Ok, yet another to add to the list..I don't know the last few I've done I just really thought haven't been up to snuff so to speak but I thought this one was really sweet, tell me what you think!

I look at you, staring at me
Holding my hand by firelight
Your Pinochio nose
and Coffie flavored lips
show the character I seek
you speak of your goals of a future untold
and show me the things of your dreams
You heartily tell me of your love for the hunt
with your bow so strong and so true
and you sigh with quiet happiness
as I tell my dreams to you
you playfully remember a memory past
where you galloped amongst the trees
and the look on your face I'll never forget
when I told you I too, did such things
Your obediant warmth seeped into my core
As by the glow of the fire we sat
looking upon a nightime sky
waiting for a shooting star to pass
We spoke of the things that bring simple pleasures
Like the trees in the fall and our favorite drink
We talked of songs and life and of love
and through this our souls were linked
we watched the first rays of the sun
peek over the mountains so bright
and I looked at you,
staring at me...
holding my hand
...by firelight

Once again your work amazes me.  I'll agree with the above post in sayin that the end is definatly stronger then the beginning.  I still loved the poem, it definatly had meaning behind it .  Best of luck with your "stupid" boy hun.  Your honey bear.

Work like you don't need the moeny, dance like no one is watching, Sing like your all alone, and love like you've never been hurt.

I LOVE this.  I must agree with the others that the end is much more capturing than the beginning but it's great.  It really moved my heart

Hey babe! Beautiful poem. I really enjoyed it. And like others said, beginning was weaker than the end, but it was still a good read. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I read it the first time you posted it, but you know me and technology. Heh.. it rhymed, I could be Dr. Suess... Anyhoo, have a spiffy day!
