in murky break of day we sit over coffee I reading poetry from a book in my heart delicately illustrated turning pages with memory fingers you hair curling morning close to your head counting my bank account tsk tsking into your cup smiling small indulging me on the table between us lies a dark stranger I have brought from my dreams clouded wrapped in a repeated refrain I keep him wrapped thus so I cannot see you watch me look at him touch him with soft memory fingers in murky break of day past the coffee cups past the checkbook and your smile after the sweet night walks away my dark stranger sings to me notes in counter part you have not followed your first heart you must leave the thread only at the last moment |

Dear Kate, I think one couldn't say it any better. This is powerful and rendered with mastery. There are gifts that deserve to be unwrapped slowly to be fully tasted. Secret and intense! Love, Margherita  |

Milady, there are times when a stranger from the darkness of our dreams becomes so familiar as to become a much anticipated and cherished friend. Your words move me, much. MoonShadow . |

Oh, I do so know what you mean, Lady Kate. A vivid imagination can be a girl's best friend ~ at times... And you, m'dear, have the talent to share your visions ever so provocatively. LA |

LadyKate~ The all of this wraps itself around my eyes, whispers itself into my ears, sheds it's beauty on speak-aloud lips, seeps into my heart, to cozy down in that forevering place~ Indelible is the ink you pour dear Lady~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
