Night arrives after a long day
I just want to be covered by your breath
but the rain will have to do

Yes, but only after you gargle.
Seriously though, this says so much in so few words. I love it.
It’s actually raining here in AZ and I am loving it.

And again, my response to one of your poems is – simply – Oh, my lord…….
Puts me in mind of a line from one of my favourite songs by Paulo Nutini – ahhhh – Paulo….sigh…..
“I turn to you and inhale you where you lay…”

Hello again
I’d like to post this poem on my blog ..http://www.spanglefish.com/berniesblog/blog.asp
but it won’t let me include your rain picture – I have no idea why – the ways of t’Internet are ever a mystery to me.
Would that be ok with you – the poem, without the image?
Another line in Paulo’s song which makes me melt is …. ‘In love I was created and in love is how I hope I die.’
Oh yes!
