Ah love...
Let us be true to one another...
The beginning lines of a wonderful Matthew Arnold poem.
Why start out with such a line? Because life inspires me to. Because
you in my life inspire me to.
Ah beauty too wonderful to behold.
Your smile is a dagger to my heart.
On your eyes I float, descend, rise and fold.
I hang on every word you impart.
A fullness dwells within
more than words can say
and I am left here with a grin
thinking of you this day.
tomorrow is too far away
turning twisting like a knife
mocking my internal strife
missing you is my bane
i hung my head in the rain
then the thought of you
like a shooting star
shot across my heart
an image, a dream
and it was clear as a mountain stream
there you were standing next to me
your eyes shining as the dawn
and the touch of your hands on mine
made the galaxies come ablaze
a brilliant shining spinning ecstasy
a rhapsody between you and me
and the enchantment of the world
bred upon the tender touch
of you and me.

What a beautiful poem (and a very unique title). You know you could really sweep a girl off her feet talking like that... then again I'm sure you already have.
thank you rebecca blue
i plan on continuing to talk like that
who can quell the heart once the waves start to over flow?
the only way to quell them is to share them...and let all the world know, and especially the beloved.
Put a sock in it, Poetry Man ;-)
That was *sniff* beautiful.
I wrote a poem once:
I wish rabbits were kings over man
Then I could follow my plan
To breed rabbits with slugs
I'd call them rablugs
And my favorite, I'd just name him "Dan"
The sad thing is, I really wrote that like 5 years ago. :)

But those aren't the OPENING lines to "Dover Beach"..Those lines are very near the end. The poem begins "The sea is calm tonight / The moon lies fair..."
....she says, nearly three years later.
