 ~*~And Honey, I Love Your Easter Bonnet Too!~*~You tickle my heart, As you stand there before me Such a perfect, porcelain doll, Preening in your own image. I need more than a lifetime, To simply sit and stare at you. Then, as we walk together Down the scented spring Blown path of Easter Avenue, Our steps are so feathery. We, so close, leave a solitary shadow. Laughter and joy sprinkles The air in remnants of sunshine, As moonshine plays tag on your face, Brushing over youthful, rosy, Butterfly soft cheeks, Falling over long eyelashes, Dripping onto your sweet lips That ever so quietly kiss This night air as you speak. The fragile breeze laps At this cool calm and just Barely touches your silken hair. I weave my weathered hand Into your sifting velvet fingers, So soft in their reverence. You look up at me and melt my heart. Your supple skin gleams Underneath the shadows of The envious trees we walk beneath. Branches long to caress the moistness Of vitality and life you contain. I dance in a downpour of awe Showered upon that which I treasure and hold dear. One perfect little angel Made in his image stands before me, So proud of her new Easter bonnet. Nursery rhymes so sweetly sung, Slip between her pearly teeth Raining gently upon my parched Loving, and worshipping ears. I could bask in this glory For evermore, into infinity. My ears follow the musical purity Found in sweet, innocent voice. My eyes stroke the delicacy of her face, And my heart absorbs her tenderness. I tempt the elasticity of time, Stretching it beyond all limits, Before I am wrenched from your side. So within my forced stability, I sit here and dream of you, And give thanks at this Easter time For all the beautiful times you've given me. And Honey, I love your Easter bonnet too! *Grins* ~ We made our Easter bonnets today ~ Art: Bob Byerley "Jessica's Bonnet" ~www.world-wide-art.com~ ~*~ I write, therefore I am ~*~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 04-14-2001).] |

Kate, I can hardly wait for those pictures to come, and you got it - will scan them over to you - oh the age of technology. Irish Rose - thank you for reading this, and I bet you are going to look smashing in a bonnet yourself this weekend? |
