Make Me a Memory Dream me a fantasy, write me a tale Fly me to clouds on a white feathered sail Flutter a butterfly yellow and red Paint me a memory to etch in my head Snow me a blanket of white crystal ice Bake me aromas of cinnamon spice Warm me a fire when the sun has gone down Sleep me a dream wrapped in pillows of down Sail me on oceans of powerful tides Swirl me in whirlpools in roundabout rides Dare me adventure upon the blue sea Make me a memory of wind blowing free Mold me a garden that sparkles in dews Spatter the petals in bright pinks and blues Rain me a drizzle to feed them with wet Delight me a garden that I’ll not forget Dream me a love who is honest and true Wrap me in pleasure the way that you do Heat me in passion with words from your pen Kiss me a memory of love once again Cry me a tear from the pits of my soul Laugh me a giggle and reach me a goal Wonder my mind at the wisdom you write Make me a memory, dear poet, tonight Elizabeth Santos |

I don't think I could respond better than ethome, so let me echo his words. I will say the lyrical nature of this was elevating. |

Dear Liz - I love your poetry so much. I'll try to respond as only a rascally Long Jong could - please forgive me. I'll make you a memory you'll never forget, Something about cats in a bag, soaking wet. Or perhaps I'll remind you I'm not Balladeer When the next time we meet and I lick your ear. There! How's that? - heh - now, here's a huge hug for a wonderfully talented person. |

I always feel like I have been handed a poetic gift from you, and each one is more beautiful than the last. This is no exception, and I will say once again, you truly are gifted! "Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself." |
