Needle In The Haystack

A Poem by redzone

... L.A where are you???

Needle In the Haystack

“Maybe I should go”, she said.

No, stay.

I love the way your words

live in the moment

and each comes with a smile.

The moon smiles at times,

its beams bounce

and flow through my window,

highlighting your silky skin

as you lay in my bed.

“I should go now

before it gets too late”, she said

while cuddling closer in my chest.

Please stay, I love the way

your hair tickles my skin.

As the night moved toward dawn,

and the moon began to fade,

you went away, but

your scent remained on the sheets

and wrapped around my heart.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! This is the ultimate of simple tender intimacy. I could learn a thing or two from you about painting such a scene in the book I'm working on. In fact, I'm stealing the idea about saying one should go while acting like one who plans to stay! *wink! wink!* You are such a lover! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

"your love remained in the sheets/ wrapped around my heart"---
sweet lines...I was reading this humming an old Ides of March song...
