In isolation she waits  

Our critical appointment

To mutually refresh

Love’s fervent desire

I love how you can say so much, in only 4 lines. The message is beautiful.

Oh Phillip, to give up or agree to forgo to the power or possession of another is not easy.. Love as the predicate.....it makes us fresh again. I loved your dodoitsu. dear friend, where are you? gandr�

I have learned something new. As for the writing, anticipation is the small flame that kindles the fire of desire.
