If you follow a colonnade of candles upon emerald fern stepping stones If you follow scintillating lanterns and fluting winds of the trees lilac mist from sunset rain and yellow, gold, and rustic leaves beneath an embellishment of stars you will find me Upon a wrought iron chair and a rustic table set for two a milieu of mahogany leaves a habitat of songbirds, blue you will discover our secluded rendezvous goblets of a Chardonnay just for me and you Follow whispers of hollow trees listen for the whip-poor-will honeysuckle in their beaks yellow ribbons for my hair adorning blandished streaks Gardenia wax dripping down the shaft of night within the woodlands in nocturnal moonlight lost dreams will come true upon white petals of wisterias just me and you You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. -Ziggy [This message has been edited by Victoria (01-19-2002 11:10 PM).] |

Victoria, the closing stanza is sensuously inviting and beautiful. Now, exactly where are these "woodlands" and what time shall we meet *wink* Robert Joseph |

"Gardenia wax dripping down the shaft of night within the woodlands in nocturnal moonlight lost dreams will come true upon white petals of wisterias just me and you." (smiles) Ooohhhhhhh...I love this soooo much, you always write the most gorgeous imagery in your pretty words, it all seems so magical! (kiss on cheek) The beauty of nature and enchantment shines in your words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Victoria, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
