Dearest husband chops onions, peppers for spicing, pungent red, yellow, bell; slices strips of tender beef, dicing celery, mushrooms, making homemade soup while I lie curled in our quilt exhausted, depleted, aching, worn thin from the world. ~ ~ ~ I regard blearily from our motor home bed, while he meticulously tucks in baby carrots, parsley, cauliflower sprouts, broccoli sprigs, his own personal blend of spices, fresh chives, stuffing mix; smooth melting cheese. He’s such a chef, and a magnificent lover in the truest sense. My nose perks up, relishing those familiar steamy warm scents rising from the saucepan sweetly tantalizing. Vapor gathers on the RV windows. ~ ~ ~ The chill autumn night gentles. ~ ~ ~ I know he's amazing; he watches me gazing, my mind changing gears, he holds the secrets of drying all my tears. ~ ~ ~ Tasting from a spoon, he brings a bowl; comes to me, warm sapphire eyes shining; "here, honey, have a bite" and he feeds us both by hand. He undersands. I have not been home long; haven't eaten all day. My stresses just overcame me and he cares. Taste buds perk me up. His love warms my inner soul, and heals me. I smile my heartfelt love back to him. I tell him that no lady was ever loved so dearly, and oh, I love him so! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G.

Aww...This was very very sweet...Smells like wonderful poetry to me.  I just have one question. Are you purposely trying to make me cry tonight? He he..At least it would be a happy cry.  This one has some tenderness that touched my soul! Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

wow Rosemary a wonderful poem, you cooked up some beautiful nad tender images brought to the boil perfectly with just the right pinch of passion. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. manic street preachers "Culture Alienation Borebom and Despair" "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP "And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper. ----- |

Yep, She's gone an done it again... I'm hungry... And your right Temptress, but those tears are from jalapenos drifting o'er the waves and you must of caught the scent, not to worry I'll try and send a kerchief, while I'm cooking, and now look I can't even tell if Rj's tears are over you or the darn jalapenos. And, Oh my lord, lookie too at Marge she's right in line for a cup of what ever it is that's being dished up... she must be a grocery girl from way back, what a butter cup. And here comes MaggieBleu and she's hunger too, I don't know if the pot is big enough for all of you. I need Maggie's Skipper to send over a couple or three pounds of clams there's so much I could do.., as I've been thinking for some time lately 'bout a chewy chowder, well maybe. And Brian, well he needs a pinch of something, and even if it isn't food... he's sure thought provoking when it comes to good cooking. Now 'Lil Ms. Ducky, When you post something on the net 'bout me cookin' I thinks you better look out a little for all dos hungry ladies just a looking ya knows good recipes are hard to come by dees daz, sigh.., don-cha-know..? Sendin' me lovin' Ducky, Your (lucky cooker, I mean keeper) Dale < !signature--> If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name.

This was absolutely and delightfully delectible Rosemary! This was a great pick-me-upper, with such warm and sentimental thoughts ... Such a "lucky" woman!!! Best wishes, /Kit |
