Beyond the Windows of My Night Outside my window the night sky filling up with stars, the moon disappearing on this eve, drifting, I hear the loneliness echoing in the expanse of the night. I feel no comfort from the covering of the dark. To be together even when apart is my desire. To hear the music of your voice is my want. To feel your every movement is my passion. To see your eyes resting upon mine is my delight. To feel your gaze through your touch is my fire. You have entered my heart through these eyes, haunting me, catching me offguard, many nights, in pillowed hold, unaware of the hidden longings within. You have woven my thoughts with yours, over and under, entwining, embracing every fiber of me, above and beyond, never to sleep without the want of you. As the stillness of the night settles in I am caught up in the pleasure of these thoughts. Of moments... lying there, in the warmth of your arms, my eyes watching as you sleep, closing mine to dream...there... beyond the windows of my night. ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

Wynter....It is so difficult to capture the intimate. That's why I stick to ships. Very well done. Bob |

I'm not Bob, but you have done so superbly, and totally tastefully. Intimate, but behind the appropriate folds of a curtain that we as observers will not in any way violate the intimacy. This is a very tender, delicate write and a pleasure to read. It's almost a caressing experience. |

You really captured the essence of 'want' here. Desire and need are interwoven as always, and you captured it all poetically perfect. |

Well done M, you express yourself beautifully. *s* On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

I spend lots of my free time thinking of someone special...never wanting to be away...and enjoying every second together...perhaps I appreciate her so much because we rarely spend time together...James |
