Ballare...


(Oil on canvas 22" X 28") (Painted 9/27/08)




Raindrops outside the window...
The smell of you.
The touch of your hands on my body...
As you pull me close in your embrace.
Your sighs of longing as we kiss...
The gentleness, the tenderness...
Of your lips on my skin.
The way you look at me...
The way you make me feel...
Beautiful.
The way you wake in the night...
To glance my way...
And reach out and touch and feel me there next to you.
To hold me close and caress.
To hold my hand...
In yours...
You make me whole.
The innocence of our meeting...
The guileless encounter...
Make me whole.
My refuge from subterfuge and game playing...
You make me whole.
The simplicity of us...
Make me whole.
The comfort of you, of us...
Make me whole.

Unintentional??? Me thinks the lady doth protest too much... ;) (hint...hint...)

Yes it is part of the sari... or shall we say the sari is a part of me! I am a feline remember....

So what is your interpretation?
