for your kind words. I still believe that happiness will one day be mine; it's just the waiting and wondering... Me handsome?  Are you sure you're looking at MY picture? lol- Jeff |

I enjoyed this one. I liked the rhyme scheme and the feeling in the poem. You have to make your own happiness, you know. You can't wait for someone else to do it. Just my little spot of wisdom for the day. Nan(Pilgrim variety) |
