To tell you the truth; I get my Mum to help me with the long words.

That's lovely

snug in my tent
on a spring morning,
a day of adventure looming,
lambs gambolling in fields nearby
full of the joys of youth, so free

There is a place I'd love to be
grass under my feet
the wind in my hair
on a mountain top
gazing with the sun on my back
and in the distance a glint of the sea

There is a place I'd love to be
golden leaves filling the air
that I breathe as I amble
beside the sparkling leaping river
listening to the dipper
singing away in a joyful key

There is a place I long to be
Not here, but anywhere
where he is,
my head nestled under his chin
in that place that fits
as though made just for me

It was a good laugh. I am off to bed but Herakles...love your new raunchy stuff! DT, good to hear you arrived safely and Freckle, hope you have a peaceful night tonight and no more mishaps! Sleep well all. Night night.x

Tempting me to come forward,
And end my distant vigil,
Your lips scarlet and shimmering,
Beckoning me forward with,
A slow seductive tracing,
Of your teeth with your tongue,
I am smitten the fever dreams,
Of your soft cappuccino skin,
Sweaty and next to mine,
Overcome me,
I am in your thrall.

stef this is awesome, particularly like the last three lines...............sigh

She loves me.

She loves me,
She loves me,
The sky is blue,
Birds sing and flowers bloom,
And all the cliches,
That love brings,
She loves me.

Yeh its that knitted Simon Cowell, I mean what has he got against wingless ducks :mad::rolleyes::D

GASOLINE
Shivering in the almost-drizzle
inside the wooden outboard,
nose over gunwale,
I watched it drip and spread
on the sheenless water:
the brightest thing in wartime,
a slick of rainbow,
ephemeral as insect wings,
green, blue, red, and pink,
my shimmering private sideshow.
Was this my best toy, then?
This toxic smudge, this overspill
from a sloppy gascan filled
with essence of danger?
I knew that it was poison,
its beauty an illusion:
I could spell flammable.
But still, I loved the smell:
so alien, a whiff
of starstuff.
I would have liked to drink it,
inhale its iridescence.
As if I could.
That's how gods lived: as if.

Margaret Atwood
