Sage Sweetwater, unrivaled, bringing you the Upper Tier in lesbian erotica...Sage Sweetwater, the exceptional ARTIST of literary lesbian poetic prose...


the wind was
heavy with the scent
of obedience to God,
my horse stepped with
a shiver of fear, my breath
strong of the day's saloon beer,
we stumbled upon her in the scripture
of a loose dirt clod, there she was, in a
burrow woven in the willows, in a sacred
anointing in the wilderness, myrhh, aloes,
cassia, frankincense, Rose of Sharon,

"To the one we
are the smell of death;
to the other, the fragrance
of life," she spoke, predilection
for her sexual liking of women.
"Would you be so kind to take
off your spurs and bend to anoint
my feet? balm blesses - you good
samaritan woman, what say you to
what lies underneath buckskin dresses?"

"Pussy." I tipped my
hat, "Call to the Spirit when
we f***" - I pulled a quill from
my beaded tresses, handed her an
inkwell bundled in parchment from inside
my bedroll - "just write Sagebrush Truth on
the back of this playing card and we'll get on
with it - my religion is anointed with Whiskey
and Sagebrush Truth in Eights & Aces"...

she pulled out a
crock booze jug and
a well-worn gun butt,
"bootlegger camp upstream,"
I, the firebrand, a firm believer
in sleeping in haystacks, about to
be escorted between a tumbleweed
whiskey-runner woman lover's legs,

I was advised
of her by telegram,
pursued her across the
badass land - an admirer
of the firebrand, she sent me
the telegram, on and on flew the
dots and dashes at the speed of
lightning - the trill of metallic and labial
pulsations - "Would you be so kind to take
off your spurs and bend to anoint my feet?
balm blesses - you good samaritan woman,
what say you to what lies underneath buckskin
dresses?" she ordered it repeated back,

"I am prepared to find you
a church in Cripple Creek"...
I ordered it repeated back,

A ghostly rider
saddled upon the
wind, the scent of myrhh,
aloes, cassia, frankincense,
Rose of Sharon, angelic chords
from a church organ and Marshall Tucker...

Whiskey and Sagebrush Truth
in Eights & Aces...

I...

Marshall Tucker and Cripple Creek. I believe that was a hit by "the band" probably sometime in the late sixties. I liked this line of warning, "would you be so kind to take off your spurs." Lady Sage, your words ring of dust ball overtones and tumbleweed sometime in the early to late 1800's. Areal cowboy, excuse me, cowgirl feel of enlightenment if you will. Much to say of the open trail. Tim

Another striking unique only to Sagebrush write that intriques and erotizes at the same time,your sense of biblical interaction with sensuality in the female relationships is sweet to say the least...I love these.

Sage,

Love the way you write. Such imagery and memorable lines: excellent! My favorites:

"horse stepped with a shiver of fear" and "about to be escorted between a tumbleweed whiskey runner woman lover's legs" (bet you went willingly! LOL).

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
