Oh Lara, let me tell you <br /> If I may, this one more time, <br /> How much I really love you, <br /> In poetry and in rhyme. <br /> <br /> I see our love more clearly, <br /> Though I'm blind in love with thee. <br /> I hold your love much closer, <br /> For it's yours through which I see. <br /> <br /> Your voice is, oh so soothing <br /> As your loving sounds come through. <br /> It keeps me ever yearning <br /> For the sounds of loving you. <br /> <br /> I feel loves sweet sensation <br /> Every time I hold your hand. <br /> And draw you ever closer <br /> For that feeling, oh so grand. <br /> <br /> Your kisses last forever <br /> As we hold our love in place, <br /> And taste sweet fruit and nectar <br /> When our loving lips embrace. <br /> <br /> I smell your pleasant fragrance <br /> As I wander near and far. <br /> Thankful to the girl I love <br /> For the flower that you are. <br /> <br /> Oh, Lara, please remember <br /> All the things we lovers say <br /> Are often gone tomorrow, <br /> Placed in dreams of yesterday. <br /> <br /> But if you've found contentment, <br /> For I know I've found the same. <br /> We'll have our love forever <br /> And we'll call it by your name. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I wish to dedicate this poem to Boris Pasternak for <br />the book, David Lean for the direction, Maurice Jarre <br />for the music, and to Omar Shariff whose portrayal of Zhivago inspired me to become a poet, and finally to Julie Christie <br />whose image of Lara made this poem possible after 35 <br />years of waiting for the gift to arrive.<br /><br />GREENWOLFE 1962<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lara-inspired-by-dr-zhivago/
