Lemongrass before you sleep,
Will you deep in slumber keep,
Now mustard seed if you should take,
When time for bed will keep awake.

Aromas of forgotten past,
Slow oracles that move to fast,
Both seizure muse ‘til thyme is spent,
In pendulums of discontentment.

Gazing on the second hand,
Parsing past the minute hand,
I realized t’was getting late,
And guessed it best to not tempt fate.

Well now ... you sure met that challenge with 2 minutes to spare

Excellent as usual, and would not expect less from you sir.

Ah, alas the news can wait
For TV seems but second rate
Compaired to screen of heaven's stars
To Milkyway, to red of Mars
To late night symphony of sort
Awaiting just beyond our porch
The crickets chirps, the silken sighs
The fire that lights up the eyes
Of lovers just like you and me
Who faced with with choice would rather see
The stars, the moon, the setting sun
Than TV news or old reruns

...by the way, there are still lots of requests out there for a duet, want to do it?

Ummm, couldn't help but overhear your conversation now could I?

So, if I can put in a request then I sure would like to see you two take on the personalities of two separated lovers going through war or some similar devastating separation. I know you can't be programmed to write but sure would be nice if you continued the storyline and expanded on it from time to time developing the characters to a point they are reunited. Ruth - Tim you two definitely can write off each other well, that is for sure.
