Has ever a woman, spoken to you through song and sound midnight lingerings just at the tip of finger play Has one ever brought you in through the out door and back again just to fall safely within an embrace tender and true Has one ever visioned everything inside of you so pure of heart like driven snow on a wintry eve Soft slow fall of hand to mound of freshly fallen flurry of passion In the dark of night unbridled I know you as I know myself a glance in the mirror sideways I see you there smiling, my smile but your own Within every single minute of each passing hour You are with me for you are a part of me from birth, I do believe Almost as if the bud which appears blooming in my garden was planted by your own hands tilled with fresh soil watered by my eyes fueled by the Sun itself and two hearts beating simultaneously I study this "common" flower intricate in design a spectrum of every color, sight and sound imaginable I hold in my hand one rose delicate as the snow beauty unforetold Close to my own heart to protect me from the evils of my own garden And I smile inhale it's scent deep and longing Eyes closed, dreaming with hands clasped to chest And when they open, I am enlightened the hands which hold such rose unmarred by any thorn pristine The only remnant left from this fleeting dreamstate are velvet petals falling from one heart to another in slow motion freeze frame of time eternal |

Sue... If you got any better at this... These words are indeed some of the softest, and sweetest and most sensual words I have yet to view on this site... Thank you for sharing them with us. We are all equal but we’re individually different and able to reach the impossible if we try. [This message has been edited by Ringo (08-28-2003 07:07 PM).] |

I am singing Prince now along with other stuff going through my mind...it's good to feel this sort of emotion..love it as usual...there isn't anything that I don't love from you..  If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |
