It was that first slip a tight fitting parallel when I first laid eyes on you aloof and vague tall, dark and dangerous standing under the street lamp. I saw my reflection in your eyes and my heart raced to an unfamiliar beat as the temperature rose to a warm blush flooring me before I knew what hit me. Stolen moments we probably shouldn't have been stealing while trading secrets that lovers keep. You poured it on just two fingers full and made my head spin it was so easy to slide across the vinyl and get comfortable. There was no distance between us save for the dizzy dancing rhythm on those particular summer nights when the sun hung on for hours before it went down on us spilling our secrets on the horizon. It's one of those mental snap shots sprinkled with memories under the warmest rain that first glance that fades in the sunlight folded between the fine lines that blur turning to sepia tones. |

Bluesy One, I was totally immersed in this scene. Deliciously so! A moment in time captured in sepia tones to be resavoured from time to time...  Enjoyable 'reading' experience.  Linda |

Hey Linda and Ida~ Thanks, it's always good to hear from both of you sweet ladies. AND BC~~ I am so SO sorry I didn't reply to you earlier. I think I was half asleep or my brain wasn't computing properly. Thank you so much for leaving such a nice reply for me. |

Oh, dear Bluesy, how beautifully you express such a rare and wonderful moment. You have a gift that you use too seldom these days but, being the ever hopeful one, I'm expecting that to change.  Helen |
