Mahogany Swirls Mahogany swirls of auborn hair Flowing cascades of satin blend Dancing tangles of passion care Clinging embrace of lust crescend Mounting surge of restless release Surging flows of temptation build Lover's massage rest in velvet crease Toss of ecstasy in symphony's guild Hesitant breath filling pending gasp Clutch of nails plow fields on back Starving lips gulp in surging grasp Trace of tongue racing nectar's track Mahogany swirls sending fears aloft Slashing time in created winds so soft Rested sighs on manifest coming due Whispers softly spoken of "I love you" Mark Christopher [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 11-09-2000).] |

Mark, a very alluring title bade me read further. As I did, I found tenderness, playfulness and passion in this lovely poem. Any woman would certainly be honored to be the subject of such esteemed and sensual attention as the poem explores both the emotional and physical nuances of loving. Wonderfully written. Rainydays |

'Mahogany swirls sending fears aloft Slashing time in created winds so soft Rested sighs on manifest coming due Whispers softly spoken of "I love you"' Well, Mark, you've done it again. I've been saying that a lot lately, haven't I? Anyway, my friend, very sensual, romantic write. Love it!!  sp I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

Mark Your poem is as beautiful as what you describe. I love the title and how it's applied. This is a poem to make anyone swoon, for sure, but more than that, it's beauty is to be remembered Liz |

Sometimes when I forget that I'm only 18, I remember some things like this that I've never experienced. Reading this was better than sex. But since I haven't had sex, I imagine most things still are better than sex. *grins* Loved your imagery...I was so there. |

Mark my friend, Daphne and Sue, have insisted on having this on the screen through their whole shift. And they want me to tell you that they have actually enjoyed work today because of it. (They've enjoyed it because they haven't done any.) No seriously I've managed to get them to do some. Anyway they both send you their thanks and lots of sighs. Take care Mushy Marsha (What will I do with them?!!) Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Mark my friend, had to come back to this one tonight of all nights. I'm in serious need of something to make my night fly by. Considering the images that this gives me, I'd say this was jus the perscription for what ails me tonight. (And Daphnie doesn't appreciate this half as much as I do!) This is really such a beautiful poem, and I really do love it.Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Mark, sweetie~ Please drop by the local hardware store and pick up one of the new-fangled thermometers that was used to check the temperature on this one - /pip/Forum43/HTML/000122.html After all - Oven temperatures may vary and I think it will come in handy for your next roasting !
