Stairway To My Heart ~*Marge Tindal*~ You lay across the stairway to my heart Softly I tread your memories one small step at a time Footprints of desire leave a trace of just who you were and just where I want you to be Tiptoeing quietly so as not to disturb the plush-memoried patterns I sink into the lushness of you Filled with pleasured romping Frolicking with gaiety I ascend the staircase Sighing at the delight of you one small step at a time ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Wow Marge! that sounds like a wonderful memory stairway. I love how you melted in the memories as you ascended....you were even being a little naughty .....but, hey that goes with the hole memory package...just wonderful writing Marge as usual... I am going to tip toe out quietly now so as not to disturb any of the plush-memoried patterns I have of this poem...I'm taking it with me. |

Auguste~ So pleased to be able to give you a pleasured moment of reading. Vicky~ I'm happy as a puppy with sharing ! Thank you. MarkB~ Tee-Hee ! I'm gonna blow my cover and give you the story behind the inspiration for this one. I stopped by the carpet store and picked up samples last evening for re-doing my stairway. Wouldn't you just know it ..... as I layed the samples on the steps these thoughts just came to me. The poem is done .... the new carpet is not ! Oh, I'm such easy prey for the muses ! Now if they could just lay carpet ... I'd put them to work ! Thank you for your encouragement of what I do .... I appreciate you. Oh ! Do you lay carpet ?????  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Wow Marge, sounds like a trip on a stairway to the stars....Funny, I stopped by a carpet shop yesterday, and the only thoughts I had were about dog hair and muddy shoes.... You are amazing! Bonnie |

Gee Marge, this leaves me nothing short of jealous...especially the line" "Softly I tread your memories one small step at a time" I can think of a dozen things I could have fit that into, and a couple that would be a good opener for... Beautiful, jwesley |
