Bliss

just a brief glimpse at beauty,
like petals blowing in the breeze.
a family of little robins
singing in the trees.
daisies growing wild,
cheering the forest ground,
mocking birds making magic,
with the simplicity of their sound.
butterflies fluttering gracefully,
showing off their wings of every hue,
billowy white clouds making shapes,
upon a sky of blue.
these things only compare, 
to the tenderness of your kiss,
for that is the only other thing,
that brings me that much bliss.
yes i love to pretend that i love dark things,
and that I have a heart of stone,
but when i look in your eyes ,my heart fills up,
with such a light that I have ever known.

So gently you transform us green eyes

Ann of Norway Oh little petals falling falling, robins muttering and sighing, daisies being daisy suns, mocking birds, butterfly's, clouds, falling in love with eyes, transforming stone to flight. You transform all as into your vision Elizabeth(?), as always so softly, so gently, so full of awe at nature's beauty, our fairy princess, wood nymph, spirit, we love this touch of love you spin in silken gossamer into our brains, their dusty lofts renew with dreams. Love from Ann. I think it would look less of a body of text, easier to read, more appealing if you were to divide it like this:- just a brief glimpse at beauty, like petals blowing in the breeze. a family of little robins singing in the trees. daisies growing wild, cheering the forest ground, mocking birds making magic, with the simplicity of their sound. butterflies fluttering gracefully, showing off their wings of every hue, billowy white clouds making shapes, upon a sky of blue. these things only compare, to the tenderness of your kiss, for that is the only other thing, that brings me that much bliss. yes i love to pretend that i love dark things, and that I have a heart of stone, but when i look in your eyes ,my heart fills up, with such a light that I have ever known.

Dear Elizabeth

How very sweet as compared to your darker writes! I have my softer side, too, but Shhh! Don''t tell anyone! LOL, My favorite lines are: these things only compare, to the tenderness of your kiss, for that is the only other thing, that brings me that much bliss. Always, Cat
