She's a satisfying mess.
She has buttery breath.
The way she looks at the sun.

Black butterflies have a way
of landing on her shoulder.
She pulls a piece of sky like taffy
and leaves it on the door.
All that color.

She's a satisfying mess.
She has buttery breath.
The way she cries I come undone.

She sticks like salad and popcorn.
Lines herself inside my jaw.
Eyes are nothing but iris.
She leaves them by the door.
All that color.

She's a satisfying mess.
She has buttery breath.
The way she shivers in her fun.

The way she holds a clock.
Like a summer stone.
Supple fingers -- she lets it go.
It flies apart by the door.
All that color.

She's a satisfying mess.
She has buttery breath.
The way she simmers makes me burn.

And her hair all wrapped in bubbles.
Trails a train of vases.
Pressed flowers made of onyx.
They grow there by the door.
All that color.

She's a satisfying mess.
She has huttery breath.
Bread the way a sandwich can learn.

And it was last night. I
think it was last night. The
moon was high and she was low
and last night against the door.
All that color.

She's a satisfying mess.
She has buttery breath.
She smells like cinnamon fern.

YAY!!! Oh Mike, I'm so happy to see you again, we have all missed you and your wonderful words so so much! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSS) Fondness for someone can always be a mess indeed but rather one we always want to keep around in ecstasy! This is fabulous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Mike, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Never seen so many lines I wish I had written...

This one's my favorite of yours, Mike, without a doubt

Hey YOU!

Balladeer said it for me (not only did I read so many lines I wish I'd written, to my chagrin, I also found a reply I wish were mine...)

I've been away for awhile, but if this is an indication of your level of writing? Well, I hope we BOTH stick around. Love you my friend!

Glad you all enjoyed, and glad to be back. My life's gotten busier since I joined these forums two years (!!!) ago, so I'm not going to be able to reply to everyone individually anymore, but if you send me an e-mail (b_squirrel@hotmail.com) -- this means you, S'en, I'll make sure to reply. Here's to many years.

Mike
