Bare Me |

Taut, the string of anxious wait as a single heart chord strums the willow’s limbs...as slumber waits beyond the gate of passion. Wise, the cry of a owl clinging to tomorrow’s eve, warily watching the darkened waters edge... Lingering, a single droplet, born of a tear, wavering slightly within a breeze of kindled coal’s wash... awaiting the curling wisp of steam as an ember drinks voraciously of a fatal flight. When, might the timid soul step lightly the moor in search the teasing tug on fiery lips and tender throat....following a lover’s mountainous curve before the shadow of a trilling sigh is reborn. Bare me, that I might unveil, hear me that I might sing. Touch me, that I might shiver....Gaze of me, that we might smile again. |

You are so lovely. This is just so tender, Mag. It reads as a whisper. Mag...smile. For "magnificent!" |

"Bare me, that I might unveil, hear me that I might sing. Touch me, that I might shiver....Gaze of me, that we might smile again." Ahhhh...wonderful!! Made me shiver. Hugs, N. For it was not into my ear you whispered |

Magnus~ 'When, might the timid soul step lightly the moor in search the teasing tug on fiery lips and tender throat....following a lover’s mountainous curve before the shadow of a trilling sigh is reborn.' COULD have just printed the entire piece to show my favorite thoughts ... but then ... I'd continue *sighing* half the night~ This is stunningly 'warm'~ LOVE IT~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Bare me, that I might unveil, hear me that I might sing. Touch me, that I might shiver....Gaze of me, that we might smile again'''' such a soft whisper and echo waiting for reply....beautiful ~~*~~ |
