I held my breath against the moment, quivering, somewhat motionless... anticipating, waiting, wondering if... The beat of a trembling heart pressing against ears that heard only a slight sigh beyond the thunderous roar of crimson waters flowing ravenously down into the depths. Deep, clear waters... running slow...carrying truth and honesty....ambition and inhibition.. a twinkle of an eye searching the smooth tender skin of one who would now become a cherished jewel... a friend... |

"a twinkle of an eye searching the smooth tender skin of one who would now become a cherished jewel... a friend... " That was a beautiful line. My heart skipped a beat on the last word. "No one now dies of fatal truths, there are to many antidotes to them."- Nietzche |

ah hah! Now I see why everyone seems to be flocking to your post! To me, it depicts that almost simultaneous longing and apprehension, that moment in between... wonderful writing Magnus. miscellanea |

Crimson water: channels for the streams of love, the pulse of life we carry in our veins that sometimes leaves a whisper much louder than Niagra falls.... How beautiful it is when it sparkle clearly in the light and leaves breath tremulous! I don't know if such winds can ever be truly caught, but they know every nook and cranny of one's soul. Karen |
