Writing Me Softly With His Rhyme

I heard he wrote a good line That he had flair and style And as I read his work That captured me for a while And there he was, this gray beard A stranger to my heart Strumming my soul with his keyboard Writing my emotions with his heart Caressing me softly with his rhyme Caressing me softly with his rhyme Caressing me softly with his love I felt all elevated my Emotions all on fire I felt that he knew me Read my thoughts outloud I prayed he won't leave me Just keep on caressing me awhile for he was Strumming my soul with his keyboard Writing my emotions with his heart Caressing me softly with his rhyme Caressing me softly with his rhyme Caresssing me softly with his love He wrote poems as if he knew me In my darkest days Then he read right through me Oh! How much I really craved For he was Strumming my soul with his keyboard Writing my emotions with his heart Caressing me softly with his rhyme Caressing me softly with his rhyme Caressing me softly with his love Caressing me softly with his l--o--v-e (This is a take off on the song "Killing Me Softly With His Song". I heard it as an instrumental and this just hit me. It applies to all soupers whose poetry has touched my heart as well as some of my well know poets and poetessess.) Written by: Sara Kendrick

Hi Sara. Tkz for your comment. I could not find much to read in the others u wrote as they are short.I like the way your words fell here as I think u should express more of your heart.You have potential. But who am I to say, I amjust a beginner looking for a start. God Bless! And may he be with u every step u take..

Beautiful Sara! Yes, you've captured the essence of how it feels to read truly great poetry. Well done indeed. And I love Roberta Flack's song, have sung the original lyrics in karaoke many times. May have to learn these new words to the song! This is brilliant.

Sara Kendrick, for this writing I will put on my hall of fame. You are a true writer. You have proved to me that writing is not just imagery. Sara, you are the gold of poetry.

A master piece Sara. Amazing how some music or song will just grap ahold of one soul and heart and not let go until one gets the message that Love intended for our lives. Beautiful, the way you wrote this Sara. Sincerely, Love, Moses

Very clever, Ms. Sara ... I knew what you were doing when I saw the title ... smile ... its playing with words time ... LOL ... so you didn't have a particular Soup poet in mind, huh? That would be exciting to have a True Romance at the Soup ... smile ...
