                         A letter

I wrote you a letter. Just words to be read. I wanted you to know. You are my everything. My mystery to try to understand and comprehend. I know you have hidden thoughts and different life. I wanted to tell you. I need your silken skin against me and to hear your gentle voice in the midnight hours of living. I know you walk on delicate places and are afraid of self-made prisons. Sweet lady, love should not be a prison. Should be a place where people adrift in each other kiss and embrace. Not hiding the imperfections and allowing tears and sorrow to be free and safe. Just an letter my darling. Just words to tell you. I love who you are and what you are becoming.

Hi John, gone are the personal days of the letter. I Loved just to sit back on the couch and slowly peruse each letter sent. I take the letter for what it is my friend, a letter to a lady, a Love. Your words always have a gentle way John and i Love that. In the end it matters not how the letter would be taken, the letter in itself is a small work of art. The picture and the words complimenting each other in this little gem. Fly free my little bird and if your heart sings with mine you shall come to me. There are no prisons in Love. This, to me, is a letter of Love. The recipient shall know she is deeply wanted but it is her decision in the end what she wishes to do. As i say John, it says fly free, make your own choices. An excellent little gem. Your Friend....Vladislav.

A mysterious and suspense letter to me as I read through it. First it intrigues me who is this girl is and why is this love didn't blossom. I couldn't ruled out that it is unrequited or unreciprocated. It sort of the other side is not yet ready for some long term commitment. What is self made prison.? hmmm
Love if its pure and sincere is not a prison but a fortress of security and strength. Then the words "delicate places " ..another mystifying usage of words which could mean anything....I wonder if its something that can't be reconciled that easily or its something that go against someones cultural beliefs or traditions... Regardless of what this girl would want to be and become and to be with ...The letter is a consignment that she is loved tenderly and miss regardless of whatever ...

Thank you Neil. I like the days of letter. More personal and we can hold on to them. I kept all my letter from my time in the service. They gained value with time.

I do agree as well CP than text or e-mail . Mail or letter is more personal and special with the fact that the person took his time to choose and pen his words and choose the stationary paper and perhaps kiss it before he sealed the envelop ...Then walk or drive to post office to get a stamp and along the way he bump into someone whom he had not seen for a long time like a long lost friend whom he lost contact .One thing led to another . Just saying the possibilities when we have contact with people instead of electronics or computer .

I haven't got a real letter in 15 years. This is sad.

[NeiL ArandA]

Me too from my family . I have an american missionary friend that sends me letters and update . I get excited and I feel special and important . And I save those letters .

[Coyote Poetry]

These are letters that become more precious with time.

Thank you Anne. I appreciate the comment.

I love this! He says a couple of times, "just words to tell you," but those words are words every woman needs to hear. I especially love the line, "my mystery to try to understand and comprehend." Not everyone is willing to try to solve those mysteries, and yet that is really what makes love exciting. :) very nice!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Shawna for reading and the comment. I miss the days of the love letters. Something to hold on to.
