there were those times by the window of day
when your eyes would slip across me from the side
like your fingers on the countertop sensation
and I had to look back tag you as it, after

before we opened the chinese food box smiles
and looked into each other's to see secrets
then traded them back and forth with our fingers
with knees touching and shoulders too on purpose

the stairway always seemed so distant behind us
but we slept through the journey within a kiss
and ended up closer to heaven in arm places
yours seemed so small but they were long enough

and sometimes we would talk about the ceiling
how it was watching through the little holes
that were pretending to be stars in our sky
then we would laugh like we knew each other

just before we began tempting the gods again

This makes me smile, Daark.  I like what I like because I like it and that's all I have to say about that, other than I like it.

These are verses that should not be hidden and forgotten in Pip archives, dear D.! (though we are all deeply grateful to Ron for creating these Pip archives!! It's the only place I guess where our poems are safely memorized ...).

They are universal, stirring to the point of making us stutter , yes you see, so what are you going to do about this?

This is extremely charming.

Love,
