Standing before me a wrought iron gate. Rusted, squeaking hinges beckoning The path beyond lying within a misty veil, shrouding tomorrow, beckoning Tis the path of life down a worn road of stone where briars line the narrow tugging at cloth sleeves Fear not this path for the journey, though unknown shall bring a sense of peace to a weary mind Though I walk uncharted I shall hold my head high My life before me calls ‘pon sound of eagle’s cry |

for e'en among the briar's vine sits the rose trapped, entwined, but still the smell she gives, so sweet her petals open, to bring, compleat the sigh from within my heavy breast for the rose, has passed this test |

Magnus darling heart ahhhhh how positively wonderful this is, the depth of feelings that you’ve wrapped and delivered in this are outstandingly good. You know your steps upon the road to self enlightenment are as a beacon to those who fall by the wayside. I am always inspired and moved by your writing, I know we joke about how much I utterly utterly love it, but in truth you are a superb writing. Really exquisite work darling man. Wonderful writing darling heart utterly utterly wonderful I love it utterly Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the earthquake wind and fire [This message has been edited by Marsha (07-27-2002 05:45 PM).] |
