(with apologies to the voice of an angel... Andrea Bocelli *S*) There are places that these feet Will never go But I'll still know I travel in your heart. Beautiful sights these eyes Will never see You'll view for me Our spirits never part. So soft against your shoulders I gently breathe For I believe In how much we both care But if I feel the aching Of soul in weep I shall not sleep Until my arms are there.

ah lady...excepting for your words so hauntingly beautiful and knowing how true your heart is, today I would claim this 'love' does not exist....sigh |

But I'll still know I travel in your heart. Beautiful sights these eyes Will never see You'll view for me Our spirits never part. So soft against your shoulders I gently breathe For I believe In how much we both care ============================== You were right..I wont need the knee pads... but not for the reason you gave...but because you have written a "soft place to fall"...a sigh of rhymes ... a commitment of heart in cadence. Its not often you post a poem speaking of this much inner contentment and you know that I understand as often my muse prefers the melancholy, tis a very lovely side of your poetry and makes me wonder what else you are hiding  OH CAPTAIN ....  I'll have to send thank you notes to him and the others who "nagged" you to post these hidden gems.No need to apologize for this one Ruth-girlie...tis a little slice of heaven. No matter what the differences |

'I gently breathe For I believe In how much we both care But if I feel the aching Of soul in weep I shall not sleep Until my arms are there.' Who wouldn't want to be loved like this?  |

"So soft against your shoulders I gently breathe For I believe In how much we both care But if I feel the aching Of soul in weep I shall not sleep Until my arms are there." This by someone who doubted she could write free verse..... It's beautiful, Suthern lady, and I hope you do more, just like this. You definitely have a touch. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

While I am writing my reply I am listening to "Con te partirò" ... and your beautiful words evoke the most wonderful discoveries we can make when traveling within each other, in love. Very lovely. Love, Margherita |

Suthern beloved one ahhhhhhhh how soft on my soul this fell, and yes it is so much you. When I was walking in the shadow-lands not so long ago I felt always your hand ready to steady me whenever I became disorientated and began to wander from the path. Everyone said to me time will heal, but it was your voice, which kept me safe in the dead of night, we may have been oceans apart but you guided me to a safe harbour. You with my beloved Keth kept my soul safe from the dark that beckoned me to stay. You are the breeze that flows through the trees whispering of hope and light, you are the light that shines within my soul on the darkest night, you are the music that stirs my heart, you are wonderful. And yes I am biased but also very truthful you truly are Love personified.  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Margherita: Your response pleases me so... I thought this was written... but then listened to Bocelli and shuddered at the inadequacy of the poem. So I ditched the format I'd tried to use... let it flow... and thank you so much for liking! *S* vandana: Thank you... I'm glad! *S* Marsha: You don't know how glad I am to see your load lightened and path easier these days, dear lady. *S* Thank you so much! *S* icebox: To know this shares joy... I thank you so very much! *S* |
