I come back to read you, again. Furtive devotion, a physical presence on this end, boneless face never photogenic and always misread (after a time purposely so), and there, eyes, cool ponds, brows, inquisitive, alert, a mouth I’d reincarnate as Chapstick to press, to heal, to share time in your mirror (even brief, disposable), unhurt by your distractions When I look at your tiny photo I have no bone or cartilage and mollify in imploded silence, a wee and weakened thing somewhere behind the navel of this aging carcass Your fine pelage in genteel circlet, a wisped diadem, nature’s garland to the beau ideal, enfolds translucent skin, (Oh, dare I go on?) the texture incomparable, (the moon perhaps before we knew it) unimaginable I knew succor in your sanctioned comments, words which ran like mother’s fingers through a boy’s jumbled scalp when nuzzling her apron, fresh from a brutal world’s insult We traded words from public view but I, in steadfast fear of failure and braced by fortune’s error never told you how deep emotion was interred or how close I press my face to dream of your scent even now This ink must pass for my blood on pure pages this quill will never touch Poets against the war is redundant |

Richard This touched me with it's truth of loving outpouring, and I wondered who, then let it go as better not to know. |

God this tugs Richard and I agree with Martie, perhaps better remaining unknown but me thinks this person is very lucky to stir this in you.  Would you mind terribly if I sighed at the beauty in this? The greatest beauty on earth, is found in the hearts of those who love.... |

You can touch without lifting a finger, p0werfully expressed, very emotional,romantic, everything a woman would love to feel rolled up into one poem! She is lucky to have such words, and you lucky to have such inspiration~ I do hope she inspires you more! ~ARH  Come,love all of me, mind, body, spirit..feel my passion, taste of me, be filled completely! |

When the taste of milk and honey falls in sweet words from petaled lips, caressing and inviting, scattering the essence of love in poetic phrase...it's a moment to remember. "I’d reincarnate as Chapstick to press, to heal, to share time in your mirror (even brief, disposable), unhurt by your distractions" What a beautiful write! |

She certainly is very lucky to find such a romantic man in her lifetime indeed.  |

Heart felt - heart rending - oh the cries of the soul - I hope she will know - and that you will feel her embrace of your words  SusanIf I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

and some of us adore Chapstick, even when our lips feel fine  throwing a Bravo rose  [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (01-30-2005 10:36 PM).] |
