A Stranger Dance Exclamation marks excited her preparation for what eyes might walk her spine it was because of him those words he had slipped beneath her when she had not looked but only felt and which gods should she thank for being alive again as she looked into shared reflections ~ seeing hope freshen ~ [reminded (of self ] images) found in liquid pools raining salt as she laid there rivulets streaming toward temples of gray ~*~ salt-and-pepper shadows nudging memories fingertips rasping voices sulky ~*~ winds blew while rains seeped tangled shadows wrangled silk and satin dreams yet expectation still woke her to wonder if a camel’s hair blush could silk dreams come true she draped drop earrings onto ears that burned, perhaps hoping they would show him inner tension in their dance when he once again slipped those words beneath her her white slink blouse buttons vying for attention her remaining youth… blossoming in this spring dance A stranger dance she had yet to know… |

does indeed sound as if the change in seasons has brought out in you the things perhaps buried too long inside... a nice piece... I enjoyed |

Oh, I like this so much. It feels mysterious, and yet inviting. For some unknown reason it reminded me of a pastlove that I rarely think of. (Funny what words can do to the memories) Sandra |

Exclamation marks kind of drive the point home don't they? I really enjoyed the way your words danced among the flames, and watching the heat rise!!!!!!!! [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (04-11-2002 09:35 PM).] |
