I’m making love to my muse- lying face up; parallel but clandestine- and proverbial dots tumble all-around my eyes. The curtains are drawn but the Windows are open. Microsoft air borders my flesh. The sheets are wet. Animated movements soon become an italicized passage. We are centered and aligned. I’m rapt verse to your gratis sonnet. Your arms rumple pages, my lips flood into lines, our legs wrap the text. Our margins narrow in- blank spaces become tinted peaks… we quiver in abandon. I am liquid paper but you, my muse, are my indelible ink. photo: Vintage Hollywood Photography -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |

I am liquid paper but you, my muse, are my indelible ink. ====================== very clever write Lady S... creative anology and use of metaphor what poet doesnt love the thought of mixing passion with words... like rolling naked in the classics *L* very well done Poetess jm This distance has shown how the road remains alone |

Sudhir, thank you kind sir. Maree, you know the inspiration for this one was right in front of me all the time I was typing! Thank you for replying. Janet Marie, exactly my feelings. I mean if you can't have fun while you're writing why bother? Thank you for peeking in. Sandra, well, you just go right on if it makes you feel good! That's my main goal to spread joy and sunshine wherever I go. Forgive the cliché! Thank you for replying. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |

Shallot, Very well done! Fantastic poem. =)I can sense the romatic in you, yes indeed. As I myself am one, I found it quite entertaining to read... I absolutely love how you took poetry, our form of expression - our way of life, and applied it too something so sensual and intimate. It is a very vived picture. *stands up and applauds!* Keep at it my lovely lass. You're one good write. Sincerely, Titus "Old Men Love While Young Men Die" Kipling |

Thank you, I usually address each one personally, but I'm not feeling very well this evening. Thank you for reading my words, if they made you feel good, that's all that is important. God bless you all! -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |

Once again, your choice of artwork is perfect. Love b/w. Wouldn't it be incredible to make love on a bed of poetry written by the two of you...on rice paper. |
