Still days lead days, all long gone by when first you searched into my eyes looked deep and fell into my soul and passed from young onto the old still I mesmerize you you say ‘tis so, my eyes still glow of love and life and laughter fine and you say how can it be so that rare am I as fine aged wine still I inebriate you you attempt to quietly understand this aging woman in your embrace calmly gaze with fond desire at the feathered lines about my face still I puzzle you emotions rampant run within most thin the essence of my skin and deep the well of love to find when you whisper “ come, be mine” still I mystify you know that forever there will be a “still” as wildflowers come to springtime’s hill as passion bends thus to loving will there shall always be the “still” in the still of the night in the silent of embrace in the still of always in the tranquil of grace there shall be this still for you the one that mesmerizes and inebriates the puzzle of the mystery there shall always be the still of me long until tomorrow Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

This one to my treasure box for sure - absolutely top drawer - As I've said on other rare occasions - "I wish I'd written this" and so I say it again: this is outstanding! |
