American Girl'sValentine's Day Match Up.

Hi ugapeach,
Following is one of my favorite love poems, which is written by Miller Williams. Read it through once, then read the last word only of the final nine lines. To set the stage, visit this picture in fiat luxe's photostream on flickr.
Happy Valentine's day,
Smelt

Love in the Cathedral

“…except you ravish me.”

In the beginning I couldn’t speak to you.
Not because the words wouldn’t come;
It was because they might.
 ...

Edited on February 17: I've taken the rest of the poem offline, but am happy to send it to anyone who missed it when it was published. Send me a momail or an email and I'll get it right out to you.
