There are moments of indignation happening in my heart
as I wait here
holding (my breath) holding
holdingholdingholdingholding
I have whispered a moment
and it stepped into my soul
loveswept and irresistably warm.
We're writing another story
our realistic fairytale
dressed in a cute little moonlight number
with one of those slits that blink
allowing the silken skin of a forbidden moment
to creep into view.
We are all my images
strewn about on paper
passion blown and looping through the air
with a zest and taste for what we could become.
But...
shhh..
lest we squander a lifetime in just one moment
indulging too much
forgetting that manners are required
during the feast of us.

How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

When we become the most important thing in our lives, then love has lost and emptiness is knocking on our door.  

Very well written.  I not only liked the flow of the piece but the format was pleasing as well and of course it tempts the mind to actually engage in some meaningful activity.  Much enjoyed.

Quieted too soon,
Gone before I found you,
I lost you before I could whisper
I love...

When love becomes the magic, then the spell is always.

Thank you.

(sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I just love the way you write, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jenn, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

A little innoculation of flowers and candlelight is just what is needed to keep the blues away. Keep smiling Jen, but be your own happiness sustaining yourself and bringing it to others, lest you forget if another fails you. *Hugs*

I loved this piece and this phrase in particular.
Well done, indeed!

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
