“Travis” she began as she handed me my cup then motioned for me to follow her into the living room where she picked an old leather chair and sat down crosswise, throwing one leg up over an overstuffed arm and tucking the faded nightgown between her legs. “I have to tell you about Davis and me.” She continued as I sat down across from her On a straight backed wooden chair that looked Like an old desk chair from a school room,. “I’m not sure you have to tell me anything.” I replied and sipped the strong coffee appreciating the snake bite medicine she had added and wondering where this was heading. “You should know.” She answered with a slight frown. I watched her eyes as she looked towards what looked To be the bullet crease on stone, and knew she was rolling back In her mind to places before me that were to her Like Cooper’s Creek was to me. “Later,” I said fighting the urge to touch her cheek as well as the urge to run before she told me that her ghost was Davis. My hands won out. Some how I reached across too many years And through all the scars we both wore And touched her cheek. Just a touch That brushed along her cheekbone And down to her chin, But it was too much for words When she focused her eyes on mine “I never did show you my bed.” She said “and I haven’t slept much lately.” She swung her legs around in the chair And stood up. Walking the one step to my chair She bent over to kiss me on the cheek And the V neck of her gown gapped open To reveal more than modesty allows a woman to show Unless she is planning on showing more. “I am tired.” I said “Which way to your room?” [This message has been edited by Cpat Hair (02-28-2003 09:52 AM).] |

Just a touch That brushed along her cheekbone And down to her chin, But it was too much for words When she focused her eyes on mine ================================== OH YEAH... MC forum here we come all moth teasing aside.... Some how I reached across too many years And through all the scars we both wore And touched her cheek. the tenderness and longing you wrote this with touches places deep poet sir... which is why we fell for this series so long ago. Your writing this new character with such depth that I am ALMOST forgiving you for leaving Iambe behind *L* |
