Could you have known, in that silly intuitive way,
strolling the wheat,   grasping a stalk as you gently
caressed it....Smiling, as only you could....with a
raised brow haunting me...ever daunting, flaunting
against the billow of sails within a heart’s breeze.
Could you?

You know, that each breath lingers softly upon
the moistness of my lips, struggling against the
words that lie motionless, silent....anesthetized
to the pain of a shadow’s shrink upon the moor
of a garden....

And, the boil of a winter’s night shall come upon
the flames that tint your eyes, stroke your hair
and bring to me the scent that so entrances me....
enchants me as I lie in wait of a whisper as
a rogue tear mingles and I know that you knew.

Both of you two precious ladies are so
kink to me...  I can only try to give
back what has been given...though I surely
will fail.

Thank you!  A book of love poems?  How many?
perhaps I should........

And....Nancy,  those remarks apply to you as
well.......Nappy Hew Jear!

I just had to pull out those lines, BJ -- can I just say that this is stunning and so melodic!  You just keep getting better and better, and I do believe there will be a price tag on your work someday.  It's so rich.  Happy 2006! ....jo
