Scarf of You White sheer tulle with golden sighs Swirling aromas of your every thought Scented symphony's as it was perfumed My heart lives in peace having found... what it has for so long sought Petals bursting forth in metallic gold Leaves kissing such in hues of brown Knowing what stories this scarf has told Brings a smile from what was once... a broken hearted frown Shimmering eyes of clear faceted glass Winking gleefully in memories of afterglow Sighs and moans in pastel butterfly lips pass Residing their fate to the destiny of which... we both have come to know Heavily stitched realms of this fashion wear Tender hugs in promises of this life now met Salted tears swept in currents of loving care Poured forth thrice in the breathless quivers... of lover's onslaught of passion's sweat Through caressing stars and luna's soft hugs Whispers of calming dreams upon us shall creep Galaxies dancing across the heart in little tugs Heaven sent graces in orchestrated melodies... turbulent crescendo taking love deep Morning greeted to the sighs of white musk Feathering down in waltzes of past eve's crest Time forever dawning with the approaching dusk Open hearts closed in acceptance of lover's peace... eternally in our conquered quest Mark Bohannan [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 09-14-2000).] |

The master of Imagery.....This is so very beautiful Mark. The flow and the feel of this are as light as the wind. Sometimes holding something of the ones we love brings them closer if only in our heart...for that is really the only place that matters~ Exquisite work! |

Mark, my friend...after squinting into these beautiful colors that are hard to read (it's okay really) I have found a beautifully worded heart render from my favorite cowboy...gave me a sigh, it did!! |

"Salted tears swept in currents of loving care Poured forth thrice in the breathless quivers... of lover's onslaught of passion's sweat" "Feathering down in waltzes of past eve's crest" Brilliantly penned my friend! This is so full of vivid imagery ... it leads the mind into a virtual playground of thoughts and visions. Excellent writing Mark, your command of flow and language is a treasure to this reader! Best wishes, /Kit |

Mark how did I miss this, because if I didn't I'd have left a little message. Well I'd have left a big message, crammed with praise, which still wouldn't describe how magical this is. Even if I started with Amazing and ended with Zenith, as in this is the zenith of perfection. I still couldn't say more than wow. Just in case you didn't get the message I LOVE THIS  Marsha |
