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… Copyright Kkh 7/1/04 |

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. |

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

"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" OMG -- this reaches beneath the skin, for sure. Beautiful, Kathleen, really, really wonderful. ![]() |
