There is no need to fight..

that which we cannot see
yet burn with consumption
there is no price tag
yet such as these ...
are never free

...off of my lips
magic is made here
between this plump flesh
an electricity
shared by two

breaths...
are meant to be stolen
gazes - to linger
love - to be found
....and lost

...the sweetest music
is meant to fall from lips
even if off key
and to be heard
by sensitive ears
taunting the very soul
in each of us


sup, from my cup
indulge upon the richest
yet sweetest, things in life
moments, all to soon pass
and visions sour

... your fingers with mine
and walk aside me
I will show you the things
life is worth living for...

....Open Your Eyes..
look straight ahead
...life awaits..

"there is no price tag yet such as these ... are never free" is my favourite line in this piece. Nice flow and feel throughout that left me with great mental images. Ciao, T/S

Empowering. You know it comforts me to know that women like you have daughters to raise :) I think if I'd had a mother with even HALF the empowerment you have I might have turned out better....
