FULL HEART EMPTY ARMS
Thoughts of you illuminate my spirit;
Never a flicker of flame, but with
Arching bolts which strike with a force
That disturbs my equilibrium.
My mind races as waves of passion flush over
My pale skin, causing me to gaze upon visions
Of impossible romantic possibilities.
Pathetic is this woman who anticipates the
True rhythm of love, with a man she will never hold.
My imagined discourse of thoughts leave me suffering,
As my lips quiver with the words I shall never speak.
"I have loved you more than anybody in this world."
What a fantastic poem you have written, dear Valerie! When thoughts of beloved illuminate the spirit, no doubt
a flicker of flame disturbs the equilibrium of the whole personality and then come impossible romantic possibilities and lips do quiver with the words like: "I have loved you more than anybody in this world". O Valerie! you are simply wonderful. This poem of yours has looted my heart. You are a great robber.
