I want to feel magic, like silk in my hands.I want to escape pain, I walk holy lands.I want to feel passion, kisses etched in the sky.I want to melt like chocolate, let my tears tell you why.I want missing decades to stir me to cry.I want to hold you in deep wells of my heart.I want new pages; I want a new start. … [Read more...] about On Gossamer Wings, By: Teri Dourmashkin
