Across The Pond

Who are you
That has stolen my heart
Me over here
And you across the pond

What is your name
I just have to know
Your work stirs my heart
But it is your eyes
That have touched my soul

Would it be alright
Can I just ask
Could I have
Just one little dance

If I stand on a hill
Just before morning
And you will stand on a hill
Just after dark

We can both dance
Under the same moon

And I will hold you
In my dreams
Until the day I die

Your poem is to be

Your poem is to be cherished. Yeah, Hobo, little adventures are what life is all about, including making friends across many rivers and ponds. Life in these days of the net is wayyyyyyyyyyyy coooool. Imagine, what was once a blip across my screen is sleeping in my bed now. Ahhhh... Hugs of love, Anna "People sometimes inquire what form of government is most suitable for an artist to live under. To this question there is only one answer. The form of government that is most suitable to the artist is no government at all." Oscar Wilde

My dear Hobo

Wonderful. If I stand on one of our Scottish hills and dance at 10pm, British time tomorrow, give you a bit of time to get your kilt on, you have to dance at the same time and I’ll be dancing there with you and waving.

as soon as dark falls randy i'll be dancing

beautiful write 'Who are you That has stolen my heart' - do you think it should be 'who has'? - i know that gives you two 'who's', but 'that' is inanimate..... perhaps something then like - 'Who are you a stranger stealing my heart' .... just me (x) love judy xxxx http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TwentyMyPrettyPonies.html
