It Is Not I..... |

It is not I who flutters your lids, races the beat of a yearning heart, speaks soft whispers till the break of dawn. It is not I who shivers in wait, listening for the echo of a lingering sigh. No, it is not I. Nor is it I who climbs the vine into clouds of waiting tears, reaching for the searing rays of a sun filled with comet’s tails. No, it is not I, nor shall it ever be for it is we....we both who madly desire the shadow that mingles, the trace that tingles and the kiss that lasts until a breath caresses closed lids....long into the still of of a sweltering night. |

We ... intended as One, yes this is beautiful, dear Barry! And I smile because I had to check the word "swelter" and in German it is explained in three words "vor Hitze umkommen" which literally means "die from heat". This is passion! Love and hugs. Margherita |

I have to agree with every other comment! WOW! What an impact. There is nothing that takes the place of genuine love, and those fortunate enough to still have it long term. Just perfect! Klassy |
