"The Nymph's Reply"
Sir Walter Raleigh

1 If all the world and love were young,
2 And truth in every shepherd's tongue,
3 These pretty pleasures might me move
4 To live with thee and be thy love.

5 Time drives the flocks from field to fold,
6 When rivers rage and rocks grow cold,
7 And Philomel becometh dumb;
8 The rest complains of cares to come.

9 The flowers do fade, and wanton fields
10 To wayward winter reckoning yields;
11 A honey tongue, a heart of gall,
12 Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.

13 Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses,
14 Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies
15 Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten,--
16 In folly ripe, in reason rotten.

17 Thy belt of straw and ivy buds,
18 The coral clasps and amber studs,
19 All these in me no means can move
20 To come to thee and be thy love.

21 But could youth last and love still breed,
22 Had joys no date nor age no need,
23 Then these delights my mind might move
24 To live with thee and be thy love.

Those were beautiful words Daffodil. Now did that special person ever write any of his own words?

I wonder why most men are afraid of writing words from the heart?

Could it be fear of sounding silly? Or maybe most don't know how to write? Or they did write poems but would NEVER dare to admit it?

I think the first poem I wrote was in 98, I may have wrote one for a school assignment, but that was so long ago, I can't remember. Actually once you start, it's not that hard, even if there are a few grammar and spelling errors, I would BET you gals would be extremely thrilled to receive one from your partner.

And yes, this is a smooch-able zone. I have the permit from SI.

Smooch!
