I welcome thee softly come pleasant come in haste arrive tonight quarter of eight and I will welcome thee into my humble home my abode where I abide astride a dreamer’s ride and where heaven is waiting for thee O come come soon ‘neath light of moon under winter’s sky so I won’t cry but rather in the firelight in the hue of gold chase the cold and play some bold come to me seek my soul safely shoal all my fears dry my tears with silk so sheer it takes your breath away see me now as I welcome you for I have sought you until you were found right….here…. if I were to ask no unpleasant task but with emerald eyes silently cry your name would you hear me and feel the desire the growing fire on pillows pyre and never tire of the welcome that I give thee would thee come feel safe deem content soon after caress spent and in the solitude of two become one would you know the welcome of you in my heart would you welcome the know of you in my heart as I have welcomed thee within? Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Oh yeah the address....geez I just got to see if it's really going to be like you say I just can't help myself...he he |

Sunshine, Well the welcome mat is out and quite a mat it is. A heart full of promises and a soul full of care. I welcome you to Shangri-La. *L* |

Karilea I pray my dear your water supply - does not run dry for I greatly fear if you came near I'd need showers within your bowers frequent and often each time I softened (I could probably come up with more couplets but you get the general idea) - whew - talk about sensuous invitations - wow - and double wow! |

Karilea, any man who would say no to this would be certifiably insane!!! I have little doubt that when he showed up he would indeed find Heaven waiting.... You are GOOD!!!!!!!!! |

Kari, this is outstanding, it really is. They're all be flocking to your door love, you'll have to beat them off with a stick. I really love this one too. (Hey Kari, I can do C A, it's just it's called accentuating the positive. Besides there's nothing to criticise ever love ) Take care Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marsha, I for one have never doubted your many abilities...NEVER...and there is no need for a stick, just a sleeping draught to allow the imagination a rest... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
