~*~ His Kiss ~*~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Will he see her for who she is? Inside her dwell tentacles of terror. She wears the scars of a battered and bruised woman on her aching heart. ~*~ The first tentative awakening stirs at the tender touch of his hand, beguiling her with words of love. She hesitates, curling into yesterday’s fear. ~*~ Not trusting her own soft heart she feels such yearning for that warmth wanting to lose herself in him. He declares his desire to make her his. ~*~ Trembling with her indecision, yet craving the sensation of belonging, terrified of the loneliness and loss. She hesitates at yesterday’s reflection. ~*~ Will he understand the hesitation, envelop her with gentle tenderness and nurture the slow beginnings while she warms herself in his fire? ~*~ Desire becomes her compass on this journey. She slowly drifts into his arms, Strong against her inner storms of fear, and is swallowed up in his kiss. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ art: Steve Hanks "The Kiss" - www.allwall.com ~* If you want a rainbow, sometimes you just have to put up with a little rain *~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 09-19-2001).] |

As I read I drifted on a pop corn cloud in a gentle aromatic breeze and was swallowed by your most loving,serene heart-felt work of magical romance. In this time of tragic happenings it's always nice to read something soothing. Bravo!!!   Maggie ((~.~)) |

You have painted a picture of someone you want to find true love....You created a whole personality in such a few words. Super!! Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

I , very recently, experienced this poem for real. and it was wonderful, but the infatuation period leaves quickly and my heart is in pain at the reality of the long term view of things. Poems are made of this romance and desire. I am so very hurt all over again that i should just give up on the male gender and concentrate on less romantic notions. I won't find what Dawn found..that I know for my time is short at Hand. I LOVE YOU , MY FRIEND AND LOVE YOUR POETRY . I RE-VISITED YOUR WEBPAGE AND ENJOYED IT SO VERy MUCH. LOVE, kOKO Aloha with warmest regards, Koko |

She hesitates, curling into yesterday’s fear. I know this feeling all too well. very beautifully expressed. And a gentleman always understands..... May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat... |

Walker ~ Yes, there are men that do care, and one has to "get a bad apples in the barrel to appreciate the sweet ones!" Koko ~ Oh hon, I will call you! How many times do I warn people of "internet romance", see when the fantasy wears off, and they eat their food with their mouths open, that is reality, and when you accept that - it works! Hey...your time is NOT short - guess what? Maggie (79 years old, in a wheelchair, and paralized down one side has herself a boyfriend!), but a big hug to you anyway, love can hurt sometimes, but the beauty is, we get lots of chances to find our soulmate and YES Dawn and Andy did, but that was beating the odds, and I have told her that! They were lucky! A Whisper's Caress ~ I too know that feeling, and wrote this from its memory, thank you. Martie ~ Unless you have been like this woman it is hard to explain, but yes, you are so fragile, that even someone brushing by you too close, makes you jump! Irish Rose ~ Honey you say that every time I use some of this artist's work - so know what I am going to do, share his site with you here it is http://www.leslielevy.com/SHLimited%20Edition%20by%20Title.htm - his name, is Steve Hanks, not Tom, like I always put My Enchanted Melody ~ That was the line! A frightened, love-starved, but needy woman! Wow, I didn't think anyone would even like this one, so thank you all for your responses. Yanno, an abused woman in whatever form, has a long way back to trusting and if a man is gentle, understanding, and has patience, they have themselves one wonderful woman, as all she ever wanted was ONE man! |
