Heart of broken glass Saltless tears of sorrow Is the equation for lust, Love plus desire? My eyes swell with each passing moment When I see your shadow slowly fade away Restless and weary are my heart and soul When your perfume no longer lingers Your eyes give me strength, Your passion gives me hope Your body, your hair, your essence, Gives me the shakes A lifetime it takes for the Moon to circle thrice Yet, still I watch and wait Oh, so impatiently Whispered words like honey sweeten my soul I long to caress you, To hold you, to kiss your pouting lips How I wish you were near When you are so far How I wish you were close When you’re even one heartbeat away I’ll dream of you pressed gently to my side I’ll lust for you Until the moon circles thrice My heart is broken glass My saltless tears full of sorrow TkB Copyright © 2001 All Rights Reserved Dance with me under the moon. Touch my pale skin. Devour me. Love me. [This message has been edited by Embers_Before_God (edited 04-17-2001).] |

"Restless and weary are my heart and soul When your perfume no longer lingers" "How I wish you were close When you’re even one heartbeat away" Very nicely penned Embers ... longing, desire, yet with a subtle tenderness woven throughout, I very much enjoyed this piece!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Other than the evident yearning, soon fulfilled is the fun of keeping time with the moon; for not so long ago mankind used the sun, moon and heavenly bodies to do exactly that. I now have a picture of my small wrist sporting a "moon watch." Oh, where does the mind go..? "I am not now that which I have been." |
