The Strings of Your Closed Eyes

I could sing this song all day
my love in glorious abandon spreading
across the glass of your blue tune
the length of you I play
on the strings of your closed eyes
with the silky husk of time’s finger tips
that leaks such stories
that my heart weeps blood
and gets tangled in the twisted gossamer.

Dance with me in dreamy dare
in this fragrant rhythm I feel real
and I will pull you to my strength
and you will feed me chocolate
and touch me with your tongued
legs wrapped and pulsing
across the place where a day
becomes a life

and for this time of stars and moons
laughter will be our clothing
and listening will be our food
for this is what I whisper
in my flowing lacy sweep of time
I whisper now is forever
sing to me forever
love me forever.

Just the right amount of heat and the right amount of heart, Martie

and for this time of stars and moons
laughter will be our clothing
and listening will be our food
for this is what I whisper
in my flowing lacy sweep of time
I whisper now is forever
sing to me forever
love me forever.

a love, beautifully portrayed.

I feel like a broken record here, but you are "untouchable" in your images Martie, this was simply beautiful.
