I Apologize If breezes aren’t as warm as those In long ago Julies If constellations aren’t as clear As stars in summer skies It wasn’t by my will that twinkles Blink from fireflies… And I apologize If I couldn’t will a crimson sky Just as a sun should set If twilight has not draped the earth In hues you won’t forget I had no power to make the evening Right for you, and yet… I do express regret If you are not contented with the Best that I could give If this love that I offer doesn’t Beg the soul to live If time we’ve shared is not the finest Passing through life’s sieve… I beg you to forgive Just look into the love that fills The deepness of my eyes Be comforted in words that pour From one who softly cries But if you do not see the truth Beyond forgotten lies…. Then I apologize Elizabeth Santos |

I dont get here as much these days--its SO good to find your name here again.  Well I cant say what I might believe ... |

Elizabeth This is the epopee of forgivness. And gave my heart a press of stress. I cannot make the flame to stray Nor can I drain the tears away There is for me no other door You'll live in me forever more. |

Liz...every write you give to us is pure and virgin silk...You write with such ease and grace, impeccable flow...and so well put together... You do realize that not only do we enjoy what you give us....we also are very envious and always wishing we could have written a poem like one of your own. Barry |

what can i say, i loved it. the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac |

I am trying to imagine where anyone could mistake your love or the value behind it and it just doesn't happen to within these grasps. If you share your life in person as well as you do your words in here, then I don't think there could ever be a time where anyone couldn't find the crimson in the sunset. Well written and a treasure to read. |

So many of your comments touched me deeply. It is so wonderful when we can share the beauty of the written word that we call poetry. We are all truly blessed to have a place to gather, to learn and to grow in our expression. Thank you all so very much for all I have learned from you. Poetic hugs Liz |
