My Sri Lankan Sweet Pea

It’s now crystal clear… I need not be told I am falling for a Sri Lankan sweet pea. I can’t hold My feelings… she’s a darling dame, a beauty to behold She’s got a guy, but to me she’s more than gains and gold How I wish I could live forever in her singing sky, Her rhymes and rhapsodies ring… giving me wings to fly I have promised my self that I will not love for now… it turned a lie My heart is hot for a buddy I have not seen… I need an eagle’s eye I have never seen, held or used a Sri Lankan rupee But I am dying for this colorful… cute Asian sweet pea I’m caged in thy colorful cell oh Crystal… you’ve got the key Give me thy love, life and all; please do this to set me free

(Minnesota) love it! thanks for sharing these feelings in print, and oh....how did you know I was so down and blue yest. I almost quit the soup? your kind words helped me recover emotionally, (I don't know why, but my feelings are much too sensitive!) jim

BEAUTIFUL PLEA FOR YOUR SWEET PEA---we are all human and we all pass through feelings my friend---and the sweet poetry makes us live in dreams, it is good to live a dream every now and then,till reality knocks again,but in our realities we can find the beauty of life-great tribute and emotions well penned--and thanks for your kind comments--charma
