A Valentine poem-- Needing This, Wanting That I want a brand-spanking millenium kitchen, equiped with brushed chrome appliances, lacquered stone tiles and funky, beaded light fixtures. I need your illuminating smile under the water-stained ceiling and exposed plumbing. I want a boudoir; a love nest of raw silk pillows bouncing on down duvets, rosewood built-ins, crown moldings and drawers full of satin lingerie. I need your touch, like flannel pajamas under cotton sheets, when the heating oil runs low. I want sculpted pines, cultured orchids bordering venetian slate walkways while the sun dries the manicured boxwood. I need a daisy, tickling my nose, plucked from the weeds by the broken gate and bent gutter. I want your expensive love done on a budget, your million dollar look in denim.  |

awwww this is adorable...and i mean it, Chanson! Mui bonita, amiga! It's not a case of 'settling' for something, but realizing that wants are pieces that are satisifed a little bit at a time of what we can emotionally afford. what a treat this was to read. Be well, and have a glorious day 'morrow, K? tSR  |

ShadowRider-- Mucho Danke! (oops! I'm mixing languages. *grin) Hey friend, you have a fabulous V Day too! monique-- I'm happy you appreciate my sense of humor. I always say, "If you can't laugh, go cry in a corner" *grin* (Actually, I never say that. I just now made it up. *L*) |
