In form like the sun’s rise before fall she dreams of love’s fire licking at sky and dances her heart openly unafraid like a passionate gypsy on a hot summer’s night. “Come! Feel the burn of this energy!” she sings to no one and to everyone as her body in sync with involuntary action gyrates to the beat of mystical tunes. The air opens up like a fabled cave to the heat of desire and need of release until precious gold and sovereigns of old become useless tender to the sensitive. The fire, the fire, one last flickering fire, forever burns love as a symbol of wealth when earth meets sky in explosive delight somewhere over there beyond her foresight. She’s a lady, a woman, an angel, you/me, imbued with love’s feel and in motion to be a second string bow to the masculine soul like sun is to sky when earth turns to fire! Helen |

Oh boy, Helen, this is a good'n for sure. You nailed every emotion one could feel as... quote: The anticipation within our bodies when we have been smitten you have described perfectly. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Thanks, Jo and James - and, Jo, I'm trying to only remember the good things but to keep the bad close by in case I feel tempted to make the same mistakes again. |
