His life, while sad, in a thousand ways,

Not in the least Existential,
a living paradox.
You were of bars, of gambling, of women,
of song.
Money thrown in the wind for your own

So when she ate them,
they made her sneeze!
Sally hid them,

They scare away

Pulse.
Pulse.
Vibration.
Hips swaying.
I notice the edge of you.
Where you start.
Where I stop.
You are in me!
I shake with pleasure.
I hear your song in my ears.
I do a dance of desire for you.
The tube snake boogie.
Playing.
Happily.
On my iPod!

		<description><![CDATA[Sitting here in my second floor office, the sun shines so bright on the fresh snow of our porch roof that I can barely see my screen.  I squint, but still the heat of the sun on my shoulders feels good and so warm that I have to remove my housecoat from my shoulders.  Klein, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lauramoreland.wordpress.com&blog=3937170&post=189&subd=lauramoreland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In music the single note of a piano can haunt you.
The sound from one string of a bass can electrify.
The singer&#8217;s voice holds a note that enchants the evening.
But for the writer, 
can a single word ever haunt, electrify, enchant?
I&#8217;ve never found one.

My blood runs not just red but blue and gold.
From my Queen I came also Ban Righ
Strong as Barbara Paul,
with her around my throat a shield!
I joined NATO,
lived on foreign soil
taught the royal children how to live. 
But I have long returned,
and watched hometown,
blame my Queen,
for coming home.

innocently at first.
Then I caught a glimpse of you
I saw the passion
now
I long to be spread with you
like butter
on toast
melting you into me
Your passion smooth and warm
excited
Do you melt from habit?
I wonder
Or do you know that inside
of warm toast
there is a soft kneaded
artisan passion
that sustains, raises, breathes
is made for the warmth [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lauramoreland.wordpress.com&blog=3937170&post=149&subd=lauramoreland&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
