OH MY GOODNESS! I went to the link you provided. It set the mood alright! As soon as I heard Van's voice I was immediately teleported to the place I needed to be in order to fully appreciate the ache and longing so beautifully conveyed in this gorgeous love poem. I feel like I have learned a great deal about you, through reading your work; your poems reflect much about your innermost feelings and the depth of beauty inside you. Each of your poems show different facets of the poet, like a shimering diamond in the sunlight. I wait with patient anticipation for the next poem you post, knowing I may gain even more insight into the lovely and talented Taylor Ryan. You are an immensely talented artist and I'm so thankful I happened by here and found your work. You have quickly become one of my favorite poets. It is ironic that my wife recently met Jennifer Garner just a few weeks after Jennifer had her baby. (She and Ben Afleck own a home near Savannah.) I remember my wife telling me how very nice she was and how great she looked such a short time after giving birth. So the song, the video and the poem have all worked together to bring this very special piece to life for me. Your grateful friend, ~Butch

Words fail me with this poem, Taylor. You write with such skill and creativity, from the depths of a woman's love in both heart and soul -- who could find the words to do it justice. Please know you've touched me, genuinely, and I have seen what real talent is, for it's here in your work.
Much respect and with awe,
CJ

Some is feeling nostalgic and I loved this whole poem and your thought process, behooves me Taylor, as of the poem before this. I felt I have to start tracking you, I find your use of word very exhillerating----> My tears compete with blanketing mist
wipers and tissue useless...
longing and strength collide
as I listen intently to every note, <------That is tight, your metaphor use astounds me! I really do like your style!!! YOur in a trance and you ran with it, is what it feels like! Good thing paper and pen was available. Be Happy! and Stay in those feelings once again. You have a way of moving the soul with your chosen words, I will be back here again. Glad I found you! Keep Writing as easily and as you do, like the floatiness of the butterfly on a cool windy day! Warm HuGs!*She*oxo

A poetress you surely are. A pen that's easy on the eye's as well as the heart.

This is NOT the work of someone who struggles with words.

This is the work of someone who walks humbly through the fields and along the paths of life reaching out to be inspired. You have been blessed with a pure crystalline river connection with those soulful eyes and longing heart that fuels the poets awareness.

Taylor, I believe you have this gift because you are filled with real humility. There is a most beautiful connection you have with what you dream and hope and what you express.

I believe that the true heart of a poet/writer struggles always with countless forces that try to derail the vision, circumstance, insecurities, fears, and every other evil head that rises up to kill, steal, and destroy the essence of who we are, what we do, and who we are going to be.

Sometimes all it takes is a kind word, or a blessing from another to release the flow. This is one of your best and I have saved it!

You are blessed for being given this gem Taylor, and I am blessed to be your friend, and for being given the priviledge to read the heart of a real poet.

In friendship and respect!
Richard

Since I have been writing this past couple years I have become increasingly aware of song lyrics and feel that melody and words meld into my own poetic bed of creativity the whole time, even in the subconscious. You so well relate that thread of the nerve, tingle and frisson of life here, Taylor. When at such times a line or melody TOTALLY coincides with every aspect of my present being, I feel exceptionally alive - electric in fact. Tender and graceful, as Susan says, your work oozes, ebbs and flows like angel breath. Love the lines: "longing and strength collide as I listen intently to every note, every lyric memorised... while borrowing glistening images from my mind..."

And I share your passion for Van The Man... hopefully, might get tickets for an open-air concert at a national park close to here to see him at the end of July... Yey!! Eagles last week... Rolling Stones in August... my 70's jeans are just about holding together... :)) Love this, TY Kate xx
