All That Can be Said of Love They say that words of love are greatly overused That matters of the heart are verbally abused And all that can be said of love has been defined In sonnets scrolled by poets of another time But what is there for poet’s fare if not for love? What other vision has your heart been dreaming of? For love of God, for love of child and nature’s face Are passions that each waking moment will embrace As for the love that scrolls itself in fleeting time Each love is new and worthy of a poet’s rhyme All wonders to be said of love have not been said Nor has this day been etched in phrases of the dead There is no other love in verse that’s so divine As this unwritten love that’s been endowed as mine Elizabeth Santos April 30, 2004 |

yes, you are indeed blessed but in many more ways then you even realize...Liz...you've just left a very visible compliance for the world to live by. Oft times I've pondered how many times people have said I love you...in growing shall we say, more mature, hehehhee I'd much rather see it then hear it. Remarkable poem, thank you for sharing. |

'Tis love that makes the world go 'round... is it not? Well we haven't stopped spinning yet, so I suspect you're absolutely right. Let's keep writing of love - If only we could all do it as well as you, dear lady...  |

We all struggle with love, that is perhaps the largest part of the core of poetry; you shine a bright on this search to help us all to see. Well done! |

Liz "As for the love that scrolls itself in fleeting time Each love is new and worthy of a poet’s rhyme" So true, so you! |

As I told Suthern the other day in response to that beautiful birthday poem she wrote me, /pip/Forum89/HTML/000609.html I don't write because mystic inner forces drive me to it, I write because I love...love the act of writing, love toying with words and ideas, love making something that didn't exist before, love life and at least some of the people in it.... These words of yours reach right to the center of the reason why I write. How I write, we could talk about...but the why of it, that's pretty much settled and you said it here exactly. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |
