~*~ I tremble at the very thought of you. My pulse quickens whenever you pass by, Lightly brushing up against my quivering body ~ as if it were by chance... Your Sea Spray cologne lingers in the air, Leaving behind the essence of you. I inhale it deeply ~ deep into the me of me... Savoring the scent of your maleness, Lost in a world that cannot be. ~*~ |

This reminded me SO much of my favorite poem by Donald Justice: Love's Stratagem's But these maneuverings to avoid The touching of hands, These shifts to keep the eyes employed On objects more or less neutral (As honor, for time being, commands) Will hardly prevent their downfall. Stronger medicines are needed. Already they find None of their strategems have succeeded, Nor would have, no, Not had their eyes been stricken blind, Hands cut off at the elbow. (thought you might enjoy, as you seemed to be on the same wavelength.) Thanks for this one Linda. Lovely as you are. |

Sister, you snuck this in when I wasn't looking and I almost missed it. These kind of feelings are so darn hard and unfair .... maybe some day. Hugs and luvs, Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |

Hi, Marti! Like most of the Pipsters, I absolutely love to write! I have written everything imaginable: 2 novels, 1 screenplay, hundreds of poems, comic strips, magazine and newspaper articles, 2 children's books, 2 short stories, an outline for a sit-com, a children's play and a novella! ~ It appears that I am writing my own personal library! lol Many of my works I keep going back into, to rewrite passages or to add finishing touches. Some are published but most are just collecting dust! Well, I guess you believe me now when I say I love to write! Love & Joy, Linda |

Ahhh..there is nothing as tantalizing as love's interest piqued but unfulfilled. Did you see "Message in a Bottle"? PS I'm a cancer, incurably romantic and loyal as a dog. lol Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Ken ~ Shucks! There I did it again! My first thought was Cancer but then my rational mind took over and I said Leo! lol No, I didn't see that movie. Glad there's no cure for romantics such as yourself! The world needs more men like you! Smiles across the miles, EA |

Pascal ~ I love the scent of the ocean ~ so fresh, so clean, so natural and when that scent is on a man, it is even sweeter... Yes, annoint your body with a cologne that conjures up thoughts of the mighty ocean, and you will have women falling at your feet! Peace, Love & Light, EA |
