I am hand A song made from deep look tremble with tone of one finger drawn on skin across the scrape of twilight grace is caught naked in my expression I pull a ruffled demure and sweep back hair as if its sail would stop the breeze I marry with warm absorb the knowing of holding something and somatically learn what was left unsaid I speak heart tongue fragile strong give tender Capable culpable paired to task into the wielding of weight and fragile I can stop a baby’s cry and bring a love to tears I am hand my roots are blue twigs that flow the heart river and take it to the reach of further to grasp at chance and hold on tight for in the lake she thinks too big I am the magic ripple |

Oh Martie!! This..... "I pull a ruffled demure and sweep back hair as if its sail would stop the breeze" -------------------------------------- and then.... "I am hand my roots are blue twigs that flow the heart river and take it to the reach of further to grasp at chance and hold on tight for in the lake she thinks too big I am the magic ripple" ------------------------------------------- Dang girl! I would say, 'teach me please' but a talent like this cannot be taught..but rather comes from deep inside...a rare gift. OH! How I love the way you write! ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Martie darling girl this is simply exquisite writing. I can see your heart within this, and the soft swell of passion is within the love you write, written with the delicacy of touch that only you can do. You simply with apparent ease write the words within your heart and the result is breathtaking and haunting. You have such a way of places the words so that they drape over my soul like a mantle of sighs. Tenderly soft and loving memories, this is truly exquisite writing. I love it utterly and this is another keeper.   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

A simple appendage, most often taken for granted... until we see it through Martie-eyes... and suddenly, it isn't a tool for writing poetry but poetry itself. *S* This is superb, Martie... Others said it better and sooner... but the delicate images are delightful. *S* |

Martie... "I pull a ruffled demure and sweep back hair as if its sail would stop the breeze" I've seen that picture and always thought it was framed in feminine romanticism. Pensive visions of peace collecting deep sensual thoughts from the reticent soul. Superb writing! |
