The scent of gardenias
On a hot summer's night
Makes me deeply inhale,
Gives my senses delight.
I'm tempted to pick
A giant bouquet
To breathe as I sleep,
To greet the new day.
But the cloying sweetness
Can be hard to bear
In a windowless bedroom.
So I leave the blooms there.

The taste of dark chocolates
Is something I crave.
For Godiva's creations
My money I save.
The treat to my tongue,
The rich creaminess
Has at times in my life
Defined happiness.
But chocolate is fattening,
I'm already large.
So I must resist
Though often, it's hard!

I have a fondness
For Foster's fine brew.
If it's not available,
Chivas will do.
They help me relax
And ensure my sleep,
But overindulgence
Means next day, I weep!
Or I waste the night
On the bathroom floor
At the porcelain altar
Stomach empty, once more.

The feel of soft silk
Caressing my skin
Is silent seduction -
As it's always been.
Many times I have worn
A favorite shirt
To give myself comfort
As I nursed some hurt.
But silk is expensive
And must be dry-cleaned
So most days I settle
For t-shirt and jeans.

I think sometimes I nibble
When life is a feast,
But I never hold back
On one thing, at least.
There's no moderation
In my loving you.
Caution is something
I simply refuse.
All that I have and am
Is what I give -
Now and forever,
As long as I live.

Well, I will forgive you the fact thats their is no raspberry tea in this

(yeah..I saw your confession on the other "pome") rofl
but over and above that one thing missing...
this poem lacks little else...and is Classic Ruth poetry...cadence kissed and written with a pen dipped in sincerety of heart.
Now who knew you were old enough to be reposting from Open One???

So what else ya got in your poetic treasure chest?

You speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes.
My body aches to breathe your breath ... your words keep me alive.

LJA: ROFL... Yanno... I hadn't thought of it that way! *G* My little furry owners certainly do have my love... in abundance! *S* How's your new Siamese friend? *tee hee* Thank you, sailor... glad you liked! *S*

JM: But that just leaves more tea for you??? *innocent look* *G* Thank you for those kind comments, lady... We won't mention how OLD I am *G* ... but I've been here almost forever. *G* The group Balladeer labeled "the motley crew" didn't make it here for PIP's grand opening, but we gave Nan's eraser a nervous breakdown just a few weeks later. *G*

M-toe: Thank you. *S* I'm glad I could give smiles to your day. *S*

Marge: I'm so glad you enjoyed, sweet lady... love you lots! *S*

Silver Streak: Thank you very much... especially for the hug! *S*

Sunshine: Slowly but surely. *G*

Victoria: LOL Somehow, Slim Fast just doesn't have the lure of Godiva! *G* Thank you very much. *S*
