I love the new image on your page...
So, when last I read, you were peeking around corners and wondering. Now it sounds like you have actually made contact--and in a good way. Slowly your secret life is being revealed...
Beautiful poem girl.

Oh, this is so tender, so very lovely! Yes! "Cling to those who will wrap their arms around you Carry you home Whispering...I love you." What a wonderful tribute to someone very special, and what marvelous advice in that final stanza!

Good, strong emotional flow in this. It is sustained throughout. I thought the section up to the questions was extremely moving. The two lines where you use the question marks are essentially one long question, the second line qualifying the first. Suggest a comma at the end of the first and a question mark at the second. Try reading the second line on its own and you'll see it isn't a question.Your lines are tightly written and I like your formatting a lot. Good romantic poem.

    Mark, I have done as you suggested and added the comma instead of the question mark.

    Thank you for this ever so soft and generous review. I truly hope you know how much I appreciate all your reviews. How they help me. :)

    Always,
    Missy

    I was inspired to write this after reading JumboJ's latest poem. If you haven't read it I encourage you to jump over there and read. He is truly inspiring :)

    Thank you so much for leaving me this absolutely lovely review!

Beautiful poem, especially in that transition from the long couplet to the implied simple words- I love you. I am a horrible grammarian, but you do need a pause after "I know only this" I would break that line into its own stanza or " I know only this - words on a page, expressions of love/ from one human being to another-// here are those expressions. Thanks for sharing!

I wasn't aware I'd missed this. I'm sorry.

It's one of your very warm and heartfelt love poems you do so well.

I love your concluding lines:

When you have doubts
Cling to those who will
Wrap their arms around you
Carry you home.

Whispering ...I love you.

You cover all the bases. Invite me to the wedding.
