SWEETNESS.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Sweetness.

 

I see
butterscotch evenings,
blue sky honied with amber-cream,
last light frothing waves
as sea's olive coverlet changes
to caramel-sepia.


I see
twilight blush streaking,
drab dusk striped in humbug-tints,
pink cheeks to match sun 
as sinking in cherry-lip memories
it paints clandestine scenes.


I see
Treacle-soft times sealing
fate's hue in sugared vows, trying
each offered treasure
of sun-down discovery, zealously 
sharing mutual feelings.


I see
Chocolate-smooth dreaming
invade ever-after, held closely
those covert secrets
best kept on beaches made tasty
by first love's extra sweetness.

    Your eye sees more than the casual viewer methinks.

    The candied excitement, thrill and magic of love and romance beside the oceans edge radiate through your words today.

              THANKS FOR SHARING THIS FAY ! Even @ 31 & 36 we can relate to this as we are still in the First Flush of True Love. In these last few precious days every scent & every savour of each other is butterscotch - caramel - mint - cherry lips - treacle - chocolate - by the end of this trip we will have eaten each other. We have NEVER EVER felt like this about anyone else before : IT MUST BE LOVE ! We know you will understand FAY because you write from experience : AMEN. In S Island BRIAN assures me there will be many many secret & precious places for us to share our LOVE and we are still discovering each other : AMEN Love the PICTURE FAY : That really is US : AMEN
              Blessings & Joy & Peace
