Resting there amongst the memories,
          upon a wooden hearth,
above a once
        raging fire...
  as embers slowly washed into
morning’s rise.

Folded,
        with just the edge of penned
words visible,
       a mystery waiting
    to awaken...to be held
     within the heart
of one,
         given by
               one other.

He knew...
She’d ever lightly grasp this morsel
           within two manicured nails, touching it
to a flushed cheek...the slightest of
a smile
          giving away her glee..

She would...
Laugh heartily in nervous reaction, subsiding
     to the slightest of a giggle before...
           She turned away....walking slowly, ever
softly...toward dreams....as he....

Dipped again, once again, a pen...one
              showing great wear....into the well of
darkened conjure....
         knowing this moment
was slipping into the night...as
                 the hour was nigh...

Stirring the mind
              in penned thought...
in poetic song as he...

Sang ever softly, upon a moon rise,
        writing,
            romancing the night to day...

Would the slipper fit a
                    chosen foot
         balanced delicately
                    upon smooth flesh?
    He smiled....
As a heel smoothly slipped
        and once more...
                  dreams carried
them both away...

Happy Thanksgiving, Magnus!

  Siyo Magnus shared moments of caring,of laughter,of trials give the best of writing to share with other hearts.It is these that give to the rest visions and dreams to follow! Sigi my friend!

a good commitee can decimate communication.

Such a beautiful Cinderella-of-a-write~

'Would the slipper fit a
                    chosen foot
         balanced delicately
                    upon smooth flesh?
    He smiled....
As a heel smoothly slipped
        and once more...
