We move beyond the simple pleasures of our bodies. Yes...the thickness of desire still hangs humid in the air. We taste it on the words we speak. And the weight of fingers pressed warm across the flesh...thrills to a deepness past the bone. This will never change. Yet we have opened doors that lead to higher worlds. We have glimpsed the ocean. And now nothing else will do - But to swim in holy waters. |

There aren't any words to really express what I think of this tender write. So, let it suffice to say... Lovely, with *sighs* ~Tier |

And now nothing else will do - But to swim in holy waters. ======================== Oh good grief...have mercy... there's something fine in your muse's water... this is subtle, sensual poetry done to perfection. I'm keeping this one to singe me mothy self on later LOL Out standing write poet sir.  "How could I stand here with you and not be moved by you." |

Dear Eric, your poems are gifts to treasure forever. And these "Holy Waters" you speak of, unleash such deep longing .... a thirst that can't be stilled, unless we cross those doors to higher worlds. Wonderful words. I love you. Margherita |
