Thoughts come and go after they are consumed. One crimson letter screams for more, and I cannot give. We are lost here barren lands and fire that burns for love and love only. I will never forget you, a crooked smile that would melt my flesh. I try so desperately to not think of you when I close my eyes.. Photographic memory and my twisted tongue forge their way through my soul's pages, I dream of you. I will never forgive myself for not knowing time travel. |

I'm not stalking you--I just can't sleep. "Thoughts come and go after they are consumed." This is the epiphany-- a moment can't be captured until it's already gone. The next four verses build, toward the climax (and mods, that's my interpretation and it ain't a sexual perspective) All things desired (I believe) is for the ultimate acheivment of union with divine. For example, the verse below could be mistaken for sexuality, and yet I see a foreshadow of something more-- "There are times when I thought this is wrong and I did it anyway."  Haven't we all? If not in metaphor then in deed." feel no guilt for my pleasurable ignorance, for once I felt bliss. If you ever understood that I am merely human nothing would keep you from" I love those two verses as faith proven by this author and? this ending: "catch and release." I shall try to not type a bouncing smilie. But megs? know that I wanted to.  Catch and Release? *shaking my head* Tonight? I like the Chartreusse jellies... (Redfish are out there, this I know.) zinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng |

this and Karen's comment about each of us searching for the perfect union, well, it's been my adopted belief now for quit some time...so, dearly beloved, let us draw forth a new horizon...one of which finds you within the midst of one hell of a union pretty darn good writing missy! |

I love the bit with the twisted tongue, and the last verse---excellent. You say it all there. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Photographic memory and my twisted tongue forge their way through my soul's pages, I dream of you. That just made my brain spasm. Such clever wording, i love it, for what it means. And i know that feeling, the agony. |
