I feel I should be writing a love poem tonight Tonight, being the night for such things or so “Hallmark” would have me believe But, I keep getting lost in the bells of her giggle The sound I imagine tulips would make when they throw off the blankets of winter and lift their faces toward the promise of spring When, once again, I pick up my pen The page before me darkens, swirls and draws me into the midnight of chocolate that lives in her eyes Where I am caught for a time in the concert of lights that have been sprinkled about by mischievous angels I am distracted by images of her hair in the wind Flowing like all of the banners of all of the men who have ever met and fought on green fields of belief under bright blue domes of notions and nations The living, free to follow their furling pennants back to whatever place their heart would dwell, leaving the dead to nourish the heather But finally, I am undone by her hips The curves that encompass her remarkable machinery, firm roundness that hold the idea of her firmly planted in that place where love first notices that it lives, And so, I sit here wondering just how I could ever convey those myriad things that mystify me still |

I swear you have us all swooning here with your words! Sue better tie you up sir because if YOU are loose there will be a stampede to fight for your affections! This is simply the most caring and honestly loving Valentine I've ever read. Sigh. |

You actually made me envy your dog (and Sue) for a minute there, but only a minute you old softie you! This was absolutely so darn beautiful - when do I leave for New Orleans?  Hey, the blanket is coming but then so is Christmas!Today I'm only moving clouds, tomorrow I'll try mountains. |

You're a GREAT writer Ed. It's always a pleasure to read you. Maree  Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

She flits about the tulips flying haphazard, as a butterfly or a hummingbird. Dancing upon this flower and that, searching for that one place where she can rest her wings to be fulfilled. She spies, hiding within the underbrush a bush in bloom. A fiery flora, flowing from each twig burst of Spring. And settles herself upon gentle limb, eyes dropping quicker than the Sun. And slept as that of a child, comforted. *smile* |
