WHISPERS OF LOVE
Light of flickering candles
Golden glow all around
Illuminating my face
Closing eyes in this space
Soul searching for you
Soft whisper of movement
Even in my darkest despair
Is it me or do I even dare
Wild beating of my heart
Shocking in its rawness
Could you hold me my love
For you can show me how
I want to live in your love
Walk on the waters of life
Empty my soul in this dream
Hold me….Console me

Neat poem as always, Amanda. And where do you find your graphics?!
July 27, 2010 at 1:30 pm
Thanks Jess…happy you liked it. I search forever to find the right image and sometimes play and edit until I get the right effect. I also have a friend that does graphic designing and am lucky to get many images from her. Much love ~ Amanda x (Searching in Google will give you many animated images as well)

I love the candle! The words of the poem are captivating. Together they make a beautiful ensemble. Thank you for sharing and taking the time to make such a beautiful blog.

I just listened to the music. Sublime!
July 27, 2010 at 1:05 pm
That song pulls at my heart strings:) 🙂 🙂

I think love never dies . . . If I may be so forward, you are still living in his love . . . Very dear poem and “Unchained Melody” – such a good oldie. Hugs and Hearts
July 27, 2010 at 1:05 pm
🙂 🙂 🙂 Hugs and Hearts to you too my dear friend 🙂 🙂 🙂

You’ve surrounded your gorgeous poem with touching images and music and the whole experience gave me goosebumps.
Jamie is right, “love never dies”

Once again, you’ve outdone yourself – love the words and the kiss inside the flame – and Righteous Bros…my knees always go weak when I hear them sing

It’s like a whisper caressing my skin from the inside.

Wow…those words I take on and treasure. I am fattered that you liked my poem Lee. Thanks from the heart, it means so much to have you here ~ Hugs x
July 27, 2010 at 11:34 am
Wonderful poem, not forced. Something we should all have in our lives.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. My angiogram is not tomorrow, still to be arranged. I was just saying about tomorrow, that my mood swings wildly, valleying now of course but probably will be a reason, something, tomorrow that will make it arc high. Thank you.
July 27, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Thanks so much Lawrence….it makes me very happy to see you here. Please keep me informed of when exactly you have the angiogram…I will be thinking of you and can only imagine how difficult it must be. Know that you’re thought of and I’m sending a big bear hug and love ~ Sweet dreams my friend x
July 27, 2010 at 12:02 pm
“Empty my soul in this dream” What a beautiful statement. I so feel like that at times. To empty all my hopes, day dreams, and desires into a capsule that has such an environment it harbors all of them. Searching for the hand that has left your grasp can be daunting. Really beautiful.
July 27, 2010 at 1:20 pm
I so appreciate you being here and thank you immensely for your always kind words. Hope you have a good day…(or is it time for sweet dreams?) ~ Amanda x
July 27, 2010 at 12:21 pm
oh my… this is such lovely poem… of hope, of sweet tender love asking for something to hold to, of seeing everything in love, of feeling the brightness of love around…
I liked the sound of this poem.. it’s so rhythmic, like a hushed whisper touching a ear before whooshing past..
Love really can do such wonderful things to us..can it not?
An enchanting picture you’ve painted here, Amanda!Thanks for sharing this sweet poem.. Loviieeezzzz
July 27, 2010 at 12:56 pm
oh.. and i totally forgot to mention.. THE IMAGE!! It’s absolutely LOVELY!!! It’s like you have put up an image that goes with my poem too…. how sweet and considerate of you 🙂
Luv ya girl!!!!
July 27, 2010 at 1:25 pm
You will be amazed at how much time I spend on getting the image right (and so the video) It sometimes takes longer than writing the poem LOL. Happy you liked it!! It was actually meant to “flicker” but for some reason, I can’t get it to work!! Mwah Mwah Mwah xxx
July 27, 2010 at 1:51 pm
If ever you want some special image for a project, let me know and I can forward it to you. Have so many! If you actually click on today’s candle to see the whole image, it will flicker….don’t know why not on the page. Hugsssssssssssssssssssss x
July 27, 2010 at 2:02 pm
oh…lovely!! I will definitely let you know if I need an image some time… that really very kind of of you.. 🙂 thank you girl!!!
Heyy… the image was flickering when I first opened this page.. but now it’s not.. weird! I clearly remember it flickering about an hour back!! That’s what held my attention for another 10 minutes !! 🙂
July 27, 2010 at 2:35 pm
It’s been playing up all the time…mine has not been flickering at all…tried everything:( :(….nevermind…it still tells the story! Mwah xxxxxx
