Walking past each other and just by chance
My heart skips a beat and my knees turn weak
Your eyes lock with mine in a fleeting glance
In a ricochet of emotion I just cannot speak

Happy 68th birthday MaryAnn Sage - revisited January 12th, 2021

Wherever you might be holed up
within this whirled wide web wassup?

whose Lake Wobegon nestled within fjord

What's the Norm? (for Contest)

Precious moments 
you've gotta steal
Cyber love 
it's for real

feelings deep
you've never met
owning your mind
can't forget

Online talks
Friendship sought
Innocent enough

I've been here before
life turned upside down

can't help it 
somehow we just...

What is this thing called Love?
Does it fall from heaven above?
To  burrow in an unsuspecting heart.
Making the owner awake with a start.

Without gravity
there would be no fallen angels
the something that always
pulls me back to you
love at first sight

If you were my lover
What would I say?
What would it be like
Day after day?
Would we be happy
Loving and carefree:
Living in bliss
Oh so happily?
Would we make love
With passion and fire:
Would mutual attraction
Fuel our desire?
Would our friends...

obviated thoughts of sexual satisfaction.

For so long being together sharing time
was enough, and in retrospect sublime;
beyond that...

In all honesty.
I think what I truly desired was to be put on a plate.
And be devoured piece by piece.
My attention, all my free time.
Everything that no one else could see.
With knife and fork.
