What would I miss the most if you were no longer here? Sweet words of love whispered softly into my ear. Falling asleep each night encircled in your arms. Smiling at the knowledge you can't resist my charms. Or the way you reach out, touching as I walk past. Unconditional love, always putting me first. Holding me close to you, your warm breath on my face. All that I would miss, if, I had it in the first place. Stand straight and tall, not the reflection as others see you, but as you truely are.

Falling asleep each night encircled in your arms. Smiling at the knowledge you can't resist my charms. Or the way you reach out, touching as I walk past. Love the image those last 2 lines leave. I’ll go to puppy class…if Tracey will go to cooking class |

Dee- One day when your eyes are to the sky searching for the wisdom of eagles and the strength of the wind, I imagine you are going to find a constellation written just for you and it will go something like this .................... What would I miss if there were no ear to whisper in? Soft petals of lobes where each night would begin. Trailing tangles of embrace caressing each thought Smiling at your charms that this day to me brought Reaches of passion desperate to share this dance Kisses of unconditional love given with every chance Lips to cheek in the comfort of peaceful sleep Searching the heavens for a dream; yours to keep ........................... Your life is only just beginning now that you have taken the drivers seat and I for one will be watching your travels and rejoicing with each new turn of happiness you find as you highlight it on your map of memories. I know I nag about you not being here when I finally returned, but you know that I am elated to see you where your life is headed. Take your time and keep an eye on the sky and I will be as patient with your return as you were with mine. Archives work for all of us you know. |

This is very special your writing is always a cut above this is especially tender. I can only say this is perfect, truly beautiful writing and It has the words entwined in a weave of unsurpassed beauty do I love it? You know I do. Truly exquisite excellent writing absolutely excellent. I’m left mouth agape and the images and the way you write it is incredible. Utterly utterly perfect. Well done darling heart well done indeed you are incredible.  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |
