when we speak love we speak words of wood smoke words that drift across desert to forever never seen again we speak spin and drift float we speak the smell of your life familiar on my hands silken webs woven skyward when we speak love we speak of blood tea sipped slowly my sleep sounding voice stealing into your dreams telling you history in oak carved words when we speak love we speak of forever and more likely …never and always there is your mantra yes my heart I will… when you are ready |

Lady, I rarely respond . . . So I would very much like to add your poem, with your permission, to my Word File of poems by others. It would be in good company . . . What name, if you will, would you have on it? John |
