This is the edge.

My finger trails slow across
the crest of your
desires -

Tracing to a farther memory
the smooth ride of
your skin.

We breath this movement to
the holy stillness of
a moment.

And here...we linger.

This is our edge.

From this point on...we may only
surrender to the coming
fall.

Yes...
it's quiet,
this echoes...

this is.

You are a masterpoet of sacred moments of magical stillness .... this lingering is heaven.
I see the fall as falling into each other...
the edge stretches into untold heights...
Love, Margherita

Thanks, I needed your writing today.  It is soothingly romantic.  You again awaken that something which is forgotten in the midst of two children who won't behave and loads of laundy and the dusting that needs to be finished. And of course a soon-to-be ex-husband who I wish were light years away...

You did it again.  Take me away with your words Ericc.

This is incredibly beautiful; the sweetest of longing... the most delicious, gentle sensuality... and breathtaking surrender to love.

Leave it to you to bring it forth in such an amazing, soulful, spiritual, profoundly touching way... so that we can all truly feel it.

You are genuinely blessed with a wonderful gift... and we are blessed that you choose to share.

Thank you...

I love you,
Moca
