Gotcha

our legs entwine into a twister your hands run through my hair morning play before we end this day so I got... got how do you know is it the happy rejoice in my voice "HELLO!" "HELLO!" or by way I press tight into your chest listening to your heart sing or is it my plea of baby come close confidence in your reply come get me © 2010 Lepadah All rights reserved Reproduction of any materials without permission is strictly prohibited.

This is a good piece but has a shortness that loses the reader someplace between lover and child needs a few more words from its maker to be better, Yours Ian.T

Thanks Ian I realize the shortness of this one. It was the moment a quick one and response to a personal friend. I totally agree with your critique. Peace Lepadah

I have to agree with Ian

This lacks your usual *zing*. You lost me with the singing heart, which somehow seemed a little too sentimental. Maybe you'll rework this. I do love getting got and could use a flashback.
