Some words belong only to
the tongue.

Yet there is another language that is
spoken by the silent trace of our
caress.

There are two ways that we may
listen.

One is with ears that strain to capture
what is fleeting to the senses.

The other...is the rise of flesh to
meet the passing mood of our
pleasure.

Listen as words fall helpless from
my tongue.

And listen...closer still as my fingers
whisper slowly through the night.

Then...whisper something slowly
in return.

Absolutely exquisite Eric!
So softly sensual.
Very much enjoyed.

I found there lives within me,
    an invincible summer.

Dearest One...

Yes, there are two ways to listen and many more ways to say "thank you"...but, not nearly enough room in this limited reality! You ARE the whisper...the softly sensual voice that sings us to sleep at night and gently awakes us with the morning's light. You are the creator of love songs that see the essence of the Beloved in each of us...and, you share that beauty with a clarity that can only be found at the center of a heart that is pure and true and magical. You are wondrous, dear One. Simply thank you for the gift of you...

Love and Light...jc

This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light.

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes art
