... this longing inside me that never goes away, must be a poem...must be you ...
John Geddes
...I will find once again the light of your beauty - your colored windows in the night...
...you can be talented as a wolf is breathtakingly fierce...silver and gray, like smoke in the trees - but what do you do with terrible beauty?...
...I'm shy in person - so afraid to confess my love - I need a go-between - our mutual friend, the Moon...
...people quote proverbs without realizing they're really in awe of the authority of their truth and the power of their expression...
...I didn't want you flawless - I have a bare wall at home that's flawless - I wanted your character trapped in the amber of your skin...
...it took me a lifetime of glimpses, but now I see you completely - did I tell you you're beautiful? so kind to animals, children and me...
...if it weren't for you, mornings wouldn't be so comforting - slippers wouldn't scrape through the rooms of my heart...
...when I see you, I see mystery - a pale moon's beauty behind a veil of cloud...
...your memory is a warm stone hidden in my hand I'm always turning over...
...if you don't regard your word as a sacred covenant, then there is nothing in you I can honor ...
...the real absurdity is that to love is to suffer, but the reverse isn't always true...
...I pluck every day from my sweater or chair, red hairs...strands of significance, traces of you in my life ...
...I've discovered why you fascinate - you keep the mystery and as Carlyle noted, Wonder is the basis of worship...
...everything I treasure is broken - it's of no use to anybody but me...
...I wish I could tell the tale of your beauty as my rough hands caress your face...
...what makes a writer a prophet is his ability to speak truth...
...every time I look at you autumn leaves come in between - does it matter they're the color of your hair - or they still fall in my memory?...
...when I met you, you were so beautiful, the air around you vibrated with color ...
...and you thought beauty was the outward show - but now you know the truth, my Love - it's always been the inner fire...
