Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

0 posted 2009-03-07 04:53 AM


crumpets lightly salted with cream
breakfast from hummingbird nectar
bleeds into lunch and dinners
served among crumpled linens

mouths yawning with invitation
receive tangy-ripe flavor rewards
spilling over chest and breasts
sating thirsts that remain forever

only momentarily satisfied
laughter deftly punctuating
run-on sentences and promises
bookmarked in morning's sultry musk

Delicious, sensual visions.

Must be the cold outside ...

Sei un bocconcino delizioso... sorry, speaking in the one tongue in which this thought manifested

Love,

I'm smelling the coffee.  

What a perfect morning blend, and such a treat to read.
