Won't you lay down here beside me? Let me rub your back awhile? Let me kiss your neck quite gently, Hear you moan, and see you smile? Could we sit and talk of artists, Compare our favorite lines? Maybe tell of favorite places, And sip our favorite wines? I would tell you that I love you... If that would be alright... I would merely like to hold you, On a rainy, winter night. At my age I'm not a player, Just another lonely man... Who could do with some companionship, Who would like to hold your hand. If I dream, then gently wake me- There's no need to be unkind. Just smile, and say, "I think I'll pass", Then leave me far behind. Ere you pen your reply missal, Lest these words of mine offend- May I ask for your forgiveness, No offense did I intend. |

John, you've changed your image - no longer the mavererick, you've become somewhat - err respectable. Still I like the softness in this. If I declined it would have to be because my arthritis is playing up. *soft smile Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
