Three wishes…fell spinning from heaven itself And I danced in the rain…not smugly, but joyfully The order of things had taken careful settlement My heart was light and radiant…A dazzling brunette Your cautious smart remarks pinched my fancy-free For months I walked on by, looking over my shoulder Catching your eye, and wondering what spark might smolder Your wit, always worn a tight fit…and delight Conversing in the whipped cream light…finger painted charms A part of me awoke without my permission, or yours Parceled into smaller dishes…feast of delicate and tender bits Tangle throated as we sipped of storms and ginger root Convulsing in the reality of what it was…and I spoke it Like a sin that slapped your pride and courage With thunders smoke, you flee so fearfully from love Copyright Kkh 3/28/04 |

"Like a sin that slapped your pride and courage" Beautiful imagery the speaking of love can have such a deep effect on one. Reminds me of the first time someone spoke those words to me. I ran like a mouse from an owl. A secret place high atop the forest hills and valleys touched by all you have been and content to be all that you are. |

"For months I walked on by, looking over my shoulder Catching your eye, and wondering what spark might smolder Your wit, always worn a tight fit…and delight Conversing in the whipped cream light…finger painted charms A part of me awoke without my permission, or yours" Delightful. SG |
