Boundaries

If there are boundaries in my loving you that must be set, I'll put them in that place where sky and ocean blue are met. If those honeyed words of you that from my tongue do spill, I"ll put them in a box of treasures and take them out at will. In dreams there are no boundaries and I may touch your hand, And hold it tight throughout the night until the day commands. When comes the final boundary before that shadow place, The image that I"ll take with me is of your smiling face.

How wonderful, dear, sweet, may I just have you concider periods at the end of thoughts since you do have capitals at the beginning of sentences? [what a good one for valentines day too!] Light & Love

I like the way that you write. Everything comes out descriptively right. Your work is always tried and true. The kind I can always expect from you. In the future, I would like to see some more. So much of what you write I truly adore. Boutiful fruit is yielded by your pen. Your wonderful writings I will read again.
