Roses

Roses lying naked strike the contrast of your skin... I begin: Hesitation flutters on bright wings of hope and hidden reefs; I navigate to dawn Touching whispers felt by eyeballs can you feel it? can you feel it? sifting from me there between us  define the term - real Interest building, waning, gaining some momentum, some inertia, jealousy and darker feelings roaring love is soaring can you feel it? I'm imploring ...and in this moment, know I'm sure: I love you, and my love is pure. Mark Burton Saturday, July 22nd, 3:52 A.M.
