Listen

Written in 1988, published in the World of Poetry Anthology, 1991.. my one and only published work..

Listen... Hear the wind sigh through the trees. Shhh... it tells of my lover yet it teases. I hear the rhythm but not the name never his name. Alone I hear it speak. It whispers of pleasures not yet known. Sweet tender caresses Kisses like wine that set my body on fire Forever burning. Please whisper it yet again The rhythm is enough to set a desire deep within me I want to caress, touch, love. I want to strive to reach that one moment of ecstasy, of everlasting joy Together with him who's name is on the wind. Soon he will come. Until then — I wait alone. And listen.

well there it is.. my only published work.. such as it was.. i like to think ive grown up a bit since then.. who knows.. some would tell you i havent and they may be right.. *shrugs* oh and the grand anthology.. i was on page 1362 with 15 other entries.. all in ittle bitty type.. *laffin*
