THE LOOK
22 April 2011

She was writing
at her yellow-wooded desk,
in the quiet of the night,
tranquil, pen moving hungrily
over the paper,
with her dog at her feet
and her cat on the desk.

Silently he appeared in the doorway.
She sensed the warmth of his presence
and turned her head upwards to him
and their smiling eyes bridged the distance
and the room glowed
in their radiance.

Romance most beautifully expressed. You radiate love through every word, dear Owl.

Thank you, my dear friend, Margherita.  Coming from the Epitome of Love of all good kinds, that is praise indeed!   Smiles.

. . . and that is how it is when both are attuned to the galaxy's wonderful passion machine . . .

Beautiful is the only word that describes this poem. You write it in a way that I felt I was there.

Thank you, Jerry.  Yes, you are right, but there is so much more than just passion.

Thank you, Yann, for your lovely reply.

Than you, Marcia, for your kind words.

"tranquil, pen moving hungrily
over the paper"

...loved the way you described the writing process...makes me wish my muse would visit more often

Thank you, Steaven.  Why wait for your muse to visit you?  Try visiting your muse instead, Lol!
