Fools Overture

How many ways Can I say to you? With words Or silence The towns square clown seeking your affections Coldness or warmth Open your loins of desire Bare your heart Let me whisper As I enter into you I am you You are me Entwined In the prison of freedom The poison of love The potion of eternal youth Let me taste your lips Suckle upon breast Life Lust Love My hand like a surgeon Inside your heart Mending broken wings You, with no mask Me with no words Silence becomes the tomb Of our love

Arthur, let me say irst it is good to have you back on the site again, I missed reading your work, enjoyed this work of passion, to whom you write about is one lucky lady, love the part about you being the surgeon and mending the broken wings, so well expressed in this love emtional poem of yours. Thank you also for your comment on the snow stardust poem. I wrote that when a friend asked me to describe snow in words, if I never experienced it before. So Arthur did I get it right my friend. cheri
