In herbal garden, scents a'swirl Calm and Quiet at this point I drift in sighful ponder; Relaxing muscles, stretching joints Shall sip the day with frosted glass. Clearing mind, a glass of tea and twirl thin straw in wonder All is silent, it's just me A wistful novel in my lap, "MOM?!?!" from upstairs is the yell splayed open to wind's musk "You stupid brother, I'm gonna tell!" Its pages crisply speak the dawns "I didn't do it, Mom, I swear!" we trembled until dusk "I'm writing, kids...now be fair" Cool, calling breeze a'fingering, Ahhh, the bliss, the boys asleep long hair wisps free of bows; Or so I thought, one comes a'creep Flows o'er my dew-dropped cleavage, Kiss on cheek from youngest one lazed creep to silk-clad toes. *smooch* & *hug*..."I love you, son The sun shall peek once-hidden thighs, I give him water, wipe his nose shall kiss white skin to cream. Again to bed, your eyes to close Of wings and prayers and promises, and prayers are said again I surrender to my dream...... God bless Mom, Dad, brothers, Kasey..... KASEY? Yeah, she's this cute girl. CUTE?... Yeah, Maybe I'll kiss 'er!.....EEK!......Amen! You slide cool palm like wind's caress, I gather thoughts and dream once more.... your lips in gasps unhushed. Pup wants out, whines by the door Firm gather with your arms of strength On leash he does his business my body limber to your touch. "Good Boy, Otis!...*patting caress* In fantasy I sing for you Maybe I should have been a nurse? my cries in harmony but try to write a sexy verse with pulsing, beating, rhythmed hearts "Dear, do we have anything to eat?" we dual-compose love's symphony...... "Yes Dear, in the pantry are new treats" Awakened slowly, in a daze, Now WHERE was I? Where WAS I AT? warm sun, not you, I feel. Frantically words on paper spat Yet whispered breezes carry song; I finished? I finished? I finished a poem? Our loving....it was real. And that's how I write when all are home. ~~~ From one busy household to you and yours, may you have a happy and safe new year ! ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. ---Song of Gesture |

Hi Victoria, thank you There's no time like the present I suppose. I'm getting accustomed to writing through distractions |
