Sighs sail within aqua dewdrops < !signature-->And stream across my dreams... Delirious kisses touch my skin Like warmth from pale sunbeams... Silver petals of liquid light Fall gently in swooning eyes... No thought drifts between us here Beneath forever's sky... ...Breathe...just breathe... Whispered words do glitter gold Upon a pearled rainbow's wing... And with the swell of emotion's tide The harmony of love I sing... Enwreathed within your tender arms Teardrops of bliss do fly... And caught within this perfect moment Our souls together sigh... ...Breathe...and simply be... *Krista Knutson* First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. ~Epictetus~ [This message has been edited by Alwye (edited 06-15-2000).] |

ahh..This could set a mood. It is truly wonderful to read such work. I loved it. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

~krista this was breathtaking. i felt like i was floating on the air of love from beginning to end. such vivid imagery and beautiful emotion you created! take care. amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Whispered words do glitter gold Upon a pearled rainbow's wing... And with the swell of emotion's tide The harmony of love I sing... Enwreathed within your tender arms Teardrops of bliss do fly... And caught within this perfect moment Our souls together sigh... I am in a total state of calmness after reading that poem...so beautiful, really wonderful...just..sigh ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.

This poem reminds me of the special times I spend with my love each evening before we fall asleep and each morning as we awake. We call it "skin time" when we simply hold each other, half asleep, half awake, feeling each others skin against our own and listening to each other breathing. Thank you, you have made me smile. |

Krista~ 'Enwreathed within your tender arms Teardrops of bliss do fly... And caught within this perfect moment Our souls together sigh...' What lovely phrasings from your heart. Enwreathed - is that lovely, or what? Your talent is so enjoyed by us all. I'm so glad you share. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
