you say you love <br />you say you want to make love <br />tonight or early morning <br />you propose it like a theory of the universe <br />over a cup of tea <br />you extend a hand to hold another hand <br />you tempt about luscious desire <br />something so sweet <br />and juicy and warm <br />you hear nothing <br />a hand sets aside another hand <br />unable to hold <br />nothing is spoken <br />you hear footsteps leaving <br />no hand waving <br />you get the point of what is indifference <br />no one's intent to hurt <br />just that there is nothing taken and there is nothing given<br /><br />RIC S.
