She checked the time, 11 :59, then heard a tap at her door. She hopped up, Could it be Love? One day I met Nigon "Never more," spoke a voice, "Love doesn't Ii ve here any more." And we shared our hopes and dreams. Then who are you? Creeping through, "I'm watching you," From that day on I knew he was no ordinary man She heard a whisper. And after that day on I was searching for what was real Hair stood erect on her neck, it tingled her spine to her waist Aroused her senses, touched on all her dimensions, even her taste in the world; Silent symphonies struck chords, seductive, chimed Grandfather Time Running and searching for the truth of -things, the It has passed 60 seconds more, then a wrap at door. heart that She checked, but found no answer to enhance her.

Arose she victorious, Like the power that lies within a word Aroused by sunshine and blue, skyless clouds And the purity that consecrates a beautiful-man . She began to leave, in search of peace and a new Lease But then a sudden unease, as again the ghost began to creep through It was that day that I found what God intended love to ''I'm peeping you," it began to implore. be • Spoke she softly to it and closed behind her the door.
