THE ANTI-RESISTANCE MOVEMENT 20 October 2011 The gauze barriers that I know I must put up you don’t break down you just paint them gone in charm-armfuls of Crimson Glories and I breathe their billet doux perfume and stroke the words of every petal drowning in your lose-me eyes as they are lost in mine your hands tiptoe-cupping my upturned face and you mix my metaphors in soft luscious whirls of creamy dessert and I melt in moments within the hunger of our lost-in-our-own-world kiss which fuses us in our forever-sizzle.

Love the love language in your poetry. "and you mix my metaphors in soft luscious whirls of creamy dessert and I melt in moments within the hunger of our lost-in-our-own-world kiss" It is the language, and its ability to stir emotion, that is so right in words like those quoted, that keeps me focused on the art. |

Thank you, Ford. I am very honoured at what you say and coming from a poet of your stature, makes it mean even more to me. Owl |

Absolutely delightful, dear Owl. It's good to know that there is room for enchantment in your days, while you have to cope with less pleasant challenges. Love, Margherita |

Thank you, Margherita. The gauze barriers that I put up are the hard part, though. Owl |
