This is an excerpt from an IM conversation with Susie (posted with her blessing, provided I clean it up) Love you Baby! ............................ How can I love you this much? You take breath from me into your own And savor it like a fine meal an old spirit And taste it within your mouth and breathe it back For me to live once again As familiar as a campfire from generations ago The one we may have shared or been comforted by Seeing you glowing by that fire orange red flickers lighting all but the darkest of places Famialiarity blended with the unknown And it’s within those shadows that I seek you ( I hide within those flames) Look for your totem the animal that rules you Searching… for the attributes of the dove within you The bird of peace... Loves’ own totem In the distance, I hear echos and lean into you with the unspoken inquiry (is that you, my love? ) And cover us with our hides ancient furs to keep us warm Even as we warm the others heart Bedding down in the brush into the arms of the other Finding… in that self imposed darkness Another of like kind and like mind One soul shared by two Skin, tells our histories as twin flames flicker Hands speak our doubts Mouths explore our hopes Line upon line we cross palms turned to sky Our breath becomes a thing of substance as we pant out our pleadings and is painted on flesh A mark The mark known from birth but never recognized Under those rough skins the dove is granted flight even as she is taken And in flight he is given to new heights She cries . . . not, for what was She sings... for what is and shall always be She lives… within him In her… he gains strength And is lifted upon those wings which he himself Has granted freedom "In looking Northward, I see a light" [This message has been edited by wranx (09-23-2003 03:42 AM).] |

Under those rough skins the dove is granted flight even as she is taken And in flight he is given to new heights She cries . . . not, for what was She sings... for what is and shall always be She lives… within him In her… he gains strength And is lifted upon those wings which he himself Has granted freedom This is absolutely beautiful... and to know that it flowed freely between two poets rather than dripped as sweat from laboring pen makes it even more special. *S* |

Guess it's time to say Hi and thanks to all of you that have taken the time to read this, and for the kindest of replies! And a very special thanks to that very special someone who held my hand this morning, while I sat confused and alone as water from the hillside ran across the floor and the river outside swelled to bursting. (with some luck I can return to the shack in the morning....and make plans to move. I've had enough.) Kisses Susie (thanks) "In looking Northward, I see a light" |
