It was there, that hidden place, just behind a lid....as a tear fell silently to the waiting cold earth...and she knew...feeling his eyes staring through her soul....cleaving deep within the spirit of her, carving into the depth of her essence....Until she breathlessly ran.....stumbled into that imaginary place that seemed so very real....her sanctuary... Turn key isolation, his heart stopped, emotions frozen to the cold steel of logic. The thought of her mouth melted him in rivers of warm dreams Swelling in his chest the gentle sleep of vulnerable. Cherry wood doors, latched and bolted, shook loose offering their fortress no more. It was there, that hidden place, just behind a lid That echoed of her fragrance and her fears... She felt his fleeting touch, a stifled cry hungering to escape. But she knew that he would win, he always did. Only on those nights when the curtain lightly touched her cheek, when the cool air of evening brushed a lid.....only then did she feel safe....until the pale of dawn huddled, just behind a lid...a quivering lid....as she held her breath, once more. Grasped within his hands, palms leaving wet the sheets, as she sang to him... Raking the back of doubt with her sighs. Trembling the walls of his carefully kept will in cling of raindrop stream. Inevitable, that she traveled there...walking carefully The garden path that led to secret places, tender traces found on sacred ground. And all was let to see, each touch upon a memory... A place....near the heart...far from nowhere...close to everywhere....where love is again born beneath a cloudless sky....as a crescent moon shines over a place, a sanctuary....just behind a lid... |

Duets...sort-of get to me these days....and this one so very good..... If nobody minds, I'm going to just slip off and be alone for a while...... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Barry and Kathleen. "A place....near the heart...far from nowhere...close to everywhere....where love is ...just behind a lid..." I loved how the above theme echoed within the poem and held it together. Wonderfully done you two!!  |

"A place....near the heart...far from nowhere...close to everywhere....where love is again born beneath a cloudless sky...." Oh my, Barry and Kathleen.. THIS is exquisite. The best duet I have seen in a long long while. ~Hugging you both, Nancy~ In the midst of winter, |
