Dewy beads glistened
on her once fevered brow,
remnants of the fires
that raged up ‘til now.

A lustful dream in passion’s light
born of their minds in waning night.
Stirring embers of hot coals well.
One song, twice sung...in mem’ries dwell.

By light of moon, in sweet repose,
she lingered in his arms.
Soaking in his manliness,
absorbing all his charms.

By glow of eyes in passion’s gleam
the want to bathe and share one’s dream.
To stand beneath cool roaring falls
and hear soft shrill of lone loon’s calls.

A wisp of curl lay ‘cross his face
as he held her to his chest.
The rhythmic cadence of her breath
gave way to soothing rest.

To feel, to trace, to savor the flight.
On fingers graze once ever slight.
Where in she bides in warming glow
till ‘gain but one, one song they know.

The ache of longing, sated now,
will rise once more with dawn.
When stirring passions join as one
two souls, two hearts–one song.

Martie---Well, thank you kindly! I was a bit
        intimidated to work with one of the
        ultimate male romance writers at PIP
        ---but I'm glad I took the plunge!

RoseWhite---that was a very sweet and gracious thing
          for you to say! I have tears in the
          corners of my eyes. (I'm such a mush pot!)

How very pleased am I to see that you two got together and how beautifully you compliment each other.  Your words flowed like a tranquil stream and I enjoyed this so very much.

Take care.....Sue

his "Sticky Buns" (see his poem)caper! hehe

Linda and Barry, Yikes, I almost missed this and that would have been sad for me.

This is the mingling of two romantic and beautiful souls.

I love it to pieces.  Hugs, Marti

Every now and then take a good look at something not made

Barry is busy right now, so I'm holding down the fort! I think he'll be as pleased as I am, that our poem is getting such a warm response.---I must admit, I had a bit of a warm response myself--while getting into the writing of my part---and most definitely when I read Barry's words!

BC--It's great to hear from you again!
    Considering the fact that  you yourself
    are an incredible writer of romance, your comments were very special!

Thank you on behalf of Barry and myself.

P.S. He's been very busy writing and posting and doing an incredible "dooo-et" with the Enchantress, he's wanting me to keep up with the replies.

Take Care!
