Yes, I know...guess it is pretty sappy...


 


 


If I reach inside
and touch your life
with but a taste of mine,
will you cherish
what is offered
and hold close
through tests of time


If I put a smile
upon your lips
that echoes in your heart,
will you return
the gift I give
to bind though miles may part


If I place my heart
into your hands
with trust in words you say,
will you make me real
and love me too
by dark or light of day


If I offer you
the all of me
can you offer me the same,
will you believe
when I cannot
and also share my pain


If I cast a ray of sunshine
but never produce the rain,
barren dust will be the result,
roses bloom not in desert terrain

This comes from the depths of the heart - and that ain't one bit sappy. Well done.

There is nothing "Sappy" about this exquiste poem. Heart touching and beautiful.

Ann, Sappy? very much to the contrary. Emotional rides are never sappy. Very well written.

If you ever wrote one poem that was as beautiful as this one, this would have to be it. Sublimely and exquisitely written and ordered. "In Bloom" is the song of a women and poet who has gone beyond the perception and assonance of love. Gone beyond it and returned to give us this gift of love and words. I loved the second stanza above all. Your poem resounds and resonates in the rooms smitten by forlorned love
Cheers
Alain
