In secret, I watched the waters of a lonely lake gesturing
to a beautiful woman sitting upon its banks to touch its ripples with her painted toes.
If only I were one of the stones lying alongside such meekness, then how privileged I would be to feel her
tender footsteps upon my heart.
With sheer beauty, she bore the
curves of a flower gently bending upon a stem under the golden rays of a
heavenly sunshine encircling the human heart with elegance and warmth.
As I stared at her from my hiding
place among the hanging branches of a fruitful tree, I could not help but feel
the kind of passion that gives a man the strength to love such a woman with joyful
tears.
In those seconds, she became
the bride of my heart, for this was the one aspiration I could never dream in a
thousand dreams, but was privileged to view in a moment that came and passed
away.
She is the goddess of fantasy
that every man sees behind closed eyes, but to me, she is the ultimate reality I
witnessed blessing the waters of a lonely lake with her painted toes.

I know, Andy, but I'm still waiting for the one who I thought was my true love to come back or the real one to appear. :)
DeleteHope you are having a fantastic weekend!
Dearest Rachel,
DeleteTrue love will never walk away my friend. Sometimes we can have love....but that does not mean it is unconditional love. Foolish is that man who walked away from a beautiful woman like you. At least you know now that his love did not match the faithfulness of yours (smile).
What a wonderful,charming and mesmerizing fantasy Andy. You create pure magic with words !

Hi Andy!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, do you know your blog doesn't link to your e-mail in your profile? They all come up 'no reply'. Just thought you'd want to know!
Gosh.
Thoughts on being a Goddess.
I think that would be Grand.
I've always been such a tomboy, I think I would be unsure how to react to that reaction!
A glorious share as always from the master of romance!
Thank you.
A+
My dear Jenny,
DeleteAs always, you make me smile from deep within with your kind words. I am touched by your sentiments, my dear friend.
Thank you for telling me about my email. Not sure what the issue is because I'm receiving emails on a regular basis. I am wondering if perhaps I input it incorrectly when I linked up to Alphabe-Thursday this week? I don't have it showing in my Blogger profile due to spammers. I will email you to make sure it's working ok.
