Dear Gabriella,


I only have a little while before I go away
I really miss your lovely smile each and every day
I hope that you are doing fine and that your getting by
I hope this letter will not make you sad and want to cry

It’s just that I’m not really sure, if everything will be?
But let’s not worry now about? We’ll have to wait and see
But ‘fore I go and fight again, there’s something I must do
I want to tell you just how much, I really care for you

And so just try and think of me, when your alone at night
I’m that pillow that your holding onto very tight
Please don’t ever let me go,  I‘ll never walk away
I promise that my love for you won’t leave, and always stays

I wish that I could tell you that, together we will be
But even if I can’t, please know how much you mean to me
And so I wrote this letter, and I hope that it will do
But if somehow I can't return, please know these words are true

That your love’s like a balmy breeze, that hushes all the while
Swaying palm trees back and forth, on lush deserted isles
Love that’s like a sweet caress, that tingles with delight
Hugs that reach down to my core, and warm my soul at night

Your love is like a shooting star, that soared right through my sky
A galactic crime of passion needless of an alibi
Your love is like a feisty mare’s, unbridled ecstasy
That soared across the heavens, in some Greek mythology

Your love is like a raging storm, that thrashes through the night
A fierce and wanton fury that, keeps lovers close and tight
Love that’s like a hurricane, tempestuous and strong
Encircling a heart, that has a silent peaceful calm.

Love just like a rainy day, that purifies the sky
Clearing up my muddied views, that taint and smear my eyes
Your love is like a flower on a cloudless sunny day
That opens up to ardent warmth, then droops, when its away

Your love is like a friend you see, who’s been gone for a while
That listens to your feelings, and then leaves you with a smile
Your love is like a roller coaster, with it’s highs and lows
Sharing of our joys and sorrows, bringing us so close

Your love is like that gentle touch, that soothes away the pain
That lifts off heavy burdens, and unshackles hardened chains
Your love is like a waterfall, that flows into my heart
An endless stream of passion, that my love for you imparts

Your love is like a raging fire, burning in my heart
A kindling of passion waiting, for two sparks to start
Your love is like a fantasy, a sweet alluring dream
Where passion is a river wild, and true love reigns supreme

Your love is like a sweet ballet...

That dances tenderly...


And tells about a lover’s tale...

The tale, of you and me...
Forever And Always,

Your Antonio

Thank You Passing Shadows and Sunshine!

I had this one poem I had written a while ago. That I felt needed a little something to kind of set it up. And I came up with this idea to try and turn it into a letter from this fellah, to the love of his life. He is getting ready to go into battle again, and he isn’t sure if he will ever see her again. And so, he writes her to profess his undeniable love for her.

I hope that helps make a little sense out of it??? lol

It’s "kind of" a looooong, poem...lol

Oh well...


Oh Gosh, my mug shot finally got uploaded... YIKES!

I had been having trouble getting that to work... Thanks Ron!  Or whoever else it was who finally figured that out for me...

Richy, may I start off by saying, you have a wonderful face!--It matches your wonderful poetry!

I love how you presented this poem in the form of a letter. It really worked out well!
Incredibly romantic! I had all sorts of emotions gushing out of me as I read this exceptionally lovely letter of love.

Love & Romance,
EA

Richy,

Your work is very warm and heartfelt.  I am sure that whoever your special woman is, she knows that she is lucky!  You have a gift for writing your feelings.  I'm sure your lady will appreciate that because if you don't speak them...you sure can write them.  We women are always looking for a man who can talk about the way he feels.

Good Job!

tugs at my heart.
This is a love letter that I would have wished to someday receive.(except for the battle) No one could express their love for another as well as these words of yours,Richy.

Richy,

You are wonderfully romantic.  I love how you speak of love in all of your poetry.

By the way, you have a very kind face.  But what did I expect?  Anybody that has shown the kindness to me that you have, should have a sweet, kind face like yours.

Love,
-Patricia

Nancy, is that what that sound was???  I wasn’t sure what it was, but it sure gave me a real warm feeling, just like your comments always do

Thanks James, your always so kind to reply

That is such a nice thing to say nakedthoughts,  you are just so kind, thank you!

Thanks Patricia, like I told you before, what some people write about most, is what is lacking the most, in their lives?
