A Sigh In Hold Before I knew better I was dreaming my way into your arms, folding into your touches, leaving behind the shadows, blanketed by the indigo night. I opened my thoughts mind-skipping along Dorothy's path. Saturated, thirst quenched by your nearness and the kisses laid softly upon, the departing distance seemed shorter. Oldies penetrated the scheme of things. Love tunes turned sour, became sweetened with each mile, each sing-a-long, as I glanced to the left keeping sight of the moon in its glory of blue. On this night you burdened my thought with want, time with you renewed feelings once rejected. Struggling to this point, I eased into my longings, there loving watching you watching me, a sigh in hold. With each look, I began to package you, wrap you as my take-a-long, memories to feed me on my journey home. With you-thoughts, the past is always my present, the present always to become my past, a never ending circle. I imagine reality with you not knowing the feel, awakening with you by my side, watching the rise and fall of each breath, a rhythm all your own. I cover your landscape with my eyes, enjoying the filling of my emptiness, the peacefulness, as I drift with you in anywhere-thoughts, all those places yet to be. I stretch to reach you, to attain the height of happiness, a kiss of tomorrows, my inspiration of today. M tify "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

I love all of this, but the line "folding into your touches" and the 5th stanzas are my favorites! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Maureen darling heart, this has to be one of your utter utter best, when the flow is as smooth as water over glass, when the phrasing is as delicately meshed into the whole as to make the mind sigh, when the touch of the words falls in a soul with a velvet touch, then I know I’ve read something special. This fulfils the promise of beauty that is offered by your name, when I see your name I know its quality. THIS Is simply superb writing, and I love it utterly utterly utterly Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Well done Maureen! You might be mind skipping along Dorothy's path but you'll never be taking the journey to get a heart because you've already got a big one! Love how you end this in peaceful reflect....yearning but still warm from the memories. Can ya tell I liked it? |
