He created her, loving her before she had form. Shaping her lips, to kiss. Forming her cheeks, to flush. He worked his hands over the crude clay assembling her as she was in his mind, defect-less. Burning with excitement, he worked frenetically. Budding breasts, to touch upon. Molding curves, to absorb the attention of mankind. Casting eyes, to look upon him fondly. She was complete, minus a beating heart to love him, except breath to whisper his name.Back to top

Revisions/suggested changes by a fan, friend and not to mention, an ace writer:
ReplyDeleteHe conjured her in his mind, loving her before she had form. He stood in front of the clay, praying that his hands had the strength to bring her into being. And so he began work: shaping her lips, to kiss; forming her cheeks, to blush; cupping her budding breasts, to touch; navigating her voluptuous curves, to captivate the attention of mankind; casting eyes, to look upon him fondly. Burning with excitement, he worked feverishly well into the night. Just before the break of day, he stood back and took her in for the first time. She was nearly complete, she lacked only a beating heart to love him, and breath to whisper his name. And so, he gave her his.
I am proud that you count me as one of your friends.
