Ruffled red petals,
taut with youth,
reveal, then conceal
fragmented, silken
passionwords sipped
from salted lips.
Rosy hips,
nectar kisses, and
perfumed sighs.
Closed eyes, so unwise.

Notes: Happy Saturday Night! Okay, really it’s Sunday morning. A date-night with the hubby, remembered romance, and I’ve created a new Friendly Fairy Tales category — romance. A touch of summer love for the romance-seekers, looking for magic and music, birdsong and beeswax, flowers and frolics, among the ferns. If you like my new category, let me know.
Love in the air… loved the write-up

Summer is disappearing too fast. We’re enjoying it, though. Your back all better? BB doing well? XOXO

I’m happy you are enjoying summer. My back is so much better. Now to get back into moving more freely! Healing for a year has shown me how easy it would be to just stop but I’m not doing that for sure! My girl is doing better. She still hasn’t regained her sight in her right eye but I’m still hopeful! Always hopeful! xoxo

Being hopeful is good. I wish her all the best! And you, too, Supermom. One of these days, I hope you come to New England.

How utterly sensuous this poem is! Luscious as the photo, and yearning as the bud in the center, your words took my breath.
Romance sound fab!
