you parted lips

as if
     to say


but then

your eyes

thought

better

I'm in wonder of the breath control in this -- and what was imparted.

Brian I love brevity and this piece shines with it.  Well done.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

This is a li'l sparkler, poetically that is.

Was this about a woman? I mean, I've bitten my tongue clear through before.
But a woman? Never known it to happen,
myself.

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

Alright now, I simply can't let that go. Did wranx just say a woman can't keep her mouth shut?! Darn, and I just proved him right didn't I??

I hope you know how wonderful this is. You have captured a universal moment of humanity...I'll bet you even think in "stll shots"--this IS what that is...smiling...

By the way..this right here?


"as if

I love this, you took words and made a physical impact with them--I'm surprised a tongue did not come out to lick those lips--very visual, brian...
