To Her, With Love

If life is death, do live Elizabeth,
And read my words although I'm far away
Your soul is light beside my dying breath,
With metaphors I'll die to live today
I love you more than sun-light loves the day

Elizabeth, thou art a Queen of mine,
And Angels touch you with poetic rhyme,
With words you whirl a wind I never knew
You write with beauty and you are divine
So wear this ring and kiss my rhyme to you

(written for my dearest friend elizbeth wesley. 
everyone has a fan and friend on the soup, and 
elizabeth is my heart! thankyou my love for all
of your dedicated compliments)!

Gives me a "ping" inside. Dear Johnny, I printed this and it hangs on my wall so I can read it each day. I love it and hope you realize how much your dear thoughts mean to me. Love, Lizzy

I need a lift today and know where to come to find it. So sweet to lift me out of a dark day. Love, Lizzie

I melt with the pleasure with your dear words and know I am not worthy of such praise. Nevertheless, if my poems touch your heart, it simply means we have bonded in that mystical way that time and chance has no power over. Bless you Johnny, I love you too.
