Your hand upon mine lips upon lips sweet kiss eyes gazing into mine for all time If only . . . Soft sweet breath on a summers' day whisper of your hand upon my face longing to say If only . . . Lying together entwined in the cool grass the Sun smiling upon us at least once If only . . . Thank you Ethel Please see but one of her many writes which tell a tale of love . . . not lost - but found /pip/Forum79/HTML/001389.html [This message has been edited by littlewing (05-08-2003 04:00 PM).] |

![]() (smiles) Yay!!! Oh Sue, you have a golden heart that not only shines with wonderful poetry but also love and caring for others and I know Ethel will always cherish this and those who believe in what love can bring to every day that at first felt mundane! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

littlewing - you are truly a romantic, and each write is better than the last. Not to say that they are not well written for they are, but, well, they are more gooder... BC |

I think women portray the meaning of love better than men in general, and you've done it very well here. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Yes, love is really something... I like your description of it. Have you tried laying in the cool grass at midnight? It's a lot nicer than just baking out in the sun... you know, gaze up at the stars. As long as there's no mosquitoes where you are. Loved the images in this poem... nicely written. ![]() Parasite Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. |

littlewing, this was very lovely, your talent shows loving that is there to share, a desire to say yes, but with hesitation, if only you would take a chance, feel your way to true romance. I enjoyed this, thanks for that. Sincerely Rick |

This is soft and sweet. What a summer day you have created here with Ethel's inspiration. Darn, I can't seem to get him off of mind this morning...now I picture us as the couple in this poem. Gosh, I wish he'd call. LOL -Patricia |
