Here I was on the sofa, sitting in somewhat dimmed light I was looking around, but what I saw wasn't very bright The music they were playing sounded quite romantically And I could see a pair of eyes, gazing at me you see He looked at me with such a glance, felt something weird for sure If he thought I'm an easy catch, then he's in for some tour The candlelight shone in my eyes..I smiled invitingly I knew by then he took the bait and would come out to me And yes he did, got out his chair and came right by my side The coffee table on his path he shoved it just aside So there he was, looking at me and reached out for my hand I thought why not and gave him the look 'I really understand' He pulled me up, his eyes on mine, the smile still on his face He just stood there like a teen and all he could do was gaze For him the world had vanished, just disappearing from view While taking my hand to his lips he mumbled "I love you" Then he was bending his head down to my lips and kissed me I thought why not and surrounded his neck quite willingly The kiss was firm and grew stronger, his body pressing mine I let him think, that this could last untill the end of time Then the music stopped suddenly and someone hit the light His smile just froze when I stood up wishing him a 'Good Night' I smiled at this man's blushing face and told him very kind Kissing ladies of eighty one......will keep them young in mind  [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (06-30-2002 08:36 PM).] |

Well Titia, you took the "Deer" on and gave him a run for his money! Look out for lots of those knuffles, as I bet they are coming your way, and then we will see a 58 year young gal blushing like crazy. Great job girl. You just wait until you meet Michael and hear him read or recite rather (he knows them all by heart yet!) Good for you! |

The light was dim, I must admit, as I sat in the room. I saw her figure sitting there across me in the gloom. I couldn't see her face because the light was turned down low But just the way she sat there made emotions overflow. Her posture was quite regal, prim and proper sitting there. Her clothing fit her perfectly and she had long brown hair. I walked across the room and sat beside her in the dark And, when she answered my hello, her voice was meadowlark. I asked her what she did in life - she said a "knuffel Queen". Since I had no idea, I said,"Just what do you mean?" Well, she showed me a knuffel and another one or two And I was paying homage by the time that she was through! Then someone turned the lights up bright, as bright as any sun And she said, "Now you see your Knuffel Queen is 81!" I put her arm in mine, and smiling, walked her out of there And said, "My dear, with knuffels that delicious....I don't care!!!"  [This message has been edited by Balladeer (06-30-2002 09:51 PM).] |
