A collar pulling day Snuggling the chin in The lip numbing crisp air Walking to the local book store Still.. the street crowded Faces shrouded Hurried Must get to the store in time To select my novel of choice To keep my mind knitting Sweaters of imagination During the hibernation Of the bitter cold. Within an hour I had my stash Merrick and Pandora Seemed wickedly enough To suffice the long moments Anne always pays the price for me. Upon leaving the shoppe My books knocked from me By a cloaked man Aggravated I bent to retrieve them He stopped just to give a hand As apologetic as he was I never looked up Just dusted off my brief anger His voice was smooth and sincere I thought he lit away He stood long enough For me to catch a silken shadow Just around the green of his eyes Whatever I was going to say I forgot it He held me in swells of shining shores Never before had I seen such space And time released as a Nova Within the sparkling stones he bore A single breath in, then out Then gone...I turned...blushing Heating the chilling breeze Etched from the stoic chisel He had smoothed into my space Remembering clutched books Remembering how cold the winter Really is. It's all in the mind Except for what's in the heart. http://www.mygem.net/heartquill [This message has been edited by rwood (edited 11-04-2001).] |

Wow, I'm off to the bookstore, see if I can bump into a mesmerizing stranger!!! Actually, I was going to go there yesterday, for the same reason as you. There's nothing like a cold winter day for wrapping up in front of the fire with a good book. I spend most of my winter in that position. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Regina~ This felt like a scene out of a movie...I really got wrapped up in it! I love the deep undertones that come through between the lines. Lovely thoughts! hugs, ~Krista  Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too [This message has been edited by SmittenKitten (edited 11-04-2001).] |

Janet: Thanx bunches! I'm the bookworm for sure.  Nancy: I may try again..depends on my Muse...but I surely thank you for your gracious comment! Karen: You are so good for encouragement! Thank you very much!!! Hugs! Tracey: Yes...books are very good to me in winter...would feel so lost without them. Thanks Lady! Krista: I appreciate you so for seeing things as you do...I'm so glad I conveyed it to you that way! Hugs! Martie: That is the essence here...especially when you don't choose it to happen...it just does..very rare in the blushing department....Thank you so much! It's all in the mind |

I experienced the "bustling" sort of action as you moved, and the descriptive nature of your closing stanzas is sharp, and exact. Another keeper, I'd say. Willie B |

Dear Regina, you truly live in a world of enchantment which I envy, your stranger of mistery and charm surely looks back on the same moment with a heart still yearning your smile of forgiveness. Moments like these do not come all that often, and when they do we seem to do too little with them, another moment of regret. Loved the read Regina, another great piece. Sincerely Rick |

Whatever I was going to say I forgot it He held me in swells of shining shores Never before had I seen such space And time released as a Nova Within the sparkling stones he bore A single breath in, then out Then gone...I turned...blushing Heating the chilling breeze Etched from the stoic chisel He had smoothed into my space Remembering clutched books Remembering how cold the winter Really is. excellent writing..you once again capture the imagination of the reader with imagery and metaphor that leaves them longing for more...and in this case perhaps for green eyes that in some way effect you...as did this mystery.... lovely write... as usual. |

"Merrick and Pandora". . . of course. . . I like this. . . a piece of a day. . . a piece of life. . . the emotions. . . like you are the observer of your own life. . . that's the best isn't it?? great job. . . ------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Wow !! This could be the start of a great novel !! I am intrigued. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

This just proves that things that go bump in the day sometimes have more impact than those bump in the night. (facetiously smiling here) |
