when you relentlessly make me smile,
I am carried far above everything that troubled me
before I stepped across your inviting puddle...

fly me up above all I’ve ever known;
smother my routine with your impeccably chosen words...


when you lure me away from my temporary plight,
I escape blithely across the blue that left me dejected
before I considered it from your angle...

sail me over everything that is familiar;
put to rest my strife with your tranquil hands...


when you relight the flame that began to wane,
I burn mercilessly through the darkness that haunted me
before I indulged in your night...

bathe me in your enveloping heat;
give me pure eyes with the tendencies of your mind...


-kh 12/01


(hey,   )

And did you know with the rain in your pockets,
you can change the weather...

Ahem... a certain     requests me to reply on his behalf        

~*~


As jeweled kisses whisper behind your eyelids of pearl
I delight in the harmony as your songs begin to unfurl
Gentle touches blossom next to the marbled ridge
As once again we are captured by nature's bridge

Moments of silence rippled through this river of time
Resting against the stones in your thoughts sublime
Wondrous visions swirling in the purity of this day
As your fingers touch horizons of this life at play

Crystal breezes caress the silence of comfort's sound
Beating with in your heart as heaven's treasures abound
Needles of pine sprinkle lonely tears across winter's air
Blessing the miracles of birth in this privacy we share

Held in memory's grasp against the shadow of your eyes
The wings of velvet beat against residual morning cries
Enraptured views pulse in the atmosphere of my soul
As we dance through galaxies towards eternity's goal


Mark Christopher

Ok..its my turn now that my secretarial duties are done..

What I dont do in the name of friendship  (wakkawakka) hehe

WAY COOL to see your muse returning girlie...
and to be so inspired...it must be nice...
Aquarian Inspired no less  
love the imagery and emotional tie ins in this Kris...and I love the 3 line verses with the couplets completing the thoughts in between...and the presentation.
Thanks for posting...(like you had a choice...you were out numbered) LOL

Its not like you to say sorry,
I was waitin on a different story.
This time I'm mistaken ...
for handing you a heart worth breaking.

LOL @ JM...you should start charging for that
'secretarial' stuff.  You could make a fortune! LOL
