Victorian Thin Were I to build an arbor in Victorian thin Would it grant ivy vines in paths to touch Were I to place mums in portrait of begin Would you see this fire smoldering in Autumn clutch Were I to catch three rays of golden glow Would you braid them in morning delight Were I to wrap the night in a starry bow Would you find a dream horizontal in constellation sight Were I to lace a path in magnolia hall Would it find carpets of petal perfume Were I to plants seeds on whispers call Would you feel the winds beckoning our history to resume Were I to drink rain in diamond dance Would it quench a thirst in visions eye Were I to take miles in country glance Would you find travel in my yearnings ... knowing why Mark Christopher |

The arbor path is lined with the lusty blooms of fall. Each their own of scent, and each to heart does call. A keepsake. Love in starlight is blessed. TD Still, as then, I love this one. |

this, as others have rightly said, is simply beautiful, but this: "Were I to drink rain in diamond dance Would it quench a thirst in visions eye Were I to take miles in country glance Would you find travel in my yearnings ... knowing why" is exquisite |

When someone pens perfection as regularly as you do, it's hard to choose their best... but this is certainly in that upper echelon. *S* Such gentle queries should surely be answered affirmatively. *S* Beautiful work!! Reading it again today is a treat... one I indulged in several times. *S* |

Absolutely delightful, Mark. My very favourite line is: Were I to drink rain in diamond dance Please give your tiger a big hug and kiss from a South African owl. - Owl |
