-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not I who flutters your lids, races the beat of a yearning heart, speaks soft whispers till the break of dawn. It is not I who shivers in wait, listening for the echo of a lingering sigh. No, it is not I. Nor is it I who climbs the vine into clouds of waiting tears, reaching for the searing rays of a sun filled with comet’s tails. No, it is not I, nor shall it ever be for it is we....we both who madly desire the shadow that mingles, the trace that tingles and the kiss that lasts until a breath caresses closed lids....long into the still of of a sweltering night. |

we both who madly desire the shadow that mingles, the trace that tingles and the kiss that lasts until a breath caresses closed lids....long into the still of of a sweltering night. And that is when it's really worth having... when it is both. *S* This is so very beautiful, my friend! *S* |

Barry...you haven't lost the so very Barry touch. Why with a twirl and a giggle you can change an I to a we, just like that...and a wink. Good to see you! |

Aw, dear Magnus, this is beautiful and I have missed reading your poetry, too. I should go back into the archives and read, because there is heartspeak and wisdom in what you write. I am always touched in the reading. Hope you are staying warm as these cold November days descend. ~Karen |

Sure glad I looked up this poem, Magnus! You put a flutter into this poet's heart just by the perfect rhythm and rhyme, let alone being swept away with the romance of it all! Wow! Loved the turn around in the last stanza-no, it is the two! Great job and a keeper! miscellanea |
