He blew rings for me wrote my name on the sky a marquise of mixed letters with a cauldron of smoke that rose from his mouth his kiss of confetti flavored with sea salt and Benson & Hedges it was south of the boardwalk by the whirl of the carosel at the ocean's reception we were just turning 20. |

I love thinking back to those times when time was endless; and we can learn to be there still. However, blowing smoke has lost its charm over the years! I enjoy your writing. |

Hmmm, it's warm on this side of my screen. Must be the fire from all that blowing - smoke. A |

20? Heck, I'll take forty! Ah, this is indeed a really fine poem, sweet and gently touching, and well crafted by the pen of the inkedgoddess. Best wishes, art |

“He blew rings for me” Are you sure that wasn’t just the smoke from your fiery kiss Goddess? My lips are blistering from here. In a wonderful way of course. Your words linger on my mouth Michelle so sweetly. Richy |

"wrote my name on the sky a marquise of mixed letters with a cauldron of smoke that rose from his mouth" ...reminds me of my father (when smoking was far cooler) and how he would amaze my with his 'sky-writing' abilities. nice write...thanks for sharing... |
