When,   when will I know?
Will there be a warning,
a  tap on one’s shoulder

lightly...

softly, enough to stir one
from sleep as eyes flutter
and a smile awakes the face
to sigh..

Will I feel the warmth of you over me
settling
ever gently upon me.....

As a moan escapes my lips...
And your lips capture me..

Embrace me...

Trace me softly at the day’s break
until the shadow of us dances
upon walls in echoes
of light’s dark silhouette..

Stop only when the flame dies...
When our embers
become ash upon the hearth
of our love

Sighing deeply here!! Lovely Magnus. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Barry,
I'm such a fool for romanticism and you do it so well! I sure like your work.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Hey sparks flew with this one, well done.

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?
