There will come a time of this when blackberries will grow like fists staining our white picket fence and will you love me then? there will come a time of thus tomatoes, on the stakes, they must be watered twice a day or bust or worms will enter in... Oh will you love me then? And when I'm old and fat and gray and my rocker's rocked a sway of groove before the hearth and hey? Would you gather me my wood? (You know I'd love you then...) I will knit a woolly cap for where your hair was once and that is where my fingers trace the track of my heartbeat on your head lightly, as you sleep. (You drool.) I kiss you, right there on your tooth. You warm your hands within my old, maps... and will you love me then? |

I will knit a woolly cap for where your hair was once and that is where my fingers trace the track of my heartbeat on your head OMG. I had to stop reading right there and wipe away tears. This oh, so tender piece must have been written on moss growin' on those weary, New Orleans trees. ![]() Keepin' this! luv ya, Chrislane |

And now, I know you are psychic! Loved this, Serenity! So much love in your words. You know, I heard some serious guitar pickin' behind the "lyrics" here -- seriously, it would make some great folk rock. ![]() |

Will we be loved while charm fades on, When life will pass from dawn to dawn. Will we be roses, still bright with glow. We make that day now, 'twas ever so. Wonderful writing, I'm so glad you're back. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
