I never knew what it meant
to feel the gentle kiss
of a sacred sunrise
until you lifted my chin
to the morning sun,
touched within the embrace
of a lover’s promise.

The skies were brilliant, bursting
with sheer unbridled ethereal joy
as the sweetest songbirds echoed
love in the winds above the foothills.

I never knew what it felt like
to drown from cursed love’s damnation
until you let go of my hand
and walked away,
into the smoldering sunset.

Well dang! Dashed again, I hate it when that happens. Now do I get that magic carpet ride? I've given up on the camel.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

LOL, Larry, you are such a charmer, yanno? So you remember that magic carpet ride thing? And the camel, well...I parked that beast permanently, and the bikini is in mothballs. LOL.
Shaking my head, wishing I had the nerve to wear such a bikini AND ride that ornery camel off into the desert sunset, dragging some poor nomad alongside that might be  willing to ride a magic carpet. LOL
