Now I know
the taste of satin
seeded lips
mounded passion
and the needful press
of chest--
I pray for sleep--
forgetfulness.

Now I know
the ice of steel
the urge to love
the unreal "real"
a witchful wish
becoming flame
each difference
remaining same.

Fire
Ice
Night and day...
I do not simply change this way.
There is a path to follow thus--
from plus to negative to plus...
Conduit of the battery--
active receptivity--
a constant path
hidden in me--
the charge
of electricity.

Good Morning! As sleep may not have came to you....but I dream of the solid constancy you have mastered. Even in darkness..at least it's consistent. Beautiful write.

Sincerely,
Regina

==============================

this I already knew...
youre the flame baby....just ask archy  

We're all feeding our lonely ... like it might go away,
Like the doors of heaven will swing wide ... if we just find the right words to say.

Thank you all, and I am SO TORN---I want so badly to go for the obvious "cheap shot" regarding batteries, but alas, I am wearing a shiny new star this week, so I am feeling compelled to behave....so, I'll just say thanks...and exit with a  !
