morning rains glittering
light bouncing diamond sparkles
off walls of my solitary dream curtains
fluttered to an unheard waltz paired to
honor such occasion the touching
a melody the rain softly taps
changing beats of my
anxious rhythm
she twirled
past my
high
lining
broken sky
her dewy beads rolled

slowly o'er window’s pane embracing
flushes of warmth mingling within a muffled
sigh as an excited drop leaps o’er an open cry
covering her need’s ledge with desire weds
stares where lovers sweet pledge the

notion of care silhouettes’
laugh while smiling
sings the rain
dripping over
everything my plan
dancing to greet her flames

tapping on lusty glass she rings to
musical ears while laced songs are
whispered with slipping cries of
other things... rain touches
face to glass together
is love at its
best

Martie, RJ helped out alot on this one you really ought to have a little mercy on me. You know I'm getting a wee bit old for such playfulness. Where do you gals come up with all the energy..?

That looks so cool!  I almost forgot to read it and just watched the words form a shape...a geometric shape, mind you, cuz I thought it was so cool!

Intruder,
Thanks... The art comes as the wind and just as easy. The words tell a story that's a little harder to bring. If your interested... Check our site. I have alot there... Grab some ideas. Thanks friend.

Lucky, dale

I am out in yearning space with this one - wants to make me crawl into bed with you - have for thirty eight years now.  Your ending is magnificent - "whispered with slipping cries of other things... rain touches face to glass together is love at its best" - OH, man, honey, I love you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I read into your poetry what might not be me - but then, it might be - and certainly could be.  Forgive me, my sweetheart, for my dreaming... XOXOXO
