The here and now of you and me, is all there is that matters now or ever after this IP: Logged

You have a great way of capturing subtle whispers of the heart and turning them into beautiful words. Its liberating to read them. You and Steve are already such beautiful sensitive people, but I think together you two are making more beautiful poetry than ever!! IP: Logged

But if you turn your attention to other things, it comes softly and sits on your shoulders... IP: Logged
