Flame Turns To Embers

soft skin like honey

    a gentle caress like wind

        ...and so it begins


soft lips meet soft lips

    kisses enflame the passion

        ... passion engulfs us


two hearts beat as one

    with arms and legs entangled

       ... flame turns to embers

Hon, this poem intensifies the feelings of longing. How I wish we could all have such a love. Beautifully written dear. Made me tear up a bit. Love, Carolyn

smile -- this is sooo extremely passionate and well brushed my dear -- the type of painting which takes hold of ones Soul and upon a journies path amid the slow motions mesmerized within such images as this, a dreamful thought -- so very softly beautiful and a fave, just like you -- love, christopher ~
