Up writing late, On Valentines eve Typing in monitor light; But fitting words escape- Me, disappear into night. Restless, I search The closet of my mind; But all I see Are wrinkled clothes, And none that fit well Enough to explain Exactly how I feel... (Wishing I were ee, for real) * "I do not know what it is about you that closes and opens; only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses." * Perhaps I should try To write a poem Of passion-heat, That still ignites My body, easily Still burns, When I touch you; After all these years? But instead, I am stealing A piece of a poesy, (Penned by Neruda; (He's better at telling) What I still love to do. * "Kiss by kiss I move across your small infinity, your borders, your rivers, your tiny villages, and the genital fire transformed into delight runs through the narrow pathways of the blood until it plunges down, like a dark carnation, until it is and is no more than a flash in the night." * Count the present As Eden, do not Think wrinkles, Turn away my eyes; I do not see your Perfection As gone, Have no fear.. What I mean Is better said By the prince of bards; In Shakespeare's, One, thirty, one. * "Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art, As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel; For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel." * Poets past, their true Words flow through me, Some of rhyme And some of free verse- too...Tired, I sit With hopes these stolen words Will say how much I love you. * end [This message has been edited by ice (02-14-2004 05:25 AM).] |

I give you a big smile my friend. This is beautiful. Between you and Kevin I'm smiling today before heading out the door for the 8 hour gig called w.o.r.k. :-) |

 (smiles) Awwwwwwwww, who could resist the beautiful words of Pablo Neruda, dearest friend, and besides most of this poem was YOU, your straight-forward, honest declarations of love, yay! (big angel hugs) You are a true romantic, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ford, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
