The riveting of armor melts away
To soften calloused hands, and hardened hearts of clay
Not too sure of always or never, not too clear yet bound together
As the approach became the last unlatching key
Another level is unclothed, another kiss instinctively
And we become the all-consuming fire
The captor and the prisoner of all desire
How well we have become, exchanged in language of full sum
As difficult as any climb, our own revival stopping time
Holding out, and holding on…between the sheets of pages gone
For as you push and pull away, this much is savored in each sway
The touch inside that calls your name, to give and get of all the same
And we become this intimate, a level down and deeper fit
Again to quiver in such thirst, my body hears and speaks you first
Inaudible the trade perhaps, of lust and linger, finger snaps
A willingness in high regard, to curve the seas of soft and hard
And hold you close inside myself, of every dream unmeasured wealth
While this conviction given all, our purest selves in turn free fall

now if only I could write like that! But then, I can't rhyme two words on the same page, leastwise as often as you do...

Enjoyed this much, my friend.

Kathleen, I have no idea how many times I've told
you before, but I simply  love  the  way  you  write!!!! I don't know about the
correct meter, but you must do it perfectly, my friend.
I do know that your rhyme is absolutley marvelous.
I just wish that I could write half as good as you do.  
Hugs to you,
Ethel
