i sat in the bookstore reading poetry when i felt someone staring at me maybe a tiny child or elderly lady i glanced up so i could see.. it was just a few days after my birthday when i saw you the very first time i tried to pretend you were not there as my heartbeats began to climb Standing tall in your blue jeans painted upon your long legs in the aura of your eyes.. blue gray yes..i was having a bad hair day i moved my hair to the side and smiled and said hello you said "there are not many redheads in this town of Amarillo"... I said "I had not noticed" you said you hadnt either until now i moved my hair again from over my brow we shared a cup of coffee steamy and hot i loved the way you played your lips upon the edge of the cup playing me like a harmonica i wished i had gussied up just when i dont wear any makeup was the day you would appear the day i could of cared less you were grinning ear to ear you asked me for my phone number but you didnt call not until one month later your voice echoed off my walls whispers galloped through my skin i again seen your image standing tall you invited me to your dude ranch down an old dirt road i drove you sat upon your horse near a lovely orchard grove i think im the only woman in texas not driving a truck i waved to you out the window your stallion began to buck i pulled my mazda to the side you sat tall in your saddle holding a rope of rawhide you watched every move i made i walked slowly over to you one hundred degrees in the shade always a windy day in Amarillo the wind in my hair played you descended your saddle and wrapped your arms around me only the second time i saw you the tumbleweeds in the wind blew i stood shaded under your hat i thought your kiss would never end my lipstick melted upon yours lips i felt more than a lady friend your horse trotted away your kiss enticed me to stay following your silver spurs to golden sheets of hay < !signature--> A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) [This message has been edited by Victoria (edited 01-03-2001).] |

enjoyed the read especially loved the lines, "i loved the way you played your lips upon the edge of the cup playing me like a harmonica" It's in your eyes a fire that's wild and glorious Unhibited, unfinished in everything I do Let the morning rise like our hearts desire" whipping boy |

You told this story so wonderfully that I didn't want it to end. I know the story didn't stop there but from where you left it I don't know that it could continue in here. This is one of your best writes so far I believe and I look forward to seeing you write another like this soon. |

Victoria-I liked the passion you provoked in this one. From one redhead to another, I think I may also have to venture out sometime and check out some spurs. |
