I believe In the promise of yesterday The reflection of tomorrow The precipice of your pouty lips The sheer of your jagged hips Eternity blinds the depths Of pain's echoing eclipse I forgot Why the sun never lies Silence washing over me Like warm chestnut eyes A whisper of winter Swirled in your touch A fall to remember A contour to clutch I watch To hear your sweet name The leer of your tipped chair The saunter of sideways hair Throw around legs Curled naked feet Tapping the open perfumed air I felt The fingernails of your fire Midnight's moaning barbwire Teeth baring shadow lit drapes Lust found in fogged disgrace The night forever broke Love's glass embrace

Really like you way you miss her legs thrown around you and her curled feet. "Midniht's moaning barbware" is a clever analogy to the "fingertips of your fire." Many beautiful images, Xavier. Love and blessings for a happy Sunday. I nearly have "Cry" memorized. It touched me so much. Love, Carolyn
