draw me out of: names that don’t matter on long winter nights the warmth from your hands all I need if you're ‘here’ when I return to ‘earth’ you would know water, echo’s of everything you can not see how I can be beautiful -- or; how gentle my eyes yield your abandonment a surviving view-- balanced on shoulders well traveled alone, I am falling empty, naked with interest-- avowed by sound I remember: guilt -- walls that have no end-- -- layers of ashes-- slates of blue clouds sweeping the dusty earth across my skin I tremble in anticipation, the next color return only when you desire the shade of my heart and maybe you will remember the softness of my mouth I would rather have one breath of his hair, one kiss of his mouth, one touch of his hand than an eternity without it.

What a write! I don't know just how to take it right now ... maybe after a couple of more readings my poor, bent mind will comprehend your meaning |

How do you write so well? there's so many choice phrases here, it's like a meal followed by another followed by another. I'm stuffed, but I still want more. Stop killing me. Please? She said burn ... together. |

Lauren darling girl this is utterly utterly wonderful. This flows with the smoothness of water. It is flowing over my soul in a torrent of wonder. Beautiful writing darling heart utterly utterly beautiful. You really do paint with magic you know You do know I absolutely love this don’t you? Of course you do. As always darling girl this is utterly utterly perfect Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

"return only when you desire the shade of my heart and maybe you will remember the softness of my mouth" (sigh) This is soooooo beautifully bittersweet, sweet friend, I hope you have found your true love that has reached into the depths of your heart and honored all the colors you bring him! (kiss on cheek) This is fabulous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lauren, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
