Aquamarine washes over me streaming. You are here before me in an unfamiliar moment in familiar surroundings flowing with busy voices, restless feet and hazy faces. But, like ghosts, I see through them to only ourselves: your current surrounds me, it tugs me, small waves building upon waves. How simple if I could wish away solidity, will myself porous, then let you filter through me, each cool touch and tendril threading my heat, each liquid strand mingling with mine. Yet I'm stranded, and your eyes flow freely, aquamarine washes onto me streaming even over sealed lips, which might part and drink. If only you would sweep me away from these struggling shadows and illuminated walls to where the wind shivers silently, the trees stand still and the leaves, speechless. |

I am glad to see that as your technical ability grows you have not left the things that made you a natural poet behind. I bet you have become the teacher's pet...heh Love this dear. There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Now who's gorgeous? Smiling at you from across the ocean...you write from a tranquil place so deep inside, I do so envy that. (My writing methods resemble sort of an emotional catfight...) You're GORGEOUS. |
