If I were going to need you, I'd fall from within myself, Dazzle you with my smiles, And test the trail of unquenched madness. Madness is what would follow, In a world, Where I could be allowed, To need you without limit. Possibilities may be endless, But actions are limited, To forbidden facts, And annoying walls of friendly defense. If I were going to need you, You'd rest here in my world, Agreeably ready and willing, To take on my newfound adventures. If I were going to need you, I would still be here rambling. I'm still here. |

Temptress, I loved the form and ending of this one and I'm glad I didn't read it before I posted, cause it gave me a whole new way of thinking and I'd have been here all night trying to get my head and my words around it. Good challenge. Great post. Be well Kethry. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

I'm getting a little group going at the front for all the night owls, or early birds who haven't read or responded to this challenge yet. Won't you join us? Great work. Oh I already said that didn't I  "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
