How does it feel?
Is it a laugh or
a squeal
of delight?

An incredible rush
a sacred hush
a prayer for
a dream gone by?

Does it feel
like snow in
December’s glow
or the hot summer
streets of July?

Is it a stare or
a blink
a flirtatious wink –
a kiss with
open eyes?

How do you know?
Do stars start
to flow
and rain down
from above ?

How does it feel
to know
it is real
How do you know
you are loved?

By the warmth
of a touch
a stroke of
good luck
or the tears
of joy in your eyes?

Is it a hug
from a child
or flowers grown
wild
or a grandmother’s
comforting sigh?

These questions asked
a non-stop task
for I’ve only found
love is a lie

...and her crown was formed by the ice in her eyes

Keep looking...
you'll know...

actually, quit looking,
and it just happens...

then you can't believe it
and the pinching begins...

(big huggssssssss) Oh Icequeen, I too follow Sunshine's advice; always go on and live life and let love pinch you for love is inevitable and inevitable is love! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

They're actually all of the things
you have mentioned in this
exquisitely penned piece.
And, when you least expect it...
love will tap you on the shoulder!
Excellent write!
~Hugs~
