An astral sleight of hand
Now you see it, now you don't

A time between the sun and stars

The lace covered window
shears the light of the moon
and places it 'round your neck my love
like diamonds sparkling 'neath our kiss

Translated ebbs and interpreted flows

Soft winds rise up singing of lovers
of whom the night knows

Let the night do it's will
...for the morning has no remorse

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

"Let the night do it's will
...for the morning has no remorse"

Two perfect lines in a perfect poem. Intriguing and searching are the wonderful thoughts throughout.

You're welcome, Ari, but I feel I am losing the battle.

When I'm feeling weakened of spirit, I find something to get mad about. Perks me right up.

Don't try this at home, you might break something valuable.

Oh hell man, I've been doing the same as you for many, many years. It is what has kept me going.
