Like a honey jar,
she glistens gold as morning.
She tastes of warming secrets.
She sticks to me in stamps.
She writes to me in letters.
Memory of her hands.
Did she press that flower down?
37 'cross her nail.

Did she write me words of warning
or bold intents of her love?
Hold the fold. I close my eyes.
Paper kiss. Her transferred voice.

Put the letter in the drawer
in its shade and shadow.
Looking out the window.
Waiting at the window.
Waiting at the window.

Waiting at the window.

She said burn ... together.

Mike darling boy this is outstanding writing, as always you excel at whatever you write. Fabulous writing and I love it love it love it utterly

Butterflies flutter here and there
Landing gently without care
Pretty wings in constant flight
Decorate air with sweet delight

But for faithful and for true
You know what you have to do
Ask the bee to stop and sip
The liquid nectar from your lip

Flowers bloom in scent divine
Call the butterflies all the time
But if you want constancy
You have to call the honeybee

Butterflies are sweet I know
But they don't let the honey flow
Honey is made by the faithfull bee
Come to my honey jar and you'll see

Marsha


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh
