A Yearning Thing She is so sure of love for her body is ripe with knowing all the intricacy of playing this part that unfolds. Romance you are a yearning thing in dreams with dancing and in grace your glance becomes her with a smile. You sway with her she splendid in fabric that whispers and feels the rhythm of mood through your fingers. She knows from your sweet dictionary when to step or turn and dip into that place where stars hang upside down on patios overlooking water. The moon is always there for it is the voyeur who watches shadows embrace and carves silhouettes upon the portico. You are always bright and warm and instead of talk you whisper and the meaning catches the fabric of moments with a breeze across her ear. The music shimmies in folds from water cascading while stars dislocate and blaze on an eyelid soft against the velvet sheet of evening. Ah Romance she dreams you softly each night in virgin bed and waits with withering light to see again your love step into her twilight. |

Martie~ So sensual. 'when to step or turn and dip into that place where stars hang upside down on patios overlooking water.' I was going to pick out a favorite line ... but then I'd just have to copy the entire poem. Beautiful muse dancing here. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Stunning work, Martie. "The music shimmies in folds from water cascading while stars dislocate and blaze on an eyelid soft against the velvet sheet of evening." This is absolutely exquisite. You've left me breathless. *Krista Knutson* I do this so this world will know that it will not change me....-GB |

Someone else may have invented the English language but you have perfected it. Brilliant! |

~Martie How do you do it woman? You have painted such a wonderful "picture" here. I almost felt like I was there with them. Beautiful! Amy P.S. You are VERY talented. I sit in awe. ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |
