Water

What I know of water is this--

You are my lover

wrapping your large hands around me

You are deep--

cold,

You take no pity.

Pull me into your belly

It is this lovemaking I want:
something wreckless
I don't break so easy.

Pull me down,

into your undertow
tangle me inside your salty roots.

Then push me up toward that perfect blue sky
Save me.

your soft liquid orgasm.

Wind and Fields

June heat wraps its thick tongue 'round our shoulders, and

nearer to the thick of summer we come,

our heated souls wandering.

Fields are for love-

and for flowers

and wind comes in and reminds us

all things tamed are really not so. Undo the latch,

pretty flowers

let the wind take you too,

as a good lover should.

Moods

Lately I am in love with all things Moroccan... the open airiness of large rooms and intricate details. Textiles, metal, color. Such an old world mystery in the modern world.

I love the organic feel of this room, with a tree growing indoors...

Simple, yet rich

Old world magic...

Cinnamon

***

Cinnamon is in your blood,

like a hint of madness, turned

sexy.

Do you remember the time we drove passed

the red rocks and into the trees--

loving you

was all I needed

And hints of you now,

in the sheets

on the back patio- wind

and your name

inside

my tongue

forever.

To my Beloved

{Poem to Myself on Valentine's Day}

I must admit it was a surprise, I never expected it to be you--

and yet time's passed-- some have come and gone

but here you are, yes you.

And so I declare, I will love you with truth,

and in times of changing too

for you are the most important love,

never alone, no

rather anew.

Let your hair down and get wild! Even if alone in the kitchen with some rose petals and a vintage dress just for you...

Write yourself a love poem, will you?

A Fairy in My Kitchen, Murat Sayginer

Masquerade Please

Here is my idea for a wonderful Valentine's weekend- to host a masqerade ball in an old dilapidated castle, with winding staircases and candle lit halls. To escape in the splendor of the old world, with grand lavish dresses and secret passageways...

Think of me...

Think of me fondly...

Blowing in the New Year

Wind

Like wind, sometimes we are blown into the direction of sorrow-

loss perhaps,

or sickness.

But a new year and a new wind,

perhaps a shade of pink.

Return to me

my lover

usher me into the sunlight

and the brush

Let my story come from here--

from this place of living.

Salut!

Pardon my absence of nearly two months... it's hard to believe it has been that long since I have blogged. I have been busy... living life I suppose. I have the urge to move- and I have Paris on my mind...

{J'adore Paris}

A toute a l'heure!

Cupcakery... xoxo

I LOVE these cupcakes! Ladybugs, caterpillars, and polkadots, oh my! I am definitely going to my favorite cupcake shoppe and getting a sweet snack today!

{Ladybug lovely}

{Mr. Caterpillar, how are you?}

Happy Tuesday!

Never Never Land...

Eternal youth, ships, flying, and fairies
...and of course a humble thimble

By the sea, by the sea...

What else could a girl want?? The beach... hammocks, and 1950's fashion? I'm in love, how 'bout you?

And then there was Yellow..

I'm in a love affair with yellow... which is nothing really new, I have always loved the happy 'sunshiney' color... but I'm especially infatuated with it at the moment.

I LOVE these stockings!

Happy Thursday everyone!

A New Day...

Well,

My fellow bloggers.... I apologize for disappearing for over two weeks, but medical issues arose and I had to go to the hospital. When one is forced to be in a hospital for two weeks, you realize the beauty in every small detail... the flowers outside in the garden,
the soft blanket on your bed...

the solitude of coffee in the morning during sunrise.

If there is any absolute in life it is that of a new day. A tree's branch that has fallen, will precede the growth of another... the water that has dried on the ground will eventually be filled by rain,

the heart and all its deep red leaves, will grow like fire.

{Let's Go Fly a Kite...}


If this is a prayer, then let it be heard- and if it's a poem, let it be shared. But whatever the situation, a new day is always in order... this I know.

I'm glad to be home!

Peep Show

Well,

these past couple of weeks I was away from my computer (more detail above), and I so desperately wanted to post my Easter finds... better late than never:)

As always I try to find new ways of sprucing up hot chocolate... it is good year round in my eyes. Simply place fake moss or green of your choice on saucer, and cup on top. Place a peep in the hot chocolate and you'll have an extra sweet something for Easter... (something to think about for next year, aye?)

And a proper basket is always in order...

Hope your Easter was wonderful!

...out of focus...

This week has been a little rough... at least since Tuesday evening. So I went on a blind date (by the persuasion of a co-worker) and it
made me think of my ex...

so after a few beers, I found myself at his house, as if no time had gone by. Needless to say, I felt so defeated, not being over him yet, and spilling my guts to him. And worse, after I left, I remembered that oh so familiar feeling of letting go, yet again. Sorry to bum you out, but things have been a bit somber...

...............................

I just need to forget you

but you're here, in the scent of my clothes

in the restlessness of my hips... my neck.

I can still feel your jawline against the curve of my ribs

and this aches beyond color, or weight...

Why must I love you like this?

The Little Things

This time of year I always want to redecorate my room, and get some little extra goodies for the home. Some spring flavor...

Happy Tuesday everyone!
Hope your week is going well:)

A Day for Sunbathing...

Well, it's nice and warm here in Arizona... in the eighties I believe?? Time to pull out the swimsuit and basque in the sun!

Spring into the Kitchen!

Oh, the weather here is gorgeous and we are officially in spring! Couldn't resist a little on-line window shopping...

I love aprons! When I wear them and cook, I feel more inspired and sophisticated...
It sounds totally silly, but they make me feel like I'm in a film,
creating some masterpiece for my friends and loved ones.
I think there should be National apron day!

{Chef in the house}

{a tsp, please}

{and 1/2 cup of sugar will do}

Hope your weekend is off to a nice start-
can't wait to hatch my easter inspirations...
xoxo
