We have for days now
Been climbing these mountains
And the colder nights have made us trade
The soft cotton for wool.

At the beginning you enjoyed the respite
From our desert heat but I see now
You shiver and frown deeper lines
Into your forehead with each day.
I have insisted you wear one of my own robes
Over your and while it has warmed you a bit
I have seen the suffer in your face.

Last night you talked to me about melons
And how you wanted to enjoy them in the heat
And that wearing so many clothes as this
Suited you not in our tented bed
For you could not sleep in feel
Of my heart beat and my hands could not
Lay on your back without the layers of cloth between
And you needed to feel our skin touch to tell you
We were alive and real.

It was
You said
As if I was not

My love
We will this day cross the pass
And begin to descend to the warmer air we both love.
There we will again pitch our tent of silk
And lie inside, listening to the rustle of it
In the evening wind while feasting on the delights
Of our love.

There will be plates of melon for you
That I will cut into chunks
So that I might touch them to your lips
And feed you the sweetness of life
While I taste the nectar of you.

We will spend a few days in rest
And re-introduce our flesh to the sun
And to each others…

Steady on my heart
And take my hand
We are almost
There.

During these moments with your words, I escape this world and fall into the one you create. Not wanting to exit my escape, I read over and over again the words as I await...await your next pen.

Sorry, Ron, choking back a few tears here.

I could actually hear
the flutter of the silk tent..
in the dark,
and the flavour of the melon..on my lips.
Ooh...yes, please, thank your muse for us.

These lines are for absorbing again and again. *S* You do write love so well, Cap'n... this is even more poignant since I read out of sequence and know the ending. *S*
