• Mmm, what a break. What-A-BREAK!   Could you believe where I am right now?  With my honey, ALONE, in a king-sized water bed, in a house boat, rocking ever so gently on the marina in Richardson Bay.   The cold gray fog sprays our one porthole window with silvery mist as the ferries sound their glass bottle honks.   The paneled walls sport maritime prints, macrame hangings, driftwood and sea shell sculptures, and there's even a battery-powered lighthouse table lamp, shining through our half-filled wine goblets like a brilliant sunset, like eager full lips, kissed ruby red.   Mmm, snuggle deeper into the rich satin and velvet bedding.   Bury ye heads into the plump pillows of down, hollowing like sails.   Feel warm and protected while the wind whips thee about, unable to loosen thee from thine anchor of love.   Entwine, whisper, enrapture, sleep, dream, endure.

  
  

  your heart is like the low thunder of hooves (no, my sleigh scuttering over the rocky snow as my reindeer rally to the whip).   then the rudder of your viking ship, beating back the current as we're carried out from the cold.  if i immortalized you, would you love me Forever?  set my hand to this nib, as you might to this ring.  paint you as a young prince in battle, your father's only son.  golden boy.  naked and proud, you shall lead the march.  in your victory i shall be your reward, the little dark one, and equally proud.......we journey to the wooded king's mountain, to the gushing crystal springs.  there flows water for all the tea in china.  (huh?)  tea in china.  look.  on the high causeway the great wall of china winds around.  new and ornate, then greatest of the great unknown......
