Oh! This gave me a feeling of Robin Hood... Like Maid Marion and Robin hood... searching for each others hearts... very romantic.... this love poem is very romantic and of course the nature tones just top it off for me... love this!

If the site would let me nominate this, I most certainly would! Gorgeous piece of writing, I've truly missed reading. I see your heart blossoming as always. I felt so much emotion in this, it seems as though you're waiting on the most opportune moment and hoping this person comes around. Hold onto these feelings, I think they are definitely something that could be mutual. Well done!

Oh Maryanne...your poetry just does something to my poetic bones like you wouldnt believe. I adore it so much!!

Beyond mountains, nestled in tunnels where
the lights know nothing of traffic and each shadow
depicts another inch of rain...

^^ I only dream of being able to write that beautifully...the way you just phrased your words here creates an absolutely vivd image!

Somehow, will you reveal yourself while
I am here among the forests, rivers, bridges
all leading somewhere.

^ Just wondering though, since you said will you, should there be a question mark? Or was it a statement that should say you will..I wasnt sure how to read that.

And that ending...girl, I dont even know what to say. Astounding. Truly, truly is. So incredibly creative...your heart the bow..his heart the dang center of the target...what the hell...who thinks of that! Im just so overwhelmed with the feeling of two hearts colliding right now. Epic! :)

love it, love you
