On this night full of fall moon The dream that is you fills my closed eyes You - a pristine, old growth forest Standing tall and straight Scented with moss and pine Candlelight reflecting the love in your eyes Your softness, your sweetness, your strength I seem to have absorbed so much of you I feel I overflow You You are that part of me I love touched I feel I smell of you Sound like you Smile like you Even when we're apart I dream of you Our flesh, one flesh, A union transcendent Radiant of love's heat I breathe your breath My heart I swear has your beat I perspire - it is you With sculpting fingers Our hungers - come to life Hands leaving the hot brands Searing our skins Out of body I watch - yet Feeling, delirious, dizzy falling, tensing, flushed Long after I wake I'll remember this moment You will remain Yea, after we are but memories Always You are - I am Part of each other We define love |

You have found and penned the perfect definition of love and I can only wish for you that you have this for all your days. Beautiful work my friend and wearer of the crown. |

Victoria- Never have I felt so deeply before - and if depth is any measure of durability or constancy - I feel very secure - thank you Peppermint - yes - there is hope - there are others who share the same love - don't shy away - risk all - but it doesn't belong to the shy Thank you Paula- Even the lowly vulture can't always just wish It too must occasionally must create it own carrion - so too with great love - Mark - a perfect definition? - perhaps- I'd like to think a good one - it defines me - and subtly includes my prayers - time will tell Thank you Martie- If my lady love tingles when she reads this - there's hope for me yet - Thank you Karilea- I'm getting a message here - does this mean -some love isn't soft? that I might write about another aspect? - oK - I'll see what I can do |
