stuanch words
I dont listen
your eyes directing
hand on my arm

let me just be
holding on to echos
in the sequence

rival glory link of dream
slip beneath the darkness
and Im anchored fast
grounded with this

we birthed drama through
fire  We mixed in stream
of hot and laughed through
flames

and in the touch the sparks
rise like a fast evening

fast evening, but slow

fast evening, but slow hands... ;-) ~ The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

limp

dragging that history chained around one length it slows me when the thunder rolls and the sunshine suspense glints like sharp teeth these glamour rainbows only glow against the dark its only fair to say that sitting all alone is where this ends the fold of us creased like a cheap paper heart smelling of time and empty kisses

Oh you tickle my imagination with a touch on my arm

Ann of Norway Oh you tickle my imagination with a touch on my arm this I loved to ponder and translate for myself and found at each session I had created another totally different one, and so on, as you jog our minds from stupor into the light of the now and the colours and flavours of you mind, with a teaspoon of sugar make us dance, yes we dance for you here in the swing of it all. Dear Steven.
