And the warmth of him.... bringing in the logs for the long cold winter and making me tremble with the promise in his eyes ... of later walking barefoot through dark, silent woods green fir trees..dark brown eyes shiny black braids bride red feathers turquoise beads smoky prayers around a campfire..my fine white horse swifter than the north wind! and the warmth of him strong, handsome brave and favourite of the Sun god soft hot breath against my breast lips murmuring arms clinging, blood churning loins burning while the rain beat gentle on the tent near the lake and the pale Moon faded into dawn at the moment when the wild birds cry and the warmth of him. |

Exquisitely romantic and full of red blooded passion... Has a kind of close to nature feel to it that really adds to the mood I think. Enjoyed reading this poem very much and your poem gets a vote from me for sure. GOD bless. -Bob |

Nancy ~~~WOW~~~ I felt the goosebumps rising on my arms and legs as I read this.... This is steamier than a lake at dawn.... ~~~SSSS~~~~ sizzling!!! The last line of the poem stands out for me ~~~incredible climax~~~ The lake isn't the only thing that has steam rising from it here!!!! Gorgeous!!!

I love the way you can instantly transport the reader to different settings so quickly and seamlessly in this poem. It's very fantastic and mystical. I hope it gets into the book. "If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

I want to pop in here and thank each and every one of you who chose this piece to read..took the time to respond, and voted for this to be in the new Reflections book. Never ever did I believe less than two years ago I would grow so close to so many people here at this wonderful place I call my second home. Thank you Ron Carnell for inviting us into your home, and even moreso for your untiring dedication to the site and in putting this book 'Reflections' together. God bless you all...and to all of you.. ...Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~ |
