Softly The Latch... |

The door shut soft against the grain as a latch clicked my heart shut. A lingering sigh escapes lips that have tasted vintage wine. Still warm, the pillowed fluff that rested beneath wildflower hair as beaded pores reflect the moon’s light against the headboard. The musk of a dream lingers. Reaching out, touching the warmth of cotton and silk where curves stirred the passionate flames. Now only embers glow the once roaring hearth of lust. Eyes become heavy as candles dance the shadow, and the soft sound of bare feet walk wooden coolness into dream scape...as a slumbering smile glints the stars of night... again.... |

Barry! This is an incredible write. I think I had this experience once. Awesome writing. What a heart you have. Thanks for this keeper. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Oh Barry, For some reason, I have missed this side of you in your poetry. I am a new kid on the block, and too, I just discovered you a few weeks ago. But man, have I been missing out or what? I am going to have to keep careful watch on you, Barry, don't want to miss anything... Patricia |
