today's dynamic duo/waste of good white space :) (gee, this is a lot easier than thinking of prose :)

one fresh from the oven...

at the beach
- halo, 29-07-02 , 18:57:24

the sun melted fiery into
dark waters and we
jostled and played,
spitting our sausages and
twirling wings over the
pit. the good smells
of barbecue roused my
stomach to growling,
and you heard it and
laughed.
i wanted to say something,
but i did not.
i will not see you again,
you won't be mine.
the moon rose in silver
streamers, scattering stars
in her wake.
we played the music so
loudly we thought we'd get
yelled at, but
no one came, and the night
was ours.
i wanted to take you aside,
hold you to me,
but i did not.
i will not see you again,
you were not mine.
as the night wore on the
fire died down and we
lay on our backs in
its dwindling warmth,
talking idly of dimensional
portals and the
inevitability of love.
i wanted to pull you to me,
and kiss you slow and soft,
but i did not.
i will not see you again,
you are not mine.

and one oldie but hopefully goodie :

Face
- halo, 11:33 PM, 9-6-98

i think about your face
i think about grace
i think about your kiss
i think about bliss
what force this sensuous heat
this pattern of scars
this satin swirl
what tender touch
what horrified face
such love such hate such lust
too deep too much
i feel
i feel you coming in the night
the moon glows cold and
sometimes i know
how ravens feel
when they take flight
it's nothing like the light
on winter snow
but still i feel
and tender kiss your tattered lace
and tear away
the masks that hide your face
