Lead me to the twilight delta
where every bubble speaks-
and tongues wag artlessly on streams.

Lead me to the honeycomb-
where kisses cultivate in bleak stages
until they burst bittersweet.
Lead me there.

Lead me to Chesapeake Bay
where inland, I untie my grief,
release my sail-
and fling my shells and stones
into the air!

Lead me to the embers-
the sugar fires; to the driftwood..
Dip my fingers in maple-
sweeten your flesh with spiral strokes…

Lead me to our bed,
Dream away my body, mind and spirit.
Shower me in rosewater-
love me,
lest I stop believing.



-befriend yourself and you will never be alone-

(sigh) Soooooooo beautifully captivating, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Martie, thank you I am SO glad you liked it.

Dear Lady of Shallot - This is just beautiful! Going in my library. Chris

Lead me to your bed,
Dream away my body, mind and spirit.
Plunge me in deeper waters,
lest I drown
before I believe it can happen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love this!!!  What a beautiful write.
~hugs, Nancy~

So that you won't ever forget me.~
