The corridor between silences reverberated rhythmic breathing Where the mind sculpts sound to form visual speech And what became the product of each exhaled sigh Explored with sentient muse Exclaimed in fondle, from head to sole, her hands uncovered truth Slender fingers of beguiling thoughts transcended muscle and bone Seeking the familiar of her dreams, his forehead smoothed from furrow Her finger play on silken lash and oval, closed his eyes releasing streams in secret Streams she followed to gently arched and parted petals Trembling in pursuit of stiffened reticent, now moist with tears Involuntary tastes of sweet and salt, The moment pursed in anguished ask me anything, she whispered as she did Further to the fall of slopes to shoulder length and oh the full expanse of frame That pounded there beneath her hands, in statement of forbidden lands Revealing without words the cutting off of river to sea And holding him so tenderly, breaking sound and every rule Their touch entwined, and lost became the sculpt of mind To give its vision raw created in the lay of land beneath His hand And stepping into twilight, sending loneliness to knees That filled her with him, leaving room for but a memory of then Together they learned Braille Copyright Kkh 11/13/04 |

K. I believe your muse is inspired by who knows who, but whoever...doesn't matter. You are writing at a level above anything you have written before. Onward McDuff, onward...to the stars and beyond. |
