Burn

Feel my warmth against your skin

A fire simmers from deep within

A heart, surrenders, to a touch

Lips against lips, in a silent hush

Two body’s crash in a single burn

Flesh upon flesh in a single turn

Feelings that can no longer hide

Release this yearning ache inside

Passionate cravings, fuel for the fire

Two become one in heated desire

French Toast

Tags

, , , , , , , , , ,

With this wonderful snowstorm, and all the crazies out yesterday, I just had to reshare this poem from 2014 🙂

OJ French Toast
I still don’t have the answer
To a question asked
So long ago
Why do you buy milk, eggs and bread
When someone mentions snow

Does this sinfully sweet
Breakfast fare
Make us become a little manic
If we don’t get the ingredients
Do we all begin to panic

Do the slices of bread
With their cinnamon swirl
Remind you of riding a sled

Or the soft golden butter
Melting over the top
Remind you of warm days ahead

Do the fluffy white flakes
Falling down from the sky
Remind you of powdered confection

Or the syrup that’s oozing
Dripping over the sides
Remind you of sweet perfection

I want to know the simple truth
About this French Toast story
I’m pretty sure it’s not just snow
That gives it all its glory

 

 

Here’s the original story that asked the burning question: What Is It About Snow & French Toast?

A Mother’s Doubt

Tags

For C & J – two beautiful people
She tries so hard, just to be

The one she wants him to see

Through all the ups and downs

And the turmoil that swirls around

He smiles and laughs his boyish grin

Knowing well, from deep within

Her love for him shall never waver

This is ultimately what will save her

From wondering if she’s got it right

When at times, she’s up all night

Just watching as he breathes, she sighs

Questioning the reasons why

She doubts herself when she can see

The fine young man he’s grown to be

Arriving ever so quietly

Delicate golden wings flutter

Whispering to her heart

A gentle reminder of the

Splendid beauty upon the Earth
