Notes About The Poem

Unsigned

It was just a tiny scrap of paper that I found lying on the floor.
Who would leave a note for me, quietly slipped beneath the door?

A parchment of mystery unfolding in the shade of passionate red.
I searched for a clue of sender as the affectionate words I read.

"Soon I'll stand before you but this little note is my second choice.
I could not speak of love to you, for my thoughts could not find voice.

Although not written about a rose, nor fragile violets of blue,
not sweetened with sugar crystals, but know my love is true."

It was just a tiny scrap of paper without a hint from whom it came.
A rendered heart of crimson paper, romantically left without a name.

Very lovely write Lin; although, it always seems to wind up being the wrong person.

Hi Lin, a beautiful romantic write from your pen Lin. This one just flows so beautifully from the start to the end. It is amazing the emotions that can come from one little note. So few words can hold so much emotion when they are the right words and your simple words are indeed the right words. A beautiful write Lin, an excellent piece. This has to be a seven. Hugs....Mike.

Such a note would be a very romantic gesture, and also one of a mystery soon to be solved. Thanks so much.
