Take My Heart Away "The silk lady told me that she loves me just before the moment I kissed her lips. This is not the first time she told me nor the last time her lips will feel my kiss." As I met the silk lady in Hong Kong at her favorite hideaway she was wearing a bright red Chinese dress and the jade bracelet that I had bought for her from a very old Chinese antique dealer in Pearl City. Like always she was gorgeous as she laughed and smiled. She greeted me in a mixture of Chinese, French and English that I loved to listen to but barely understood except for the "I love you". In her presence again I felt totally relaxed and ready for some fun, rest and adventure. I didn't mind that she mixed up the languages and keeps me guessing at times because it all adds to the allure of the silk lady. Her housewarmer appeared and announced that the candlelight dinner she prepared would be ready by six...on the menu was turkey, peking duck, okinawan potates, baked macadamia nuts, corn on the cob, roasted brocolli and pumpkin pie with whipped cream to sweeten up my dreams. She had also arranged for singers and dances from the local clubs to perform, including a ballerina for later in the evening when her cousin would be playing some Beethoven and Mozart, it would be a wonderful evening. By the end of the day everyone would be on their way and it would be just the silk lady and me to take my heart away. JamesLee 24November 2012 |

The stuff dreams are made of. Sounds like a day and night you'll never forget.  Michael |

Wonderful and delightful is your silk lady. Would that everyone could experience the delight as you did. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
