Love Poem

Your lips speak soft sweetness
Your touch a cool caress
I am lost in your magic
My heart beats within your chest

I think of you each morning
And dream of you each night
I think of your arms being around me
And cannot express my delight

Never have I fallen
But I am quickly on my way
You hold a heart in your hands
That has never before been given away
- Rex A. Williams -


I chose this poem because it describes a special time period in one's life when strong feelings grow towards another human being.

We have taken a new stand and logic on the way the media has influenced us to believe in our justice system or the way we critique it.
