Conclusions wet the lips
Coursing tart and tender through the loins of experience
Disassembling jaws agape where purity once made clear
As crystal waters…reflective as glass a moments pass

The ways of human will have bent along a twisted path
Where bodies mark the passages of playtime in their aftermath
Yet I, so strangely dream in multiples

I want to be the sable secret place where you come to hibernate
From the dust of days upon too many days
Living in the almanac of farmer’s ways…to sow before the seed
To tend before a harvest need, and feed a hungering forever

Beside you in the fields, beside you through inclement weather
And I conclude not nobler than any other lover…
Founding all we give to one another

To live in teach and learn, boil and churn, create and yearn
So built upon the cornerstone of friend
A noble heart dependable to lend…and lift in adoration
Mornings that rise certainly in full resuscitation

And joy, not needing to be coy, but naked and unashamed
To free the manly child in you that still cannot be tamed
And cheer…not with a trial offer here…but blind
Entrusting what my heart will find

The wind, to stir your thought, in fun adventures unexpected brought
Initiated proudly at your feet, each touch attended and complete
For I will not be tread, yet kiss the soles that carry me instead
And I am brought to gasp within your eyes, all I have learned should come as no surprise
To love you…over and over and over…

Funny how your work always stirs the senses and spurs a strange little whisper of longing within.  Of course, with this one, it's more of a wild wind calling.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

starting at the basics, there is nothing simpler than love everlasting

OMG -- this reaches beneath the skin, for sure.  Beautiful, Kathleen, really, really wonderful.   .....jo
