He: (JT Honestly)
May our nature be one voice 
When creation is at rest 
May you on that night rejoice 
When I hold your supple breast 
So come fly away with me 
For a night to finally 
Be free in ecstasy 
When I make the blue jay sing 

She: (Eileen)
Yes, the blue jay sings
As your lying here with me
Nothing but this moment now
Nowhere else I’d rather be
All the world is hushed and still
As you hold me through the night
Making sure I know I’m loved
All the way to morning light!!

A Second Collaboration between JT Honestly and Eileen Manassian
Our first collaboration was entitled Mental Tattoo

Hello, David. Yes...that's the honest truth. He sent me his stanza. I sent him my stanza. In the same mail I asked if he wanted to do more, and if not....to post it. He felt it was done...and the rest is history. Our first collab is the same. Two stanzas...short and sweet....a lovely treat. Mental Tattoo..I'll share the link if you like. Thanks for the lovely post. Hugs

We have collabed before. One soup mail to each person and the piece was done. I'm glad you liked this romantic sensual piece.
