deliberate contemplations you have escaped my touch and left me wanting and yet your image is there within, haunting like a tease you were, slightly taunting you first ran in, then you ran away laid loving words down, but didn't stay and all the while, you relished in your way sore am I, this weary mind bereft of soul like the breaker's water once it reaches shoal I'll not reach a finish, for you've moved the goal and yet I cannot stop because I discern if I devote my eyes to sleep you will slither in but not on soft feet and into your quagmire, I'll submerse deep you are a most unrelenting stranger, your kiss is wine and you leave me to stagger, most of the time my pursuit of you is the reach of the blind and yet I cannot stop without you, I become desolate, distraught when you are here, it's my breath that is caught and when briefly we meet, the words are then sought and found so I will not stop although you will escape only to come again my muse. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari, another triumph love, this is beautiful, really it is. I love this one, another inspired beauty. I'm wildly clapping and if you were close enough I'd be leading the cheers of encore, bravo well done. But since I'm not, just imagine it, and make loads of noise because I'm never quiet. Take care Mushy Marsha or is that Mistress Majestic Marsha no definitely Mushy, that's me today Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

A muse is torture sometimes and yet where would we be without it? I love it! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

Marsha, there have been those that cheer me on...but you are taking up the front as the leader of the squad, thank you so VERY much... Janet Marie, when I see your name, I know there will be true comment behind...you do not just read, you inspire...thank you my dear... Kathleen, it is always so, and I see that you agree... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Fellow K - I quite enjoyed this little journey... most sensual...most eloquent K The wind shifts like this: Like a human without illusions... This is how the wind shifts: Like a human, heavy and heavy, Who does not care. W.S |
