Ok, so it's been awhile since I updated, so I want to put something up. But first I'd like to thank you all for commenting on the last three.

Violette, FelicityS, and SlowlyEyeFade:

I'm sorry to respond to you all at the same time, it's extremely rude considering what excellent comments you all gave me, but my work schedule is merciless and I've just been exhausted lately.

I'm so glad that you guys comment, and that my poems have an affect on you, it's always hard to find what to say without repeating myself. But I don't want any of you to ever doubt how much it means to me, really. It means a lot. Thank you so much...

And Uriel - Yukio:

Jesus man, you always manage to leave me feeling undeserving of such flattery...

I've always enjoyed reading your poems and I've always been surprised by the amount of encouragement that I receive from you.

You're the shit.

That's pretty crude, but it's the best I can say.

Thanks man.

Now I suppose I should put something else up.

I hope you all like it, and as always, thanks for reading.

Sweetest Moment:

You catch my sidelong glance, and smile,
Ever so slightly.
You are looking intently at my face.
Can you see what I am thinking?

I move the slightest bit.
Carefully, and slowly...

[Skipping through the tall grass of the field]
[And laughing]
[Your eyes sparkling]
[Cautiously, I follow you]
[You come back to me, breathless]
[Your sun-sweat smell nearly overpowering me]
[Watching you in the grass, I am nearly overcome]

I can think of nothing but you.

I can't see anything but you.

I'm so overjoyed to be with you.

Filled with satisfaction,
'Cause I'm near you.

Lying in the afternoon shadows,
We speak warmly, of our fondest memories.
And time races past, and the day goes on.
Unending, and unfettered, from the rest of the universe.

Looking back on this,
I know I'll always feel, how warm the sun felt on my skin.
I know I'll always smell, your sweet smell, your familiar fragrance.
I know I'll always feel, how your touch, fixed so much.
And made life better for me.
And I know I'll always cherish this, time...
When I was complete.

[Skipping through the tall grass of the field, and laughing]
[Your eyes sparkling]
[Helplessly, I follow you]
[You look back to me, breathless]
[Your sun-sweet smile overpowering me]
[Watching you in the grass, I am nearly overcome]
