Unexpressed By Larry Chadwick But known It is in there somewhere deep in my heart. I can sense it and at times almost I can touch it. A compelling urge to express my love. I know all the right moves but it is the words that seem to be out of reach. That warmth I feel from having loved you so long it fits like a glove. That tingle from remembering how you excited me from the start and knowing that you still do. The satisfaction of experiencing your unconditional love on a daily basis. The comfort of knowing every night you are there to snuggle. The pleasure of your company and attention. The acceptance of faults that I was so unwilling to forgive until I recognized my own. The recollection of memories shared; better than I ever hoped and worse than I could have imagined. But the strength I draw from knowing you were true in them all. Odd that such deep emotion will not allow for creative expression. But then again they need no ornamentation. I can live with that. November 12, 2004 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Larry, I concur with Mr. T.! You deserve an A on this love paper! Only a man who is pure of heart, could have written a poem of love such as this. Love & Candle Light, Linda |

It is a male thing Larry, to often fail to say what we feel (the good things)...something about warriors and hiding feelings. But, it is a golden thing when a man can sit, self examine and come up with a feel of being humble...and knowing that there is a woman there beside us...who loves us, even when we fail to sometimes convey in spades to them. Well said LC... |

If this is unexpressed what would you write if you were expressing yourself? A small novel I think. However, I know what you mean sometimes even when the words are written they are still hard to say. Excellent job with this. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Donna, It seems you are qualified to know: "The greatest beauty on earth, is found in the hearts of those who love...." And thank you. ![]() Thanks Nancy Lee, That is a pleasant thought. ![]() JL, Thank you. ![]() Martie, Well you know I just can't seem to do the truly romantic wrtie so figured it was better than not expressing at all. And thank you. ![]() Sy, And if I were a student it would be my first A for writing! ![]() If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Hope, Well I know you're right, but it just seemed like it should be expressed so much differently yet it wouldn't come out! And thank you. ![]() Linda, Thanks dear lady. I meant every word. ![]() Deb, Thank you for your kindness. It is appreciated. ![]() Cpat, well now it is an honor to rank such kind words from one of your writing talent. And thank you that made my day. ![]() Maree, Thank you sweet friend, very much. ![]() If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Sorry I have been unable to read much these days. Hopefully I'll be back online at home soon. You are a dear. ![]() If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Magnus, Ain't that the truth. As men and romance go you rank among the best. So your response is very valuable to me. Thanks. ![]() Kacy, Yeah! What can we do to fix that? You should know, sis. Tell me, please. ![]() Keth, Thank you dear lady. I'm not sure I'm up to date but pray all is well with you. ![]() If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
