Magnus is dealing with a cranky computer tonight so I'm just posting this one for him.... The pounding surf...breeze from the east... Lazy moon setting slowly beneath clouds. Sounds of fog horns in the night, bells. Lights of fishing vessels slowly moving. A passionate kiss shared by two as one. The warmth of passion staving off the chill. Their thoughts of only one purpose, goal. Love flows with the tides of a starlit cove. Time stands still at this juncture in love. The tick of a heavenly clock now silent. Sighs of contentment matching the waves. A moan breaking the rhythmic sea. In the distance...a small cottage awaits. The flapping sign on the knob calling. Three words universal upon the door. Three words known....whispering to them. Sensing the moment...running, darting. Chasing in mock anger and distress. Dashing into the crashing waves, giggling. Lovers dance a tune of "Can’t Catch Me!" Falling to the sand, breathless, waiting. Looking into the eyes of the other, knowing. No spoken word needed to say they should.. Passions flame burning hot within. The sound of a door shutting loudly. Hurried steps up a flight of stairs, laughing. Two loves become one, beneath a smiling moon as a message wags lazily on the door outside.. Do Not Disturb... |

Magnus, they weren't the three words I was expecting * soft smile*...but they were such good words. Kethry. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
