I stepped outside and Time slowed to a Hazy heat wave Slow too hot to move Kind of crawl The crystal blue sky winked Down at my slightly Upturned face Innocence recaptured in a moment… And from above the sun Saw a cherub smiling slightly With the barest glint of Smokey green slivered eyes Winking back in that Knowing sort of way Sweetly soft cradling sunlight Heat rained down Saturating white cotton t-shirt And faded denim Raising goose-bumps on Milky-white skin And I shivered As sweetly felt Heard spoken Lightly touched thoughts Of you, my special secret love Drift floated Languidly by on scents Of a gingerlily and coconut Afternoon What a lovely day it turned out to be [This message has been edited by Satiate (edited 04-20-2000).] |

Satiate, this one just made me smile wide...whoa. You just keep getting better, girl, and it's aptly reflected in your writing. Almost gave me goosebumps seeing the images you portrayed. Alicat |

Indeed, what wonderful images come to life here. Pondering crystal blue sky, the rest is so very clear. Sounds like you had a heck of a day there... Michael |

Temptress, good to see you girl! Thank you.Aw, Danny...yer a sweetie.  Ali, thanks, m'friend! Michael, 'twas a wonderful day...it's amazing what thoughts of a loved one can do. May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

Well now, aside from a wonderful day... I LOVE the way you presented this. The word usage fairly struck hold and wouldn'a let go! GREAT twist in your normal style m'lady! |
