february library


Be that
heartbeat
like music to my ears
one that makes me sing
harmony
playfully
around an upright piano
or tangled up in the sheets

Be that
sinful filling
in my cupcake
the one worth the weight
naughtily
teasing me
away from the 9 to 5
and into your wicked game

Be that
welcomed back rub
on weary shoulders
the kind that never ends
miraculously
fixing me
kneading my troubles gone
as fast as your hands can

Be that
one true, fine
love i let in
the kind that builds up
constantly
unconditionally
bathing lost, abandoned corners
in undying perfect light

Rene ~ February 3, 2013

If February makes you shiver,
get under those covers and dream :)

    Has that playful feel, Rene! Someone is not reporting for work but staying home for some fun! Nicely!

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
