VIOLETS


it was lust,
of that we were sure,
it could be love
but only for one night,
you were leaving tomorrow
and you would not return~~

I remember the way
your voice stroked my style
with such attitude,
'hello' from you
was seduction,
'hello' from me
was permission

you brought me violets,
they seemed so quaint
and oddly out of place
in a room filled
with silent screams
of primal eyefire

we did not speak
it wasn't necessary,
not when following
an inevitable course

in a moment of
hello and goodbye,
we mapped our history
you,
became the explorer
I,
your geography

~and the violets,
were perfect~

(smiles) Wow!!! Oh my gosh, this is excellent, it is as if the violet is the apex color of the flame, the kind of love that never maintains to eternity! (sigh) This is fabulous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sandpiper, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
