Surrender ........ Tanka Poem ..... Revisited .......


Surrender to me

Every soft beat of your heart

Fill it with my love

Let it touch your lonesome soul

While making both of us whole

  7. Kitty, by no means... I said I was flattered and I meant it. When someone ask you to post your poem on their site, that is a great compliment. Maybe I should have not used the word jester. I apologize, I am very distracted at this moment.. It shall come out soon...

  8. No worries...just wasn't sure what you meant and I obsess about things until I understand them, even if it's a silly little word like jester, lol!

    Love,
    Kitty
