a tapestry, tenterhooked to a gilt-frame, you hold me, squarely, with Egyptian eyes, i could feel my blood, become the Nile, a deluge lapping its broken shoreline, washing its silt and grit against ancient-faced rocks, will you descend from the cliff of your daring hands, weave me into the stitches of imagination, hallowed from a plaintive memory, that'll paint me to sleep, like driftwood, by the river-side, that lines the hems of your eyes
the subject looks at a tapestry that evokes feelings and sentiments - the subject is wondering how he/she could be a part in the story depicted in the tapestry

Love through the ages....with the one that is "meant to be". I liked the references to ancient Egypt. A love like that weaves a beautiful tapestry. Wonderful. Lyd**

thank you so much, lydia, for the review and visit :)
throughout time...ages....love remains a tapestry sewing together hearts...
i felt Carole King vibes as i was reading this...and "feeling the earth move under my feet" and all those ancient pharaohs, with mummified hearts coming back to life...for their princesses...
