Within this gentle exploration a touching as tentative as a touching can be and still be.....tactile is the certain knowledge that love can leave one as sensitive as a fresh burn A stifled moan gave rise to thoughts of wounds freshly healed and bandaged by this kiss beneath spools of two meshed as one a criss-crossing of hopes and fears a faint red spot to mark the place where paths have met…..lingered as substantial in its subtlety as the taste of ones' own name whispered pleading into ones' own mouth Upon such wounds, this kiss doth lie to satiate ancestral cries from brush of burn by hands of silk unraveled with ease, unleashing hurt, as profound in its reality as a single hair drawn long along the curve of lip I sigh.... A grit of teeth lip curl with eyes shine pleasure, shine pain from x to y coordination's neatly placed a union brushed, from hand to face from face to breath and breath to breast The journey from what we've done to what it's made us is as long as the one traveled by the tear…..cried in vain cotton infancy wrapped thus tight falls in pools onto the floor melting, melding with the night [This message has been edited by littlewing (08-27-2003 12:54 AM).] |

That first verse? smile. I can say this to you two and you will understand--but I actually pictured humans sniffing each other... and then you took the rest beyond the animalistic--lovely exploration--surprise and revelations. stunning. just stunning. smile. There IS something to be said for doing things slow.... I applaud. |

Ok lw and wranx, after reading a few times. You both have combined your styles very well. Sort of like Mantle and Maris. lw, unless you are a baseball nut. You wouldn't know what I'm talking about. But wranx would. Nice job, nice write. Like to see more of this. mysticpoe If nothing is something |

Sue and Ed...so much came to my mind while I was reading this the three times that I did. I can't even say here some of those things...I will say that they were along the same lines as what Karen said. I just don't know how to say them the way she did. It was beautiful beyond words to me. I would love to see more romance written by you two as a duet. Of cours, this hopeless romantic is keeping this, so I can read it many more times. LOL Hugs to you both Ethel |

Oh this is Wonderful! Aboslutely wonderful! You guyz have textured this so well. The meter is great...it just flows like wind through a mountain peak...just that naturally. The metaphors are thickly laquered on every notion...but never too much? Everything is just...meant to be where it is. That...is special. I loved this. ~Whisper~ |

The journey from what we've done to what it's made us is as long as the one traveled by the tear…..cried in vain cotton infancy wrapped thus tight falls in pools onto the floor melting, melding with the night harmony.... I love this you guys and you two do that last line uh-huh |

Thanks friends...for taking the time to read this. And for all of the kindneses that you've left here. Writing with Susie is a treat. I like the way she can say in 3 words, what takes me a paragraph. Thank you, Miss littlewing for being so patient with one that works as slow as I. |

OMG! this is exquisite! I can't begin to describe how this one touches me, except to tell you both it is my favorite of all the duets I've read here. No lie, no tease in this reply. I'm keeping it, and if you don't mind, I'll print a copy for my 'hard copy' favorites binder. Lovin the feel and the flow of this. |

(smiles) Oh Sue and Wanx, this is beautiful, sweet friend, we all need to wear these bandages when comes the injuries, as then we truly gain the ability to feel, rather than using those antibiotics! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friends, this is lovely, we all love you so much! You have such beautiful hearts, sweet Sue and Wranx, thank you both for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you both! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
