You mean so very much to me You've made me born again You are manna for my soul And the ink that fills my pen You inspire me to greatness And make me a far better man You are unceasing encouragement And help me be all that I can You are an irreplaceable character In my happily ever after story You are the sparkle of the morning dew And the sunrise in all of her glory You are the scent of spring flowers And the light of the harvest moon You are the heat of a summers day And the brightness of winters noon You are the caress of an ocean breeze And the surf breaking upon my shore You are the depth of ancient woodlands And to me you are so much more You are the sound of nature's music And the steps in a dance for two You are a sweet shop's featured flavor And the rainbow's every hue You are fuel for my poetic muse My heart, my soul and my life The summation of all of my dreams The ideal lover, friend and wife You've emptied my existence Then poured yourself within You are manna for my soul And the ink that fills my pen Steven Seaman You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back. --Barbara DeAngelis |

You've emptied my existence Then poured yourself within You are manna for my soul And the ink that fills my pen Lovely thoughts. Just lovely. Chris Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |

Nice write, I enjoyed much. So beautiful and surrene, with such great images! But, I think the ending could use a little work... Overall, you've got yourself an emotional poem here. -A "Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile." |
