Looking at you brings such pleasure to these eyes I concentrate intensely that I might memorize Every single detail. It's with greatest affection I gaze at you and I see perfection. Is there a sweeter sound on this earth than your voice? My answer has to be "no" for given the choice The sounds from your throat would be filling my ears Through every moment of my remaining years. And when I rest my head upon your chest I hear the sound of your heart and it's a caress Reminding me of just why I exist I inhale joy's scent as I leave a soft kiss. Whether we're together or too far apart I carry you in me - you fill my heart And with every breath, I embrace the immense pleasure Of occupying my thoughts with such a treasure. |

Suthern beloved heart Truly this is exquisite writing, as always you pass all expectation and lift your poetic soul to paint a picture that knocks me out. How do you manage to write so well and always manage to make it look easy when I know its not. I love this utterly utterly. Thank you for the blessing of your beautiful words, they caress my soul with a dew of wonder thank you for this is real beauty. I knew seeing your name I was in for a real treat, and of course I wasn’t wrong  Love and warm stuff as always Mushy  Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

It's with greatest affection I gaze at you and I see perfection. =============================== well that says it all ... now if ya can take your eyes off of Mr Perfection...  gaze up a couple states to the northeast of you....do ya see me? ... here in Mothsouri? can you see me smiling at the rapture of your rhymes. very very happy for ya Ruth-girlie...contentment looks reeeealllly good on your pen. It's over long before her fall from grace, she's never been this far from safe. Trying to see where it all began, she'll never be the same again.

Suthern, your words speak highly of a treasured person. Keep them, for they should be placed within the hand of one who is loved so well.. |
