light takes a slight break
high stakes step lightly as the
light breaks on streetscapes
high as kites we skate home
where we sip soft kisses
love spills and slips from lips
we sink into the sofa cushions
if you could only feel me now.

  2. You only half get it?!? I love the onomatopoeia - unpronounceable but playable in music...

  4. You set up the rhythm in the opening lines ~ I am loving the sounds and then the sinking into cushions ~ I say, go with the flow, smiles ~

  5. ha. nice scat that breaks into a wicked pace in the true stanza....the last line on feeling me now hints at a much larger story to me....

  6. onomatopoeia
    See what you made me do? I had to yet again check the spelling of this devilish word :-)
    Nice concoction. And me too: not quite get it.
