The Eyes To See

if you take my beating heart outside of my chest you'd see your name in pretty cursith tattooed inside of me if you had a way of looking inside my mind you would find me thinking of you most all of the time if you were a goddess that could see inside my soul then you could see my perfect praise shinning just like gold if you could see my spirit as eyes look to you for sustaniance a shinning in your face that is your loves amazing radiance if you could see my need for thee if you could understand if you could just believe in me then could i be your man?

A romantic and moving outpouring of your heart dear John. To long for someone can be very exciting, Sounds like a man with a plan onward with his pursuits and advances to a lady that he admires.

Mail returned, John! And thanks for your comments on the poem about old Annie. It's a true story and I think I was the only one who ever saw the war photos of her husband on living room walls. It broke my heart when I heard of how she died. She was heartbroken when Tibby disappeared. The cat was all she lived for. Love, Carolyn

I once had a vision, I was standing inside a two story white house with green doors. I sat in a tree and watched a cat paw the petals of a rose, I did not know the meaning until today. When my Mother said her stint was causing high blood pressure and a lot of pain. She would have to enter the hospital for surgery. The green doors are the surgeons, the tree is me, being strong in her time of need. I understand what you mean.-AA

so romantic..though the beginning took me to Kafka's The Trail..wince..did you want an "I" in the last line "then could I be your man?" Light & Love
