Sung warm in alto caress A tantalize of rice paper lace Fine loomed and sheer Exposing silken modesty to starlight kisses Opening sighs to the smile she misses Buds blush the cool November night Warily they tremble, yet bloom still the chill Moving with the sway of autumns breath Where dew collects within his palm her kisses follow Dampening the lips eclipse and hollow Filled once and then again of sea blue eyes Moved to deeper greens, made smooth and supple And bare beneath the heavens lay in willingness without delay Another song composed within the wild of child’s play Sung warm, a prayer unto his ear, her own soft say Defining virgin yet again, tutored to be sweet Labored to be long, in tender notes held close and strong Spirited the touches of uncertainty and teased so cleverly November rose, most joyous spares the clothes of night Sung warm beneath the frosting blooms, her heart his true delight Copyright Kkh 11/08/04 |

Where Autumn's breeze shortens each breath causing the heart to pound faster, rises the anticipation of two lost in crisp orchestra of starlight kisses. Seems the inspire from this season has found a pen of gold to indulge. Passion laced in as much beauty as the eyes of remember and a treasure to hold. ( rasises glass for a toast ) |

No one caresses a well crafted poem as finely as our own Cowboy...so all I can do is cheer his toast. Well done, Kathleen! |

Was thinking ... Autumn seems the nicest time to build an arbor. ( Forgot to click library ). Must have still had my eyes closed. |

Defining virgin yet again, tutored to be sweet Labored to be long, in tender notes held close and strong Spirited the touches of uncertainty and teased so cleverly November rose, most joyous spares the clothes of night Sung warm beneath the frosting blooms, her heart his true delight this was dreadfully good, had me sighing and wanting more... This has defined a touching love story with affection and heartfelt images...thank you for sharing |

November is the nicest time to build anything...the foundation is sound, and the heart sees clearest with eyes closed. Smiling... |

Odd....just yesterday I was thinking of writing about a white worn trellis, one leading to the window sill of a fair lovely maid...seems you beat me to the punch, and not only beat me, but created something so vividly beautiful...as only you can. |
