I turned old leather binding again And searched for the lines I wanted “She was beauty that caused me to pause far too often and ask why she would care” It began, as I found the dog-eared page “it is not the outside, though it entices me to want her soft in my bed, but the things she shows inside which make me wonder why, such a person as this would look at me with eyes saying own me” I closed the book And tied it again together so that what was inside Stayed there safe, hidden from me and any who might Pass it by and decide to read Then walked to the edge of the river And thought about how it was To be so close to someone and know That there was never a way to hold onto Those things that like the river Were bound to flow Pulling a new book from behind the seat I began, “Today, as I touched the part of you where both pleasure and guilt reside, I knew there were reasons that your eyes followed mine and that your soul seemed to draw itself towards me” “I am still grounded in the stone face of bluff and the giggled laugh of water on gravel, some how I can touch and feel the earth flow through my veins” I stopped and closed the page Wondering what words would follow Love |

“Today, as I touched the part of you where both pleasure and guilt reside, I knew there were reasons that your eyes followed mine and that your soul seemed to draw itself towards me” “I am still grounded in the stone face of bluff and the giggled laugh of water on gravel, some how I can touch and feel the earth flow through my veins” =================================== good lord........... these verses are tattooed on my soul.... have mercy...lordy I love your muse.

"Then walked to the edge of the river And thought about how it was To be so close to someone and know That there was never a way to hold onto Those things that like the river Were bound to flow" Simply beautiful...  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
