Are you,  are you there...the lonesome whisper
says.  straining valiantly, gallantly to assert
itself,  to stand stalwart upon a bloodied mound
where lives were lost...as warriors fought in
honor of one,  of one so beautiful that a heart
halts and sighs upon the moment of sight,  the
moment of a pleasurable dance of a delicate
perfume...circling,  teasing,  whispering as only
a whisper might or may.

Yes,  I remember that moment,  a tender and
teasing moment of splendor and passion.   A
moment when a subtle knock brought to an ear a
single gasp...a slight but perceptable shudder
as a tear wells and falls silently into a rain's
coffer...a watering place where eyes close and
the bubbles softly escape,  as emeralds and
pearls of air rise to the earthen air above...

Yes, how could I ever...when the thought of you,
of your whisper teasing my ear  makes me cry and
sit for hours, looking,  hoping to some day see
the flow of your locks dancing with the tail of
a steed...as lightly you ride...

Inspired...

nice to read...really liked this line:
"of one so beautiful that a heart
halts and sighs upon the moment of sight,"

A fan.
