A poem about an enigma.

I know a woman She breathes cold mountain air Her soul soars to the heavens And mingles with Secret, divine energy there Hard won peace is hers And she dares not leave it She protects her realm From possible harm Holding all conflict at bay With the length of her arm She has no one that she cares to please She spends her days telling tales And reporting all that she sees As she sees it All that she imagines as she explores the world Absorbing knowledge like a sponge She writes educated prose And produces extraordinary art with her words She is in a new world with each rising of the sun She experiences sex in amazing ways Damned resourceful She will make you feel like a fool And she can set your psyche ablaze With each carefully chosen word Healthy Lustful Adventurous It�s NEVER the same An addiction from which You can not be saved We have known one and the other For centuries From lifetime to lifetime We tend to persist Sometimes we wonder Why we keep revisiting this She loves only the OLD ways Buckboards and whorehouses Whiskey kegs Brokers of pledge Wild grown sage Black powder and anvils Life on the River Women loving each other In times when people would As soon kill you (For such an inclination) Than LET YOU LIVE PEACEFULLY Nurturing the essence that she Projects to BE Lay with me with your warmth Mingling with mine to make us whole Let me taste your smooth and exquisite skin Under my hot, seeking, velvet tongue Enjoy with me the centuries For which we seem doomed Or blessed Trust in my love for you And all that you pursue No question of my intentions Your scent makes me salivate Like a fiend Receiving a last meal on death row I want to taste you Slick. Gold. Blood. Always to go where we know No one else will ever go

Beautiful. A love poem. Cheers to you both - a poem that has me looking back fondly for a change! Women loving each other

In times when people would

As soon kill you

(For such an inclination)

Than LET YOU LIVE

PEACEFULLY

...and as for the not so fond memories - yes, but love wins! Nicky x

I am sitting here with you at Sage Sweetwater Creative Properties Howling Ridge Wolf Camp drinking a Milwaukee's Best Light beer...you know the one...the one when we have our intimate passion. I love you...those vows, the basic truth in my mind's eye, I feel you and I knew ourselves apart and together even way before we "met" at our one-room schoolhouse, and before the day's lesson began on the slateboard where Sleighty and Sweetwater set the example for wildwoman and firebrand, I brought in the wood to fire the stove that warmed the day's 3 R lessons, you skimmed ice from the community water drinking bucket, such gifted young women then...and now...under the pine tree tender kisses after we emptied our brown bag lunches...they eventually expelled us. Blue, you're the wildwoman in my heart...shhh...can you hear the elk bugle? I love you...I adore you baby...we go where "no one else will ever go"...I do trust in your love for me, love me the OLD way, okay?...I'm breathless...the red light is on...my arctic white wolves are howling at the moon...look at the moon tonight, Blue...
