Before You Say I Love You

Please with the intimacy of your desires do not cloud my heart, my mind, my soul. This rose colored afterglow is not love but a pretender. Let me know you and you know me. Together we will search to see where and how we fit in our wants, our needs, our goals. If we build this house of love does it not need a foundation? Talk to me and I will listen that I may know the beauty and wonder of your heart, your mind, your soul. Hear my words, can you see in me the beauty and wonder that is me? Is the future we see a dream we both share? With love will the flames of desire not burn hotter? Will you walk away before you know if I say NO ?

I love free verse. It is easier to say what I want with only my own constraints to worry about. I endevor to be poignant and concise yet to have as much of an even flow and rythem as possible. So glad to see a picture of you back on the scene. Huggs my friend TLee

I love to write free-verses because there I feel that I can fully say what I want. I prefer to write where no one guess what I am trying to say and can fully identify with the point I am trying to make. Hi friend so glad to hear from you and bring sunshine to my day. Huggs TLee

When I read your poem my mind said I think this woman thinks a lot the way I do. Thanks Cecilia for your praise. May a smile on wing land on your face and forget to leave. Huggs TLee

I had been learning the different styles then I had a stroke and it's been a long haul back. I am trying to pick back up where I left off at. I identify with so much that you write and feel that you think a lot like I do so I feel like I know you a little bit.
