Given the chance our luv is mean.
It might be years between embraces
But love for us has many faces.

Now I find you've been treated black
But darlin, you don't gotta take that.
You've been abused it's plain to see.
You don't gotta take that, believe.

You're such a kind, loving soul
And spread sun shine where you go.
Your touch can melt life, it's facade,
Leaving peace as you walk with God.

Your free spirit rare and true.
How could any women leave you blue?
Their empty hearts leave you pain
When you deserve only good to gain.

A wonderfully admirin' dedication to an obviously wonderful person. Pure beauty could not be bestowed upon an unpure heart. Emy, it's been years since I've read the beauty of yer words. Ain't gonna leave this site alive just 'cause of you ...
'n' Shelby 'n' a few thousand more of my closest friends ...

I gotta take your poem for me. Emy nice tribute to your friend. When he has you as his friend why should he think of other women? Their empty hearts will never leave any pain.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
