they sleep

Post by the mingo » May 8th, 2012, 2:04 am

it was in the night
she was animal-sleek in her flat shoes
a thick river of hair out her head
interested in any talk i might make
up on her toes leaning close...

the wild strawberries flower the same
way they did when i was young
and the decades gone on now
don't mean a thing to them

even when they sleep
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

yes
it is true
making due with intrigue when love keeps chasing you down... the fire escape worked well for me- once- now i try not to set them... :?: :idea: :arrow: :mrgreen:

as the silly sight of all the things that run thru this mind here as the rain falls and tenderly sends you the mists of creativity- as you be blessed- :arrow: :wink:
