"Moonlight's Spill" We leave the clamor of the street long shadows laced in ivory light with leaves aswirl beneath our feet to stroll the pathways of the night Our talk is light in evening's chill as eyes betray unspoken thought but soon in glow of moonlight's spill in your embracing I am caught And in this moment's tender trance your lips brush, soft, upon my own then sudden grasp of bold advance an urgency I've never known And though I fight to free away, deny the whirling of my heart in ecstasy of love's delay to passion's pulsing we depart (to be continued...) (I hope!) Rainydays  |

SEA, sorry about the frustration...believe me, I KNOW it! Tried writing more but just too distracted this morning. Will get there though! Thanks for reading! Cathy, who wants to fight it?? (teasing) If I can only FIND it!! Thanks for reading and take care. Ron, thank you. The real story... I'll have to work on that one. Thanks for reading. I'll share more as I find it...thanks for your patience! Sunshine, exactly. Thanks for reading and understanding. As Carson McCullers said, "the heart is a lonely hunter." This one is a work in progress, to be sure. Take care ~ Rainydays |

Don't look into my eyes as you will surely see Residing within are the secret passions of you Please don't use my eyes to reach the depths of me Or you will find a love that can only be true ================================ To see the whole thing you inspired...please go here. Thank you for your verse that inspired me for this one. /pip/Forum42/HTML/002410.html [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 11-04-2000).] |

Mark, thank you for your note this morning. I have just read your beautiful poem and am still smiling ~ even through the fever. Your skill is to be admired. Kethry, thank you so much for reading and for your nice comment. I will make it a point to try to have another installment for you this weekend, though often I am such a moody writer and go off on odd tangents. (something I'll bet we ALL do) Sometimes what I am immersed within, emotionally, is too close to write about just at that moment, and comes about at a later time. Do you find that to be true of your writing? Elizabeth, I thank you sincerely. Your words are kind and very much appreciated this morning. I am happy that you enjoyed reading and will be sure to share more as I "find" it. (or as it finds me) Janet Marie, thank you. I'm glad to know that you've enjoyed reading, and I appreciate you letting me know what you think. Rainydays |

Our talk is light in evening's chill as eyes betray unspoken thought How true this statement is. Very pretty telling of an exciting beginning. |

This reminds me of my old girlfriend Billy Jean...we lived close together so we each walked halfway thru the moonlit night to meet each other and the feelings are lonely, than exciting, than romantic...James |
