She sat on the bed and listened
Knowing most of the story.

Her toes separated by cotton balls
She took one last stroke of crimson
To the end of her large left toe
And looked up.

He had finished.

Sitting there in the chair
A glass of whiskey in hand
With eyes that seemed
To be watching someone speak.

“Yes, I still have the .45”
she answered him after a pause.

He twisted a bit in his chair
And propped his legs on the edge of the bed
Letting his head fall back
With unfocused eyes.

“Why don’t you come to bed?”
she asked.

“Your toes dry enough I won’t mess them up?”
he replied with a grin.

“No” was her whisper “but, they can be redone.”

She pulled the cotton from between her toes
And rose to face him.

Off Ivory buttons slipped through holes
Then buckles rattled in release

She kissed him and watched his eyes
Change from dark brown to hazel
As the sun caught them
Shameless

Great scene! Enjoyed.

I like these lines which ~almost~ could be a poem in themselves...

"Off ivory buttons slipped through holes
Then buckles rattled in release."

Enjoying your writing.

Vivid! Captivating!

A .45"? Is he sure he wants to do this?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Well steam me screen why dont ya

Woo hoo...katy heats up ... lets see what else she inspires in you.

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.
We fell them down and turn them into paper that
we may record our emptiness.

I love the lines about the eyes, those last three. Really intriguing.
