It’s that quiet time
Those moments I try so
Desperately to avoid
My peace of mind
Destroyed by
That late night silence
When I can’t stop my brain
From screaming
Train track loudly
That I miss you….

Trying to clear my head
I slip out of bed and into
Black leather cool
Against my skin
Out into the dark my
Footsteps echoing down
Cracked concrete
Closing in fast
On a neon lighted
Freeway where so
Many cars speed
Their passing need
To get nowhere fast …

Almost a year has past
Since I first met your eyes
My confident disguise
Dropped within an hour
Washed away in a
Shower of rain
Melting our defenses
Sharpening our
Senses
Parceling out
Pieces of me in
Exchange for
Pieces of you …

Subsequent
Countless nights
Two spoons fitted
Nightly wrapped
Tightly meshed
Slick satin
Warm breath
On my shoulder
Turning over and
Discovering the
Undiscovered
Rich treasures
Bared
Pleasures
Shared

So hard to keep my
Mind from churning
These memories burning
Through my
Deliberate
Detachment a
Disengagement born
Out of necessity
A need to keep my sanity
My emotional
Survival at stake
Thoughts of you
Threaten to
Overtake
And break me …

Refusing to give ground
I shut myself down
Walking away
Refusing to stay
And think of you…

It’s a clear case
Of fight or flight
And tonight I’m
Running
As fast…
…as I can…

"Hey lady, did you call a cab?"

<------- to the rescue (Told ya I'd never let ya crash!)

You've got a fast car

"I'm your vehicle baby, I'll take ya anywhere ya wanna go, I'm your vehicle woman, by now I'm sure you know, that I love, need ya, want ya, got to have ya girl, Great God in Heaven ya know I love ya!"

Uh, Ken? I know that song very well. What does THAT say? blimey....

ummmmmm........ that we were meant for each other?

All the way to Hollywood baby! Gonna make you a star..... I should say, gonna deliver a star.... I've got an autograph comin!

BTW.....

This was a really great write! I loved the way you seductively pulled everyone in, then gave them a their macho wanting to protect the heroine, who in the end made the right choice on her own. Everyone stands and cheers..... Good stuff!

And here you are...... the starlet! Take your bows girl!

There is life after heartbreak! It takes courage after a fall.

U ROK!

<<---curtesying

Beautifully written, absolutely felt, been there done that and still my brain screams, "remember, the crappy parts of that you/(and him) who no longer is/are!" Well --- could he minuet, dammit, could he?

Cold leather and snuggly memories ------ ooooo, honey, not a good combo ----You is one strrrrong woman! (sorry, I digress------a lot!)


Yess, I cheer the heroine because she deserves and will one day have


so


much


more


than a spoon-ful. She smiles and does not believe me, but I know one day, one fine day my contented Wiz O'the Whisp will have more than she ever dreamed!

Do we ever get rid of those memories WW? Do we put them in perspective and ever see them for what they really are? Or do they always look better when dragging behind us like the proverbial ball and chain?

You are so wonderful....thank you for these loving words~

the longing may always linger but the strength to know what is best for you will lead you to the magic of which you write- and it will last for more than stolen moments, for you deserve a lifetime.

"Do we ever get rid of those memories WW? Do we put them in perspective and ever see them for what they really are? Or do they always look better when dragging behind us like the proverbial ball and chain?"

Get rid of them? No, I don't think we do. Put them in perspective and see them for what they really are? Yes, that, I know first hand, is possible. Basically, here's the concept - the hugable, holdable, mmmmmm so happy to be near you type feelings we get really and truly do belong to the feeler, not the "believed cause". It took me a long time to realize and accept I truly was the true cause all along.

As this flight of non-understanding takes off,, remember the moments that filled you with laughter
the awe-awaking touch that filled your soul,,,
within these memories you grow, you search and you
discover you are so worthy of a love that flows gracefully upon the canvas enter-twing two spirits
unconditionally blending motion as one...

Thank you my lovely friend~we all deserve that! Mucho love to you darling...


My WonderfulWench, You are truly an anchor of sanity. Are you aware how special you are?

Oh Denise, I always carry glorious memories with me... they are just so many pieces in the puzzles of our lives....
