(a repost - from elsewhere - circa 1/99) Water nymph I'm in your spell Take me from my living hell Bathe me in your flowing fountain Nestled 'neath a blue-green mountain Let us dive in the aqua pool Take me, let me be your fool Watch me stand ever so tall As we splash 'neath your waterfall Let me feel your soft caress As I hold you in your dress Of emerald hue it so becomes I want to speak, my voice just hums I'll fold you gently in my love With the softest feathers of a dove Safely in my encircling arms Keep you safe from all alarms ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

I love the line, "I'll fold you gently in my love".... it's really a perfect line. This piece reflects a man's heart who can love very deeply. Thank you for the read.  |

This is a beautifully, serene piece, as JM described Wilfred. It flows smoothly and leaves me with playful, yet tender visions. A lovely read! Best wishes, /Kit |

Seraphin- Such a sweet compliment - thank you so much Doreen - I'm a poet- (or like to think I am) Poets are 'artists' I'm told - and 'artists' are passionate - QED (yes I feel deeply - and make no apology) Thank you~S~ Janet Marie- as one romantic gater to another - thank you ~S~ Kit - I'm glad you saw the playful side - Thank you Sunny1- I'm not at all sure - that words alone could satisfy a craving -  but that may be subjective Thank you Dale I will have to look up Corinne's post - thanks Dale Sven - I rather think you're right Thank you |

Amazing... this describes Nymph lake in RMN (right behind my house). A beautiful little green lake in the midst of the mountains... and the only one in the entire park with lily pads. Thank you for the thoughts of that place (which I swear is enchanted). It makes me want to sneak up unto its edge in the moonlight and wait for a water goddess to appear... a lovely piece, Wilfred. ~ Beth [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Cor (edited 10-16-2000).] |

Man oh man Bill, I'd sure like to say a couple of things to these responses... Awe, I catch 'em later. Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am. To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight. -Marge Tindal |

Beth- I don't know the acronym RMN -(probably just as well) but it sounds like Canada- perhaps Manatoba. - Anyhow - it sounds most beautiful - Thank you Lucky- it's ok - I can wait - I'm sure you're storing gems ~G~ |
