A kiss from stars in the sky of night Healing powers sent hurling upon the wind Searching for the love hidden in fright Two hearts bonded as one would intend The colors of peace swirl with light Giving wings to a whirl of emotion Questing to reach what is just out of sight Unable to deny the power of heartfelt devotion Small kisses sent in the midnight lust Dreams of peace resting in breast of moon Smiles of anxieties dancing in lover's trust Stealing of breath within visions coming soon A touch of velvet breeze upon silken night Racing hearts of need and desire burn Releasing to capture and hold with might To the safety of mirrored souls we turn Shaded surroundings of sensuality’s girth Thickening wonders of sweet caressing lips Freshness of lust looming in the coming birth Quenching flows resting on thunder's clips Hearts, bodies and souls melding into one Submersing doubt into the tides of desire Free falling past the waves we’re spun Ablaze as we are baptized by the fire Torrents of ecstasy burn as embers begin to fall Bursts of new infernos sparked with each new thrust Hidden fears of passions now answering the call As love takes hold within words of unspoken trust Time stands still and eternity whispers sighs Wild rapids of white crash with a mighty roar The bolts of electricity strike with thunderous cries A peaceful breeze blows as we wash to the shore Eyes of trust now dwelling in the souls of two Whispered words not...as sighs say it all with care Knowing now my path as I have fallen for you This heart loves and gives a lifetime for you to share Sweet un-whispered words settle in my heart Assuring me I shall never again be alone Peace and comfort surround this brand new start Slipping to your arms... at last we are home |

From Mark B.---I want to thank Holly for all of her time and effort into this piece and I am sure you will enjoy it. Our styles compliment each other I believe and she was a true friend in helping to put this together. We share a love of poetry and as I stated before...out styles compliment each other. Holly---I personally thank you for all you are as a poet and true friend...well you know....hugs baby!!! From Holly---My sincere thanks to Mark, this was a pleasure to write, given the chance to write with such a talented writer and friend was an honor. My thanks to the readers and Poets of Passions for allowing me to explore in the beauty of poetry...you have been here to support me every step.

Holly and Mark, WOW!!! You two make a great team!!! You compliment each other very well . . . seamless writing. You both have great talent and you express yourselves perfectly. I hope to see more by you two!!! It is an awesome display of talent. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

ButterfliesDC~ and MarkB~ Oh ... what could be lovelier ! 'Hearts, bodies and souls melding into one Submersing doubt into the tides of desire Free falling past the waves we’re spun Ablaze as we are baptized by the fire 'Time stands still and eternity whispers sighs Wild rapids of white crash with a mighty roar The bolts of electricity strike with thunderous cries A peaceful breeze blows as we wash to the shore' A concerted effort of beauty. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Beautifully expressed Butterflies and Mark! A lovely collaboration that delves deeply into the tender and romantic sentiments of soul mates who have so fortunately found their true connection within each other. Excellent! Encore! Best wishes, /Kit |

Pure Poetic Perfection....that leaves you breathless. How much more can a person ask for.....You two compliment each other in ways that go straight through a readers heart....filling it with complete satisfaction. Soul mate found is a feeling almost undescribable but you two have done it perfectly. NOT that that is a surprise to any of us. Yes, write more together please....Pretty please...Take Care Jenn E |

Beautifully done piece. What a friendship you two must have to meld your minds and write such a piece. I know the joy of having found my soul mate but I also know that pain pain and sorrow from letting that one go. No, she is not dead but I let her go. Why? Don't ask. I am not even sure as to why anymore. Oh, wells. Great piece. I hope to see some more in the future. The White Wolf Would the bunny like this nice carrot? I don't bite. Much. :) |

Dee- I am with Holly on this. My wish is that you never pick a favorite that lasts longer than the next one. I will and I know Holly will always strive to be better with each and every post. Thank you so much. [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 08-29-2000).] |

Sven- EXACTLY.....and it takes REAL caring between two friends to be able to do so and I am honored to have that with her. IF the "friendship" was not real and if the "truth" were not spoken between us then this poem would never have come about. Holly asked me to also say thanks as she is real bust these days with REAL life matters of her own...so thank you from both of us.

this is "sigh song" magic....I had to read it slowly because I was sighing and didnt want to hyperventilate...needed to take a breath a few times...I loved too much to be able to single out any one verse..but you can feel the love, and trust (amongst all the lusting)*s ~~so very nice you two...definitely floating on passion's magic carpet ~smiles Maureen |
