tonight..
i will not touch you
i am content.. just to lay close
i have had my precious kisses
and said my fond.. goodnight
today..
we played like children
steeling the water from each other
making our selves wet in laughter
all in great fun
earlier..
you reached for me
wanting me.. like a woman in love
holding me in public
like we were.. alone
caring for my comfort
working with me.. as a friend
now..
as you sleep
i look at you
i marvel at your beauty
more beautiful close
than even.. from afar
now..
i watch you dream
hoping you will think of me
kissing you as you sleep
stroking you softly
to make you think of me
in a moment..
i will spoon you
and fall away my self
to dream of you again
and another pretty day
just loving you
in every way

i know what " i have nothing to say " means lol...
I remember reading this piece before.
Your words are as soft and tenderly loving,
as only you can compose.
Good luck in the contest Mr.
Loveandblessings2u & yours always

This is a lovely, soft and gentle poem and those honest emotions shine through so well
there were a couple of things that I picked up on, I think 'ourselves' and 'myself' should both be one word, where you have them as two... but apart from that the simple beauty of your words is wonderful
Keep writing

You have said it all in your gentle words. True love is found in this moments of closeness. Often in the laughter, a touch, a look. You have captured it well in your write. Love is something that comes in so many small things and show of affection, it is truly wonderful and amazing.
Your beauty and vision is deep.

Laney, the woman I wrote this for, is the woman that was impossable to love, the "Onion" The words were wasted, she did not even care for poetry. She was not a match, she was only beautifull. That is NEVER enough. She is gone. Thank you for your comment, Rick
-
ugh...these comments have flattened me good! I suppose there are worse ways to go than under a million words of praise and admiration
This woman that you write for...I hope she realizes what she has in you..
love,

Mona, whomever she is, is a Great Woman I am teaching to love again, in deeds. Thank you for liking my words, Rick

I am speechless. This poem is so genuine, sincere and every thing any woman wants a man to feel about her. In reading this poem, I could feel just how much you adore whoever she is. lovely, lovely poem.

Joyce, from your words I know you NEED someone to love. Keep your window down and just look. We never know where our next blessing will come from. Thank you for saying this is the "Poem of all Poems" That is sweet, love it, Rick

Menecairiel, Thank you for your carefull comment. As I read this it does work well in sound, eather way. Sometimes I want the reader to pause to give more thought, to certain words.
I am pleased you liked the overall work in words. If you ever have time on the back pages is a fovorite, "Forever and a Day"
It is written in the same form, and I would love your thoughts on it as well, Rick -
now this is the poem of all poems,
what a truly beautiful piece of art this is.
i haven't read anything this beautiful in a while.
if i only had someone to love me this deeply, what a feeling that would be.
this is such a remrkable write,
i just loved the whole thing.
so touching just one down right wonderful job you have done.

A beautiful poem, simple in its sentiment, deep in its meaning. The only thing I did not like was the ... in the middle of the lines. The flow was there, and the pause would have been more natural without it. Still, it is a very nice piece, with a warm core to it that one cannot help smiling fondly at. Thank you so much for featuring it, and keep the ink flowing!
Menecairiel -
Thank you so much for reading and commenting on my writing, Rick

oh this is a wonderful poem, it flows so beautifully, the imagery is amazing, pictures form as you read this and you can feel how tender and sweet it is. You did an amazing job with this one. -
This is one of the best said comments I have recieved, almost a poem in it`s self, I Quote You.
"The way you take a little moment, a simple sweet moment, from the hands of time and frame it inside a poem makes this moment immortal and divine.
WoW, Thank you so much Hana for saying I am a blesed talent. I hope my words will always be a delite to the readers and caretakers of "words of love"
Love, Rick

Oh my...Rick...this is just heavenly.
The way you take a little moment, a simple sweet moment, from the hands of time and frame it inside a poem makes this moment immortal and divine.
You are such a blessed talent.
You speak of love like no one else does.
Great one.
All my love.

Rick,
Your writes about this woman are fascinating in that I can see and track the progression of your thoughts and feelings, starting with the dream, moving on to the appreciation of her as a woman, and now to the deeper feelings of love beginning. I'm so happy for you!
Wonderful job with this, and I hope she learns to appreciate your poetry as much as all the women of AP do.

Tears, That is a GREAT complement with so few words, Rick

Heartnsoul, you are a Romantic, and a very insitefull one at that. The current relizem in my words of late has come from a real person. She is a non poet and I am teaching her the magic of words with my own. It is wonderfull to be an exception with you, in quoting my thoughts, In that I am honered, Rick

If one didn't know better one would think....ahhhh Rick is in love. To wonder a moment in the past, to live a moment in today, or to dream of a moment in the future, in either case, lucky is the woman to be thought of this way. I normally don't pick out lines in poetry. Actually, I never do, but in this case, your stanza that speaks of love in public places grabbed me. For I have yet to meet a man that is comfortable with this type of PDA. This part right here, has nothing to do with love. It has to do with the comfort level of the inner self. Love just rubs it to a brilliant shine. This is a part of you, that the woman with whom you love or come to love, should count thier lucky stars. Tender, soft, gentle and deeply moving. Ahh..but I'm biased. I'm such a romantic. I still believe that one day my prince will put on my glass slipper.

The best poetry comes from deep within, hence the love, which brings us back to the love we have within for our spouse, children, family, friends, etc. hence the poetry from within and so on. never ends, and a special

HEARTWARMING
This was great!! it sounds like a hallmark card for someone's 50th anniversary or something, and I mean that in a good way....your poem made me think of the one that I love, but if only he loved me back. I applaud you for this one...Keep Writing I enjoyed it
-
It is like a wonderful movie, like "Bridges of Madison County" which is a movie that absolutely enthralled me and killed me when she had to give up her lover. Oh well. It was only make-believe, wasn't it? This poem is exactly like the movie, to me. I love it

absolutely heartwarming in it's passion and tenderness. I loved this very much. I shared it with my wife. Thank you for this most touching poem of love. peace.
-
I can not agree with you more. Sometimes it seems we are looking ahead, for that wonderfull day in the future. If we pause, and absorbe our blessings, we are living that day NOW
Rick -
Revelation!
WOAAAAA - this is pure poetry!! The light catching the heart off guard and blowing it open.. We fall in love, swooping from branches never knowing really where love is taking us.. earlier.. These lines: "you reached for me - wanting me.. like a woman in love - holding me in public - like we were.. alone - caring for my comfort - working with me.. as a friend" - absolutely beautiful!! Summons a quieter love, a soft and caring presence emerging between 2 lovers when they are at rest in themselves.. This poetry rises from a deep well of compassion and conveys a love of true tenderness and kinderness.. A genuine concern for the other and to live the invisible fire in the heart of their hearts, ouffffffff i truly love you..

Darell, a very senstive comment from a male, you must be a poet at heart. I greatly appreate you comment, Rick
-
This so beautifully captures a moment in time shared between two lovers. Sometimes the most precious moments are those spent in silence when we're able to absorb and fully revel in our blessings. A wonderful, emotion-filled piece! Thank you for sharing.
-
Awesome!
Amazing imagery combined with passion and romance.
A lovely piece of art painted on a canvas of love.
Your words are tender and affectionate.
Effervesced with sweet love and devotion.
This is a splendid example of what real love is.
Your attention to detail was remarkable.
The way you outline the course of your day was
so lovely. It made every moment seem so special.
This was a brilliantly constructed poem built
on love and affection. Great great work!

Ornate words do not necessarly make strong poetry. If I can get you to feel the words and be there in your mind, I am happy. Thank you for reading, Rick
-
I am glad you came back to read some more of my writing. That is a nice complement, Rick
-
I love this poem, i really do. It shows everyone that you have a tender side, that you're vulnerable, and that you're in love. The simplicity of the words you used made each word even more significant than the one before it.....i love it.....good job, keep it up!

I am teaching her to appreate the spoken word. She is not a poet.
If I whisper my words to her, then I have her attention
To read them, is nothing to her

VERY BEAUTIFUL
You have such a beautiful way with words. I think you make many hearts melt on hear. Your lady is very lucky to have such beautiful poetry written for and about her. Alot of men could take a lesson from you. Another wonderful heartwarming poem. Becca

Bravo
Hi Rick:
Well it seems that the last few poems written have developed into a new style. A Tenderness style. Very becoming and wise as it shows the tenderness that is within you. To lie next to someone you love and watch them sleep and gently kiss and caress them is beauty in itself. Very nice imagery, sharing a fun filled day, yet with love and tenderness. Only one typo I think, did you mean to type caring for my comfort? To see the good in a person throught the day and night is loving insight. Keep on writing Rick. I like you new style. -
Sometimes the simplest things, become another form of love, Rick
-
awww, this was very sweet. really, i loved the words in this write.
today..
we played like children
steeling the water from each other
making our selves wet in laughter -
Trina, I am trying to press the edge of my personel style. Thank you for liking my words, Rick
