some sentiments are reliable, unchanging
uninfluenced by delusions of impossibility
not rooted in faded gardens of transient lust
but in indomitable solidarity of true admiration
and affection for the soul behind lyrical words
who caresses covert yearnings of the heart
investing in mutual intimacies beyond time
more, so much more, than splendor of words
or brilliant passion igniting tender imaginations
inhabiting an alliance within passing thoughts
some connections are timeless, pure, eternal
recognized beyond the confines of mere flesh
abiding in twisted labyrinths of candid desire
dwelling in effortlessness of what simply is
and it just is without alteration or duress
having become a component of who we have been
who we are and all we might aspire to become
this sincere, mutual admiration, deepest affection
is it love? surely it must be, verdantly germinated
in dark furrows of our souls, blooming in sunlight
of unpretentious warmth, embracing us, forever
Beyond the nuances and unspoken words your poem intimates how true love looks and feels to those who have ever known love. You have a touch with romance that is honest and knowledgeable. Fine poetry spoken with the conviction of experience my dear friend. Love and peace to you. Jon Michael
Dear la Belle Rouge. First I am pleased to tell you that your poem is not only great but it is a deep and sincere one. Your divine words are far reaching.

Thank you for sharing, my friend. Love Emile
In this work, Belle, your mind shines, and your soul. I've had the privilege of reading your poetry over the past two years or so but here you've taken me beyond privilege.
In sincere admiration,
Inner truths of an existant though often invisible or intangible reality have never been expressed as beautifully, fully or elegantly as this, Belle. Totally mwah as is all your heart-and-soul-breathed romance. Love this... and you! xxx
Love is all and it never disappears; I can relate to what you have expressed so eloquently through your verses here, Belle. Thank you. Love and best wishes,
And? Is it not true that the same refrain repeats through time and distance over and over...refusing to go away. It reminds us that it has long become a part of us. Refusing to die, and coming up to the surface to breathe. Beautiful sentiments never die.
