Eightynine Flickers Eightynine Flickers entwined with the scent of rose Winking merrily against vanilla sweetness so pure Steam singing love verses, written in mirrored prose Through heaven's soulmates cleansing, nights to endure Paths within petals of crimson kisses on your golden flesh Skirting on the softness of relaxed ripples in lovers dance Tender joining of poutings residing in kisses as two lips mesh Yesterday's dreams become reality in this time given chance Perfume of lilacs waltzing in time to Lonestar's "Amazed" Scented crimson aromas swirling with all that has been said Rememberances of walks from of love that have been blazed Resting this night in burning passions upon our citrus bed Take my hand this night in the hour of horizons seen as nine Rise up between the breaths of steam, leaving teared residue Forces of nature and heaven combined as we two lovers dine Know now for sure my butterfly that eternally I will love you Mark Bohannan [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 10-15-2000).] |

Mark, this is sensuous and man, for a minute there you had me worried because I misread "ripples" and thought you were going to be transferred to adult, and with your wonderfully sized print how did I do that? Maybe I need to clean my contacts ![]() This is very romantic and I'm sure she'll love it! Kathleen |

Candles, Vanilla, Lilacs and Poetry...a potent combination Mark. Beautifully woven with the touch of an artist and the heart of a romantic. Your imagery always takes the reader one step beyond....simply exquisite~ |

Paths within petals of crimson kisses on your golden flesh Skirting on the softness of relaxed ripples in lovers dance Tender joining of poutings residing in kisses as two lips mesh Yesterday's dreams become reality in this time given chance ===================== Take my hand this night in the hour of horizons seen as nine Rise up between the breaths of steam, leaving teared residue Forces of nature and heaven combined as we two lovers dine Know now for sure my butterfly that eternally I will love you ================= Mark this is enchanting and so romantic... you paint a beautiful vision of a night of sublime contentment ... a dance in the stars kissed with passion and love ... breath taking to say the least ... your just so very good at this...I could smell the vanilla, lilacs, roses, and oranges. later my sweet potporri poet-gator ![]() me |

What a beautiful morning read Mark. You've painted wonderful visuals here, and used such exquisite language. This line seems to stay with me ... "Rise up between the breaths of steam, leaving teared residue" ... excellent! ![]() Best wishes, /Kit |

Mark my friend, this is superb, utterly beautiful. I'm actually suffering from an awful cold at the moment, and reading this lifted me no end. Your work is always good, always superior, and this is astoundingly amazingly, excellant. You are the undisputed king of imagery, and this is filled with a quality that is uniquely your own. I hope your butterfly knows how beautiful this is. She certainly must know how you feel about her, because it clearly shows. Take care, Marsha ![]() ![]() (I know I'm not 100% but surely I should be able to spell. I apologise.) [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 10-14-2000).] |

Bill-thank you kind sir and doubly thanks for taking the time to read it twice. Kit-Thank you so much. I am always so happy to see your name on my post. You always make me smile. Martie-Do you think I will ever catch up to you? ![]() Marsha-Looks like I picked the right person for Pres.LOL.... your words are always so overwhelming and I do hope she sees the beauty in this and I am sure by now she has some idea of my feelings for her but that won't cause me lax up on letting her know. Thank you so much. |

Mark my friend, I had to come back to this before I go back to bed. I needed some beautiful images to colour my dreams, and where else to collect them than from the master painter himself. This really is an outstanding piece, so rich in colour and scent. Goodnight Marsha ![]() ![]() |
