(running to and dashing fro, the games begin and here we go. Tag, you're it! The chase begins, your turn to start has come again) Midnight whispers taunt and tease promising to play and please a hand's caress upon smooth skin a plea to be admitted in just once more, to say goodbye, always said ---- always a lie. forever bound by love, they know they'll say goodbye, but never go (three steps forward, four steps back cast the line, reel in the slack one fish, two fish, I wish, you wish we could end this game of go fish) digits dance down silken thigh, against an ear, a breath of sigh, fingers first and then the thumbs print the throat as she succumbs to her need and his desire, eyes ablaze and flesh a'fire, rough n'tumble games they play to keep emotions locked away (two steps up, dodge to the side, the pawns will take it all in stride. castle over, guard the crown, the queen has come, he takes her down) he pulls her tight against his chest, his snoring signals peaceful rest. Release of fear in sleep he finds and only then can speak his mind, his murmured love words pierce the dark. On flesh and soul they've left their mark. Held in his arms, she prays that he will beat, this time, the urge to flee (I'll count 10, you run and hide, When you give chase, I'll step aside, Hide & Seek, then Keep-away What lonely things, these games we play) |

You even managed to create the rhythm of going back and forth, to qnd fro, with the structure of your poem. Oh, the games that lovers can play! ~ and you did a fine job or writing about them.  EA |

what a clever write this is... I like it very much and I really liked this... "just once more, to say goodbye, always said ---- always a lie. forever bound by love, they know they'll say goodbye, but never go"  |

Hi Sheli, I thought this was so well done, I enjoyed every line, it was like a song, I was near tapping my feet. The mind is a wonderful thing to bring out such splendor and I thank you for sharing it today, there is true talent in your pen my friend. Rick |
