Us

I wanted this to last 

late night talks, laughter till noon 

the fascinating sense of time standing still 

whenever we appeared 

I need to remember 

you. 

for the rest of my days 

and endless nights, too 

we were like sugar and sassafras 

mischief and licorice sticks, 

obliviously entranced and mystically matched 

no one else mattered, not that we cared. 

for all we could see was  

us...

Wow Alisa!
I experienced that 'world shrinking' and being the only two in existence once - just once in my life (repeatedly when I was with this woman) and even though she and I are estranged now, I love, just love that I was able to experience it.
You nailed that feeling, that super-charged feel of being the only two in the world so well here.
Beautiful writing Alisa. Just beautiful !

Thank you, Tony...

I love that sensation, don't you? Of being the only two that matter, anywhere...

Wishing you well.

Alisa ;-)

This brings images of two young children holding hands frolicking through a daisy filled field entranced with the most sincere, innocent, wonderful kind of love. This is precious Alisa.

I know, I know...

It appears to be an obsession of mine, this incurable romantic heart.

;-)

Thank you, oh kind and talented one for sharing your thoughts.

ducks, you say?


hmmmmmmm...I will contemplate that topic.

catch up soon,

and thanks again...

Simply incurable. But over the years you have come into the breath of this romantic heart you own. If only I could talk you into writing about ducks, rooftops or the state of Illinois...but why would I want to do that. Another beautiful one.

[Alisa Js]

Thank you. ;-)

Beautiful, so inspiring. That's love. Unconditional, but not that blind. What is important is both of you love each other. Nothing matters but you.
