Lay Open the Envelope

one thing as one shan't ever do
to see one's flesh as fair beauty
open this the envelope of me
experience more than you could see
'tis all I should ask of you

sagaciously seek my orb of gaiety
and fathom then intimate mystery
witness within the lee of me
this envelope that is for thee
and not for all the world to see

an envelope reveals a multitude of things
e'en shy erudite wisdom, burning bright
that would for thee as ochroid word shall sing
long and true into the depths of night
see thee what this envelope would bring

this envelope would envelop thought
of what confidence might be sought
of what indeed this envelope brought
once now that your attention is caught
indeed, 'tis so, t'would be your lot

to envelop the envelope that carries me
in these the words that you solitarily see

Karilea,

And within the depths of that envelope I see much beauty. This is very lovely. Thank you.

Never before have I had such an urge to play Post Office.

I think about opening the envelope and carefully removing the fragile contents that have been entrusted to me and my eyes only. I can only hope and dream that one day I shall receive such a gift.

I do, however, have the gift of being able to read your works which are a source great inspiration to me and a font of indescribable pleasure.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.
