Heavy and moist the air As jungle heat rising, in the velvet of dark and cavernous halls Absent of leaf and languid in a primal beckoning Aglow in a golden drape, invisible places Consuming reasons that pant in the mists Enlivening my skin with magic Connecting me in ancient language Rippling to the curve of spine and familiar rhythm I know you…invisible and stoic in a regal gaze That blushes first upon my cheek and next upon my thoughts Still budded from a lingering spring, in ceaseless succulent rose The winter, in it’s all and knowing sleep redeems me Another reason longer, tender and aware in every perfect lace Until I have restored the balance of caution and intimate speculation Movement slowing in your pattern of stripe and honey buff Feeling the hum of uncertainty, reflexive and gleam Low in your throat that burn in strings against a starlight sky And I can only wonder as I look into your eyes If I shall be devoured, or lavished Heavy and moist the air Your breath upon my neck Copyright Kkh 01/30/05 [This message has been edited by ThisDiamond (01-31-2005 11:27 PM).] |

"And I can only wonder as I look into your eyes If I shall be devoured, or lavished" ~ You've got me wondering as well! Either way, you come out a winner! lol EA |

Kathleen~ 'I know you…invisible and stoic in a regal gaze That blushes first upon my cheek and next upon my thoughts' The beauty of your thoughts brush ever-lightly against my heart~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
