in a place where love was buried--
we resurrected the dead.
dancing to the ancient song
you held me close--

dont let go...
     a whisper.

feeling your body
pressed against mine...

dont leave--
     stay.

what is real, what is alive
is within my grasp.
hold me
just one more time.
we will laugh together
hearing it echo.
touch me once more
and i will give in;
the helpless
          of the hopeless...

to taste the sweetness of your lips
to touch...to feel...to know...

the resurrection of the dead--
          did you see?

Keep cleaning the cobwebs out of the attic. I enjoyed "the resurrection of the dead--"

dg,

Thanks for digging . . . you just never know what you will find.

Dee, this is outstanding work, really and truly excellant. You just keep clearing out that attic, these are fantastic, and you knew I'd say that I know. Still my mam used to say you can never tell people to often that they are love and admired. Because you can never tell in this world what will happen. Which is true, isn't it. So I shall continue to applaud and cheer as often as I can. (Which is another reason I'm writing my Songs Of Passions I want to tell you all how great and admired you all are   )
Take care
