Š2007 M. Bennett Hooper No one deals with the courage it takes to love But as for mine, walk with me and drink deeply a moment of your life. You who cannot see and seeing do not recognize that those among us Who are lusty also love the object of that lust. For we cannot love the object and repudiate the self that it is housed in. You think I want you only for your body it is true I want your body. Can you deny the joy I give you or can you deny and in denying deal with your fear The fear that you may want me rules or no rules. Walk with me and drink deeply a moment of your life. You say my desires are not that great but you think otherwise and in your fantasies I am you and you are me and we erupt, explode and are for a moment high on each other. You say that this is not enough did I ever say it was all Only that I have needs of you and you of me a few moments of your life and that when it is over And the moments only memories I love you. There will be times I find your touch repulsive your kisses too heavy for my soul to bear And yet denying desire them. Come and walk with me a few moments of your life. There is a void in my life that only you in a few precious moments fill A height we reach together that we cannot sustain alive but during those moments will die if needs be only to live for another moment in another time. Come and walk with me a few moments of your life. You say Im selling my soul and you will not sell yours I say how can I sell that which is immortal Know me and know my love A few moments of your life.

Mikii, like Karen, I read this one a couple times and enjoyed it each time. Sharing your soul is all you can do, we cannot give away that which does not belong to us to begin with.
Take care,

Walt

Know me and love me, do it a few moment of your life. Just a few moments of your life. Don't we all? then again...
True friends and true lovers are as rare as witnessing a supernova lighting the skies, yet, we still look up...with hope.
Nice done Mikii.
