And Who am I |

And Who am I Read another male Upon pages alone Read his romance His testosterone Let your estrogen succumb Give way before His passionate phrases Become what often you become But if you’d rather Meet on common ground To my music Hear my sound Share with my your ears And what they hear Melodies in your soul Strung so clear Join with me on beaches Or on mountain trails Where nature’s forces Match your heart’s entrails Where we might learn What commitment entails In truth spilled out upon the sand Wrenching though it tears our hearts asunder You might find out that we’re no blunder I find silken woman of your soul Lacy soft with heart under control Able to leap tall buildings with a word Far more desirable and not absurd Are you the one to match my soul’s desire Or will I die before such dreams expire The first duty of love is to listen. ~ Paul Tillich ~ [This message has been edited by Wilfred Yeats (edited 03-04-2001).] |

Bill "I find silken woman of your soul Lacy soft with heart under control Able to leap tall buildings with a word Far more desirable and not absurd" To find, and love the beauty that is within another, is a wonderful feeling...you have expressed it well. |

Wilfred - A'hhh, such that you write about, music, sharing, giving. I like it very much, and well done. But you will find this that you seek, before they plant you. Someone that writes like this, it will happen. BC |

Martie - Sven - Bill - I guess I was just 'in a mood' today - sometimes reading others here whose writing confirms unmet expectatations - reminds me of how I've felt in the past - so - as you can see - one way or the other - all I write is fantasy - based on some other reality Thank you |

"Are you the one to match my soul’s desire Or will I die before such dreams expire" I like this one very much... it could be titled "And Who Are We" - is this fantasy or reality? *S* I hope you find a reality that exceeds all fantasies and dream together... well done! |

Sunshine - to retain the anonimity of friends in the face of would be gossips - sometimes requires words of fantasy ~S~ - thank you Suthern- No one sharres your wishes with greater fervor than I - ~S~ thank you |
