just a little sweet-talk, written today for my sweetheart of 30+ years (and you, too, of course)

-----

My eyes hold a dream of you

dancing in salt spray

digging toes in the sandy

floor of my memory

-

Gulls rise up around you

like retreating snowflakes

and your lips are warm

and salty like the sea

-

Your breasts are waves

rearing upon the far ocean

your embrace heavy and dark

clouds promising of rain

-

The air of your mouth

is a wind which carries away

the sound and the furies

of sea foam and love making

-

Such that it is

have I known you

such is the dream of you

held in my eyes

Gayla, Gayla Gayla :-)

Happy Valentine's to you and all FRLians.

(((((Rob, Lon))))) Both of you have touched my life with your beautiful writing. It's a gift I'll treasure always.

((((Gayla, Rob, Lon)))) and to all other FRLians ((((you))))!

I really ought to be out working tonight, and here I am instead... your writing draws me.

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day (and night!) with your Valentine of choice, this year and always!

A belated but never the less deeply felt and sincere HAPPY St. VALENTINE'S DAY to one and all. I do hope that it passed at least as well as you had hoped that it would for you and for all of your families as well.

Especially to you Ms. Gayla.

You bring a little extra special light into all of our lives with your charm, and your outstanding sense of humor and wit seems to lift the load that we all carry with us each day. The road becomes less bumpy when we have friends such as you around us.

You really are a very special lady.
