This Night So Soft

This night so soft, like warm cashmere,
I touch your face; you are so near!
You kiss me sweetly; in my ear
you whisper words that are sincere.
I pray the moon won't disappear.
Please - Make this last forever, Dear!

Nice, romantic poetry! My mother once ran for office and lost. Politics can be a wicked and tough game. I collect postcards by the way and write a monthly column for Barr's Post News. I am going to a reading this Saturday and the guy who runs it puts out a publication you can submit to if you want to. It is called Nomad's Choir. Peace & love Matthew Anish

You are in love, I fear. Been having computer problems, but the technician came out and put in a mew modum, so I'm set for awhile. This tender jewel just has to be a winner. Love, daver
