Shut Up and Read

Just shut up and read You know what you say Can never compare With what you write… Shut up and Read Your written words Are the power socket That with wet hands I touch Electrified to the core Shut up and Read The foreplay begins As your words bring to life The passion you’ve penned The melting begins My heart in a flurry The tingling starting Shut up and read Oh dear, oh dear, Now shut up...stop reading Reach out to me Quick Gather me in You’ve earned what you seek My hot breath on your cheek My lips quiet the words... Take me in Shut up, SHUT UP!!!! Let lovemaking begin Eileen Manassian Ghali

OH RICHARD...REALLY? If you only get past that bit of Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare (yea, had to look it up!) ;) you MUST have some other charm that is doing the trick! ;) BTW...be careful which of his sonnets you quote...Rumor has it that some of those were written for a young man! ;)

Well, of course I've tried it, never got passed, 'Shall I compare thee to a summe', before the poetry is out the window lol

;) I don't know...I hope it isn't offensive...I'm just trying to say that words.....written words are powerful! A new twist to..."The pen is mightier than the sword."....quote! Oh dear....don't know how to expound on that one, but I do hope no one is offended. Hugs!
