and what is romance
but promise?
and why shouldn't we want it?
at night the lake feigns sleep
what is it keeping?
gentle lapping
delicate
even breath
safe sounds
all the people you don't know
and all the people you love
are inside
warm
asleep
and somewhere not far
someone you'll never meet or know
lies awake
and listens too

this moment is
wrapped in cashmered
textures of memories
dyed with opalescent
colors of possibilities
woven by the warm
touches of now
the exquisite gentle
stroking of your fingers
on my cheek
the highdive of your eyes
plunging into
my oceanic depths
the movement of your words
spiraling softly as snowflakes
on my moonlit meadowed soul
this moment is

Drinks and Dinner at Cascal's downtown Mountain View is a great first date place.
Friday night live music, let's go! Gelato ice cream for dessert down the street
at Gelato Classico. Voted best place for a first date in Metro.

I also enjoy the small neighborhood eatery and bar called Viva's in East Los Gatos.
Tuesday night is wine tasting night. Yippie!

I love the old movies at Stanford Theatre in downtown Palo Alto,
let's do dinner Shokolaat on University, then watch some moooooovies.

Out of town dinner date is The River's End restaurant at the end of the Russian
River in Jenner. A great day trip is Bodega Bay, Jenner, wineries along the
Russian River- driving or biking around.

Starbucks and Pete's are great places to meet up first too to say hi.
Red Rock coffee has comfy chairs and fairly private upstairs to hang out.
Latte's to die for too.

Movies over at Shoreline Century Theatre are fun.
The Green Lantern, next the movie theater, has a great private area
in the back to hang out. Dancing on Friday nights too.
