  I was teetering
   on the brink
     of forgetfulness
       Until you swept me
          off my feet
              and
               I was kidnapped
                   by love's recall.

Thankyou loner.

A ransom that one would not mind being paid.

Thank you.

Ah Chris...you know, you say so much in just a few words.  
I really love this.
Take care and stay warm on this gloomy, cold Friday.

Chris,
I didn't know that was a brink! I had no idea I had been so close to danger so many times. Lovely write.

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