Dawn

My love awakens me with playful purrs, with kitty licks and padded paws -- we are never far from our primitives, to know the world by touch, and God through tactile mystery, replicating senses till soaring -- Oh, one can philosophize and theologize! or one can cling to the moment~ lips diving, arms like vulture wings enfolding, love’s cooing triggering a salivating, primal response – Coffee can wait!

Love expressed from many forms Joe, we Often neglect that which we have not Predisposed ourselves to.? Which does Leave us lacking, when we try to approach The very love we might be focused uoon.? And spontenaity is lacking.'

Thoughtful, perceptive comment, Joe. Each of us so different, different natures that predispose us to certain, individualized behavior. And many of us having very different ideas about the same topics or vocations. I cannot imagine being a poet without being overly romantic, passion driven in all that I do -- spontaneity and life worth living, inseparable in my opinion. I trust the relationship I have with God. Trust in His applauds and boos. And live by His heartfelt eternal echoes. Thank you my friend.

So very romantic and playful at the same time. Indeed a great bond.... renewed with each day. I am sure you keep up the zest of the sacred union of man and wife. Lovely way of conveying your fond feelings for your partner.

Thank you, Valsa; while very independent, strong personalities, we are inseparable in some ways -- our love for each other, and for God.
