Still Makes Me Want To Try

For Lovers... For what’s been said by songs of love more beautifully than I could ever put down into words still makes me want to try For words as soft as summer’s kiss on dewey morning green I struggle to engage my pen my feelings unforeseen As how could I, though from the heart begin to touch the sky Yet you, my love, my wondrous one still make me want to try

Dear Mike, a beautiful outpouring of thought and emotion and desire for expression from your "heart to touch the sky"... and though the "songs of love" say it beautifully, I think your verse sails through the clouds of doubt to express a love that not only touches the sky but writes a romantic rune across the swooning sky. I adore the tender repetition of "still makes me want to try". Beautiful poetry! Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Susan
