And this is the sweetest message I've ever seen!
Elegance that softens deeper feelings, this is the impression I get when I read your words.

This feels like longing. And gratitude. And a space once occupied that is, again, a space. I see laughter and love and dancing taking form from the ethers of memory - the reconstructing of days gone by. I see a beautiful life.

Gene, I love the title...the poem...especially because it lets my imagination run a bit wild! Magic!

A delightful poem, Gene

A lovely tribute for a lovely lady--glad her memory still shines to brighten your days.

Good singing will cover
over a multitude of inadequacies.
Your work leaves a lasting impression.
I echo Liana's sentiments.
peace and continued imagination.

You honor her with words of beauty and grace, Gene...she must be a very special lady.

This is a jewel, I can feel your emotons, what a gift eh? magical

'...happy talkin' talkin' happy talk talk about thing you...' ala Gene and it's gorgeous rich uplifting happy talk - such honour and dignity and love conveyed, my head is held high for you for you not only honour a beautiful woman but honour yourself and everyone who reads this.

John

Whoever she is.........she's a lucky woman that you adore her so! Loved this poem, Gene!

Do you know how many women there are out there who would give their right arm to know that someone thinks so highly and appreciatively of them? I'm thinking millions. Thank you for sharing this little gem with us. hugs, J'nia

... this delightful, skipping accolade-chocked tribute fair tripsies along with such a breezy, upbeat hum in its heels, Gene, that we can all catch the champagne-bubbles of celebratory thought this dear Lady froths up in you! I love the title because, every time I see your bio pic it somehow makes me think of the feel-good musical, South Pacific - or, more specifically(pacifically?!), all those broad-shouldered mariners bursting out of their skinnyrib white T-shirts singing "There Ain't Nuthin Like A Dame" - honest truth! And I never knew why, but now I do, I reckon! :)) It took me a while to rattle through all the songs in the score to come up with the appropriate song but: "Some Enchanted Evening" indeed, and then some! I hope that her boat lands shipwrecked on your shore again sometime soon and that then you can get with all that "Happy Talk" once more! Fair makes me want to dig out a 1950s polka-dot two-piece swimsuit and platformed, wedge-heeled peep-toe sandals to boogie along... you know I would, too! Ach, and now I've forgotten all about me sad English rain... Fab stuff! Bless you, Kate xx

This is such a fresh and gracious poetic painting of your muse ~
some rare beauty that to you, makes life worth living.
Blessings,
Christine

BEAUTIFUL POEM!!!!!!!!!!! WISH YOU MORE HAPPINESS, DEAR GENE!!!!!!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Very well told, Gene.

She sounds like the whole package..Wow, an unrequited love? You must tell her, before she gets away!!!

Lovely poetry from your ever lovin' heart, Gene..

Much peace, love and light,
Amber

You cannot pay for that kind of happiness...pure joy to read.

Cheers,

Not all men have been so gifted with the woman(en) of their lives Gene. To those of us fortunate to have been so gifted. Nothing in all of life compares. The extra pair of legs when ours are disabled. A golden thread, a life line of moral support when we are a child of destitution walking the allies of want. A hand so tender caressing our brow when we are ravished with pain and sorrow. And yes, they sing too. The ballads of quiet diamond gifts from Heaven's treasure for mortal men. I believe I may know yours. Of mine, I am certain. She has been the light at the end of every grigio granito tunnel. You have given life and a form for us to recognize this very special woman that lives in your heart. Cherish, savor and protect her with your very being if necessary my dear friend. Peace and love will walk you to the pathways of joy. Jon Michael

Oh Gene you fill my heart as for the way things are with Fred and I. This is beautiful. Love is a gift we should treasure and so are your words.

Newfie Hugs, Rose

Ah how I can relate to those feelings and love of a woman who God gift's some people with.

Gee.......Gene,
i don't know to laugh or cry,[not with all the unanswered questions...where she went and not with you]but then again maybe you just whipped this up out of your great imagination,reguardless i do like your take on the situation,and the outcome as the "happiest of all the happy men" aye,nicely done

Lovely, lovely accolade to a dear cherished one, and to acknowledge such lovely compliments to this one is even lovelier, Gene. Lauditory and ceremonial bestowal, a marvelous woman I am sure. Be well.

Love,
Sage

I am of the opinion with the wonderful picture you have herein drawn that asking anybody else would be a waist of my time for I already know of the answer, as you have described it most vividly...e
