Finally, alone with you.
We wasted too much time again.
Taunting tantalizing tease...
we tasted too much wine of "friend".

My hands still smell of your cologne.
I lick my lips and taste your smile.
I close my eyes to keep you close--
I hear your voice across the miles.

No. I will not sleep tonight.
(I love you.) I am terrified.
I'll hug my pillow much too tight--
for dreams cannot compare with life.

So now return me, unto crypt,
until you make me live again.
Awaiting silken spark of lips--
a fairy tale begs to begin.

You know what?  You wrote this for me, whether you knew it or not.  But this time, the fairytale's coming true.

Speaking of which dreamland awaits me...what a nice ending to a time well spent at Passions and yours being the last one sending me to a dream.  Nice Karen.

(sigh) Dreams may never compare to reality, for dreams are far more harmonious, but very soon and always your fairy-tale will come true and true love will sing to your heart always! (kiss on cheek) This is filled with such rapture, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

You speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes.
My body aches to breathe your breath ... your words keep me alive.

You haven't been kissing frogs again, have you

Well done.  
Romantically enticing.  
I love it!

Dreams can never compare to a real love, although they are a great comfort at times.
