Waiting: Echo Poem 5-Th

Poet's Notes: My poet's notes must precede the next Echo Poem as well because the poet has not given me permission to publish her poems on my site. I can, of course, reference her poems without restriction. So the TH in the title here is short for Treasure Hunt. To really enjoy my poem to the full (although it does stand alone as well), I suggest you read Lora Colon's Poem called 'The Swan' on Poemhunter.com first. PH is a great site as well and I publish both places. In Spite of Your Silence In spite of your silence I still feel you love me Though it's true silent days are not many, I imagine your soul doing battle with poem And that soon your heart's message will fly free. In spite of your silence I still feel you caring And the cost of my doubts just a penny, That's not much dear, just know that wherever you roam My love's robe for you always I'm wearing. Will these expressions of our love ever approach The love poems of Barrett and Browning? The truth of love never fails to tickle God's ear Though our fantasies prove a pumpkin's coach. The sign that will calm you I swear only God knows. I just wish I could see if He's frowning Though you still could reach out to me through your fear? Until then I can only offer this rose....
