I pretend sleep As your lips gently Brush my hair Such love is in a kiss Bestowed on the unaware Some days I wonder How you could love someone So difficult And other days I just Accept Gratefully I know I can be a lot to handle And I grow ever more amazed That you do it so artfully I pray I never let you down I pray that you continue To kiss me as I sleep |

I once complained to my brother that my husband was just "oblivious" to me. He laughed at me. He said, "The man is oblivious out of self-defense." (I get NO respect, I tell ya.  )You made me smile with this one. I can be handful too.  |

Susan, you say you're a fan of mine well, I don't think that works.. since I'm a fan of yours. This will be in my library, if you need it later. Amazing write, doll. |

"Some days I wonder How you could love someone So difficult..." Love is not logical. ...it is magical. Nice poem. |

Oh Susan, this is such a heartfelt write...so beautiful and touching. Dang! I wish had someone who kissed me as I slept. But I just got out of the box of paradox, so now I am alone once more! And by the way, the arms as a shield...Nah, doesn't work! LOL Love this! Patricia |

Tender, tender, tender. This was indeed a sweet vision. What else do you write about? I would love other facets of your writing. I have only my genius to declare! |

Moni, Thank you! Funny you should ask, because I was thinking about it yesterday and decided I am bi-polar with what I write. You just never know if it is going to be sweet, hateful, or whatever else...when you go a hunting make sure you look in archives (not just for me, there are plenty other writers in here that far, far surpass me). You are going to love it here!! Susan |

A lament, I'm sure, shared by many! ...but maybe not with your humility and passion. Rf |

Well, the nice thing about real magic is that belief is not required. So, this bite thing, I mean are we talking really hard bites? Or, play bites? Or, are we just talking...you know...like...little nibbles? ...and whose age are you worried about? Just as one intellectual to another, I am simply curious. *GRINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN* |
