the Fall brought her to me warm and soft
with dark brown eyes and tiniest hands
reminding me nine months prior to the
month of December when passion ignited
fervor between cotton sheets and darkness
transforming cold into heated pleasure
where in the aftermath holidays came
filling the kitchen with baking of pies,
sweet sugary cookies warm from the oven
& the promise of love lasting a lifetime

Glad you were able to get to the Fair. It’s been many years for me… Do they still sell those delicious, mouthwatering scones?

So interesting, Renee – reflections on love, as I have been doing myself just this morning. Interesting juxtaposition, lovemaking and pies š Food and sex. Not sure you intended it that way, but two of life’s great pleasures, no? š xoxo

It could be meant that way but it was many years ago now and having my daughter was a gift. Though no longer married…that too is many years ago now…I have so many children and remain expressly close to my oldest daughter. Thanks! š

I do try. The infant I speak of is my oldest daughter who is now 41yrs old. She has Lupus and has been such a gift as is her younger sister who is nearly 36yrs old. Thank You

Infants become adults in the blink of an eye as they say! How you must cherish them š One of my best friends has Lupus but has an incredibly positive outlook despite the challenges. She inspires me in many ways.
