love’s bondage~love’s freedom

as caramel layers of sunlight fall
across our bodies
painting masterpieces on our skin
your fingers intertwine with mine
in this
love’s sweetest bondage
and three words
breathed to life into my ear
melt all chains
and set me free



~ Ruth

I whisper those three words to my girl every morning. You WERE referring to "What's for breakfast?", weren't you?

Laughing at Balladeer, but Ruth I haven't heard these for a long time, so I loved the sentiment in this one.  I am really looking forward to meeting you at Nan's in April too

Some people put carmel on their oatmeal...
(couldnt resist)
This is steamy enough to know the oatmeal got cold again  
lovely romantic imagery and sensual emote.
So good to see you back in the blue Hoot-girlie

Awake again I can't pretend ... and I know I'm alone ...
And so close to the end of the feelings we've known.
