Does the heart need
to hear a voice
to fall in love thus
Or should the heart
Feel unsaid words
Is this way for us

Can the soul
see a face
In the window of our eyes
Or does the soul
Know when
the written word lies

If you could but see
The me that hides
Here behind the screen
Would you then
Love me more
Than her that
You have seen

If love be found
In this worldly net
Would it be your seine
Or would you
Slip away to find
You’d loved her in vain

Sad longings, and yes the heart does need much. Mostly truth.

Hugs,

Sharon, it may have been hard to write, but the finished product was absolutely beautiful. And, you know I'm a "hopeless romantic", but I felt something from your poem. There was a wistful longing in it.....
Happy Valentine's Day, Lady...

Have I ever told you that you are one of the first poets that I used to look for before I ever joined this site? I found the main site of Passions In Poetry way before I knew there were these forums where everybody could post poems. I used to make e-cards with some of your romantic poems. I never thought then that I would be posting poems on this site....

This is heartbreaking, yet beautiful, Sharon.
It is a painful situation to be in,
and you've written it very well.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, my friend.
Hugs to you,
~Vicky
