ahhhhhhhhh
my kind of lyrical succinct passion.flower
the swoon of lilting beauty and feminine power.
how sta[men]s do re.act. . ..
bend and go sticky.
such a velvet violation of gentleness youve penned.
so purple and pure; pleasurable poetry
and the small little vignettes of images.
mmmhmm

LOVELY, Gene, and so much more than just one-posting's worth. I'm so glad you/we got to savour this scent and sentiment again... I very much like your style here: quite different in it's lyricism to your usual lingo, methinks. Encore une fois, s'il vous plait.... Kate xx

A woman has been compared to a flower countless times, but to compare the flower to her is just ... stunning and delightful. This appeals to me on so many levels, Gene, but the pure romanticism strikes at my heart. It reminds me, too, of a favorite quote "Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that crushes it"...Mark Twain. A delight to read ~ Elizabeth
