The Girl With the Purple Dress

Love is the Breath of Life

I thought I could write

but my pen had run out of ink

I thought I could see

but realised I was blind

I thought I coud hear soft sweet music

but only silence was around

I thought I knew love and all it's ways

but then I saw you

Heard you sing

and thats when I knew, I knew nothing at all

For no words ever spoken

could explain you

or describe you

No song ever sung

could ever tell the beauty of you

And no other eye

could see

what I behold each time  I gaze upon you

This makes me think of an old story… I don't mean a story I've read a while ago, but an aged one, if that makes sense. It's beautiful… I can almost see her, and I can certainly imagine someone sitting at a table with the lights down low writing this with a feather pen.

Very good love poem. The picture and title really caught my attention.

The title and image you selected caught my eye - I love wearing purple dresses; something so liberating feminine about purple :)

this was a bitter sweet expression; i felt the love through your eyes when you gaze upon her

Sweet.. I loved it :) I liked the ending the best..

Are you checking out my woman?...lol. This made me take in a heavy sigh and think about those delicate things that are under the radar about your lover that make you tick. Smells, vibes, glances...you know what I'm talking about. Great job.

This is a wonderful piece which brings to mind feelings of my won towards a certain person. The thought that what we see is only what we see and no other can see quite what we do rings true.

This was the most exceptional piece I have seen in a long while.. You have just explained what it's like to meet the ONE! To come upon them and see for the first time mere words, thoughts, we all knew mean not a thing, for all is new, just as this love.. Wow! This goes to my favs.. Amazing piece.. Soothing and so surreal.
