Tall the man as words now lingered
on ears that did not wish to hear.
Her love now lost, he remembered
from times now past, almost a year.

She came upon a rain filled night
into this place of tears and beer.
Her needs were seen, in smoke filled light
this stranger offered her his ear.

Her eyes spoke of her lack of trust
the wait for a cheap pick up line
Would he go for broke and then bust
dejected, rejected, and resigned.

Tall the man as words now lingered
His ring line worn into his hand
A weary well for not belingered
His leathered skin hard worked and tanned

She let his speech flow from the corners
Cob webbed rafters once great beams
And sipped a goblet's shade red borders
To find her truth within his dreams

And as they laughed was reconciled
Two for two, ships passed the night
Within his eyes her fears defiled
Within her heart the path of right

To him she sat upon a throne
where queens did reign a knightly force.
She filled his thoughts, just her alone
a soothing balm from pains divorce

As shoals were skirted and behind
they sailed into the night as two
A tall man gentle and refined
Emotions filled their sails anew

And as the jukebox softly played
of strangers in the night he smiled
For her he would not have betrayed
This tall man standing free....not wild.

Unclear what beckoned thought had sent her
Though cautiously she walked inside
To hear this sonnet on her enter
A tall man's linger she replied

My Dear Friend...
We write the long tall versions of most everything, and in the recipe is always the higher ground.
Thoroughly enjoyed creating and sharing with you here on the blue.
Thanks Mag.

Susan,  thanks,  was a pleasure to have you
along for the ride.

Kathy,  there are never enough words to express
the enjoyment of composing a piece of a story
with you.  It has become easier over the two
plus years that we have been writing together.  May our ink wells never run dry!!!
