that memory slipped from the stack onto my mind
like a postcard that fell from between the fingers
and landed on wanting to replay again, face down
so you had to turn it over with careful examination

time was like a west texas highway, partially dirt in places
so slow down was more comfortable, and you wore jeans
and bar-b-que sauce on your lipstick edges, between
the giggle girl times and the woman with her freedom on

when the poetry of your breasts became friendly ended
and the leather of my back savored your slow songs
as we leaned over against some sun sided pillow sky
and scattered small talk over that lazy dog afternoon

like a new deck of dreams, each with pictures of next time

This is my forever favorite...felt that postcard slipping through my fingers.

You're looking good with your heart on your sleeve.

You paint such a vivid picture I can smell the sunbaked dirt and BBQ! LOL

Beautiful. I've missed the pictures you paint with your words. Enjoyed.

I'll keep these dreams hidden
inside these eyes of mine
until my tears fall
unto my tainted hear
