you are liquid loveliness and my eyes drink you drink you while the world fades into a softer focus and there is only this the flowing warmth of you that nourishes my soul |

Ed, this is a very soft and tender romantic poem....and this hopeless romantic loves it. This is a side of you that you don't show very often. It's very becoming.... Oh, a nice picture, too. Hugs, Ethel |

You know, I've been reading alot of your stuff, and I bet with words like this, you can just about get anything you want out of a woman, huh? You're one smooth talker, and boy, talk about TALENT! So much talent, you probably don't know what to do with yourself! HA HA HA Keep up the fabulous work sir, I enjoy every piece!

I have to agree with Sunshine. But I am so glad to see such romance in your writing. It seems to me that ericc doesn't have the patent on romantic poetry. -Patricia |

And she's right. It was whispered to the woman I love....not these exact words, but close enough. ....and much later, whispered again as I wrote it. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
