Petal Pusher Petals clustered in piles swept pinkly wind’s caprice transformed the portico they mated in corners turning twirling danced in pairs across the floor I, to curb their grace and frolic and botch and blot their perfect faces trailed their color down the isle of bridal white lace scented claim My hands were stuck finger to finger and petals dotted most my legs sitting in splayed elegant creation to perfect wedded minute’s yes was something to behold the color each bloom loosened now so tethered with back drop view across the city sharp buildings stood in hazed reflection Hold me darling for I hear calling across this day of roses dying this flower that binds has touched the fragile heart of two whose day is flying. It speaks to me of all that changes when fancy takes a walk for pleasure and somehow something hurts to see its lovely dying for touching tender [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 09-10-2000).] |

"Hold me darling for I hear calling across this day of roses dying this flower that binds has touched the fragile heart of two whose day is flying." Martie, the vision you've created with this piece is simply stunning, and I loved the wordplay...it works! ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Hold me darling for I hear calling across this day of roses dying this flower that binds has touched the fragile heart of two whose day is flying. Lovely. Another lovely lovely Martie..
