~*~

Mesmerizing candles
Soft music playing low
I ease into the water
Becoming one with its flow

I soak in scented water
With bubbles to my chin
My hair swept up saucily
And fastened with a pin

Louffa spongeing of my body
Makes my skin all aglow
Bath chamber full of fragrance
Refreshing body, mind and soul

I lie here so mellow
Feeling cozy, safe and warm
As raging winds blow outside
I lie sheltered from the storm

Noah ~

Noah, I used to love to play with my daughters' rubber duckies when I had my baths! I'm like you! I love to play! My grandmothers had a child-like quality about them until they returned to their Home in the stars--and there was evidence that they liked rubber duckies too!    

Huggums, Dear One,
Linda

Nice write Linda of course the image of you in a bath helps..winkwinknudgenudge
I've never been one for baths i think it's more a female thing, I never understood it. Sure there are soaps and candles and bubbles but basically your just wallowing in your own filth..oh wait i do understand it's like a weekend with the guys

Gotta love the clean scent that leaves an after glow.  After laying in the sun all day,  I should think about degreasing!

You are hiding your romantic side again! I know it's in there. I have seen it!

Try a bubble bath with someone special...

May you have a wonderful evening!

You were lying in the sun all day? Oh, that sounds glorious to me---but I'd be as red as a lobster if I did that!

Enjoy your bath this evening!

I picture now that bubble bath
That you are sitting in.
The visuals are so intense
My head is in a spin!

There's nothing like a bubble bath
To make one feel alive
Although it's sad that bubbles
Find it quite hard to survive.

They slide - they burst - their life is done
They've given you their all.
Their only joy is feeling your
Smooth softness as they fall.

If reincarnation does exist
And if I'm really lucky
When I die and come back I'll be
Your favorite rubber ducky!!

I believe you did spell Sarah's name correctly. But then, I can't spell either!
Hope you get to have your bubble bath this evening!

"Mag"nificent One ~

I have a bottle of bubbles in my hand! Shall I pour? Or do you want to come and get it?
The water is nice and warm--and waiting for you! I must be going now. It wouldn't be prudent for me to stay and watch you naked in a tub of bubbles!

Enjoy your bath!

You can trust an angel--there IS such a thing as reincarnation! I look forward to our next incarnation!  

Enjoyed your poem! Thank you very much! It was a pleasant way for me to end my evening.
I think I'll be dreaming about rubber duckies whilst I slumber...

Nite, nite!

This is an excellent poem. Unlike some poems, the rhymes complement the poem, rather than stick out. I like the line about your hair up saucily and tied with a pin. That's just like me!

This is delightful, EA! *S* I could use one of those right now. *S* Of course, even if I managed to escape the werk monster, I probably wouldn't indulge myself cuz the chores would catch me... but I can dream! *S*

Suthern ~

I have been missing you!

You sound like one busy southern gal! You simply must find the time to pamper yourself!
When I am burning the candle at both ends, I need my special bubble bath time even more! I'll give up sleeptime to have it! I make sure that I have my bubble bath every day. It is my salvation!--and it is a wonderful place to meditate!

Sending bubbles of happiness,
EA

Sometimes I enjoy my bubble baths alone--and sometimes not!  

Blowing some soapy bubbles your way!
