Time Stood Still

All the flowers bloom 

when you walk into a room 

Your smile holds my breath 

The earth quakes beneath my feet 

I am forever entwined.

Oh dear Pat, this little piece of brevity is a knock out. It says so much about the love you have for your dearest. You are still truly smitten after all these years. Entwined you are forever. Beautiful and heartwarming to read. May you have many, many days of happiness together.

dearest Chris... I discovered Roger in 1987 at a Country Western dance at Bronco Billy's when our Office had a Birthday Part in one secluded corner of the huge wooden dance floor. I asked Roger if he would like to dance, and he said, "Not unless they play "Because of you, God made Oklahoma. I returned to my corner and pondered my dilemma. I promptly asked the Band to play that Song. We have been Partners since that night. He supports my rhymes and wears the Coolest pair of Tecovas Cowboy Boots when he sings for his dinner. Thank you Chris for your endearing review. Beholding to you. Tenderly, Pat

Thank you Chris... many "tumbleweeds" have crossed our path; however, we seem to believe in destiny and the Joy of living on a Trail that was made for singing and dancing on Ships where Oceans meet and Love remains a Mystery. truly, Pat

A Tanka dedicated to my lover
who gives me treasures from the earth
and freedom to sing songs at twilight...
