we merge ... I, rooted in your core grinding up as you press down, never deep enough supine, you on knees above, I reach up weaving my fingers through silken strands I guide your head gently down toward me, moondrops in your eyes sweet tresses fall between us as our mouths melt together tongues playing their own game, soft like bubblegum I swim up the river to your soul to that place indescribable, warm and dark we are so melded that I almost feel alone ... lonely but in the sense of being US, and one I could let go my spirit there ... without fear or regret or contemplation I could stay forever on those shores, in joy lost in our union and ethereal embrace but it is far, far too precious for those ends exquisite and rare for the sake of how momentary and blessed for the sake of how perfect how tenderly and passionately ... perfect. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Brian's Select 1, Any Form, Any Theme" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Judge & Sponsor. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Favorite Poem From Last Week" Poetry Contest, Lu Loo, Judge & Sponsor.

You have a romantic arsenal to woo an Asian lady with Greg. This is provacative in the lovliest way. I too saw myself having an Asian baby and that happenend thirty three years ago. I loved this beautiful poem my friend. xxoo : )

She is gorgeous and married to a handsome man who is Caucasian/Japanese. Thank you. I believe it is never too late to find love too. xxoo

Thank you so much, Connie, I greatly appreciate it! I have three kids, all over thirty now, (yikes! Five grandchildren, one great-grandson, too), from two marriages, both failed, but I still believe I will end life with an Asian woman ... we're never too old for love, I don't believe. Congrats - yours must be so beautiful - the blend of Caucasian and Asian makes for such gorgeous progeny, I think! Blessings! :-) <3

This is so beautiful. No one could have written tis wonderful story any better. I love this. You asked about me not posting much at the moment. Thank you for that. I am perfectly fine. But we have finally received our container with our belongings in Spain. Unpacking boxes and sorting thousands of books. Kind regards, Kai

A new lady friend?? SWEET!!! That is awesome, Buddy - if I could be so lucky! I know there's one "out there", (and that it will happen when it's supposed to ... or not), and that she's oriental, ha! I dreamed as a child that I would marry an Asian women ... and I am quite fond of such. Blessings, Brother - I am happy for you! :-D

This one came pretty quickly, Jannie ... though that isn't always the norm, the better ones DO happen that way, (or many of them anyway). I don't think those are from "us", but rather without, and it's cool to be used that way by the Creative Conscience, (or whatever "IT" is - I've yet to conclude, lol). Blessings! :-)
