Oh, to reside
in eternal euphoric bliss
of a lover's satiated embrace . . .

What beauty
to always feel secure.
To be loved.
To be warm.

To hunger,
for that which you already possess.

To be alive,
yet in a constant state
of rusted passion.

And never having to think,
of a synapse

or two

that skipped a beat.

----------------------------------------------


(Special thanks to green itchy stuff,
(Craig) for letting me use rusted passion,
it is his.)

lw, isn't a bit wierd how feelings are verything when you come right down to it. Like each of us are made up of 99%+ of water. Like the water within us, without feelings, we'd be nothing. But as in water, we hide our feelings well. Which can mask our real intentions, thus losing precious time. Great feelings and write here lw. Hold onto this passion you have now with faith.. and love will have no choice but to be the by-product. This special and so wonderfully easy THING we take and have with us always and forever... and thanks for responding to my last write here lw. Later.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

I don’t want the world to see me
cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

"Rusted passion" is quite a phrase; it fits well with the quality of your write.  Ken

Sue,
This is super romantic. So I hate to trouble you but if you write a sequel will it be "Reflux"?

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
