She sat there on the sofa, soft hair shining in the light An angel of the evening as I stared with sheer delight. The music on the stereo set mood romantically And I was sure that she could sense love pouring out of me. She looked at me with such a glance that I felt I was sure It was an open invitation, although she looked demure. The candlelight shone in her eyes..lips smiled invitingly There was no doubt her love within was calling out to me. I got up from my chair. I needed to be by her side. The coffee table in the way I gently shoved aside. I stood there, looking down at her, then reached out for her hand As she looked up and gave a smile that said, "I understand" She slowly rose, her eyes on mine, the smile was still in place My knees felt they could buckle from the beauty of her face. Then, as we stood there, smiling, while worlds disappeared from view I put her hand up to my lips and whispered, "I love you." I bent my face down to her lips and kissed her tenderly And felt her arms surround my neck and hold me willingly. The kiss grew stronger,,,stronger still. He body pressed to mine And I knew I would love this girl until the end of time. Then someone shut the music off and turned the lights up bright As people put their jackets on and gaily said goodnight. My sofa girl then smiled at me and I smiled back, in kind While feeling very fortunate she hadn't read my mind...... |

How soft and warm! I was expecting a slow dance but I like your description better. What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

She read your mind quite clearly, 'Deer She knew exactly what it means, When you slurp your eyebrows with your tongue, It is only in your dreams. For she would have a real good time, On the sofa in your home. Waiting for you to open the box, And throw your Lassie a dog bone. BTW - Another sweet poem from the Balladeer. It appears you have ingratiated yourself with all these wonderful ladies. It makes me think of Ms. Cash's song, "Seven Year Ache", as in, "When ya gonna give us some room?" lol [This message has been edited by LngJhnAg (edited 12-05-2000).] |

Oh Mr Deer I am so pleased that you have given up those blow up dolls for a sofa doll. Of course if she read your mind you would most likely be behind bars!!! |

I guess I need to run out a buy a sofa now that I know of the good times that can be had on one. WOW...sir Balladeer, nothing like making us wish we were in your shoes now is there? This was a tremendously sensual poem and so full of those moments when time seems to either stand still for a few brief moments or it just sort of escapes us and we are left feeling like we were in a daze of sorts. You couldn't have been in too much of a daze though to recount it such as this so it must come from your accumulated experience with the matters of the heart and your stability in being able to remain in control under such pressure to just let go. Wonderful read my friend. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Oh, Balladeer... this is beautiful, almost lyrical... of course, I also agree with Denise. ~ Beth (not back quite yet, but stopping by) If we never meet again in our lives, I should feel somehow that the whole adventure of existence was justified by my having met you. |
