THE DREAM – THE REALITY
We stirred beneath the silken sheet
as morning light began to show.
We lay and kissed in firm embrace
in love our hearts aglow.
We stirred beneath the silken sheet
our pillows wet with dribble,
with sour breath and musty mouths
and desperate for a tiddle.

Thank you Michael I needed that after my morning... with the dogs
Thanks Andrew - it was inspired when watching a film on TV where the two stirred and fell into a passionate embrace - I thought: oh no - yuk!!
Yes... at a certain age... That's what nostalgia is for
Wonderful Michael, you have done it again, I burst out laughing! Thank you.
Thanks Andy - I'm too much a realist and I did enjoy writing this one.
This is excellent Michael!! Needed an early morning laugh! So well done....Christina
My pleasure - off for a shower now and get ready for the day.
Doh! I was about to swoon, then the second verse came along! lol.
A ghastly thing is, e.g. 'An affair in Eastenders' is advertised. Just don't let us see any details - no bed scenes - *shudders in horror*.
E Stenders - any relation to X Stenders?
They don't X tend in their acting. They're all made of wood. it was asked if a character is killed off. It said 'Is Phil dead?' (Mr Potato Head as he is known). I thought: 'When was he ever alive?!'
Best laugh of my morning so far Michael ................ so is the reality.
I've cut back part of the ivy against a perimeter wall and filled the green bin - I've showered, cleaned my teeth, had my third coffee, and now feeling knackered and it's only 11am . What's all this passion stuff?
Age brings the humour of accepting fallibility though passion will still reign.
Or is that rain?
At my age passion only comes in fruit.
many a true word written in jest eh friend...... tis a damn good un this un....

Reality rules - you are of the ilk of kindness dear friend.
Michael,
I guess now you’re having lunch...
and from what I read,
PASSION fruit is on your menu!
Enjoy!
I certainly enjoyed reading your penned words...
with a smile! 😊
The colorful flowers in your garden are amazing!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Actually we have just had mango for dessert - the flower is an everlasting pea (Lathyrus Latifolias) - they come up every year and never let us down but sadly they don't have the perfume of the annual varieties.
So...
Mango...the reality - -
for today
Passion...the dream - -
for another day
LOL
The flower information is very much appreciated. Thank you!
Mango has long been part of our diet thanks to my wife, Jeanne, who recalls eating it in her childhood in Burma sucking on the stone with the juice running down here face - a different taste again when it is fresh and straight from the tree.
Hello Michael,
A lovely write.
Good stuff.
Keep writing

No matter how passionate but ...
- when one first awakes
- after a smoke
- a garlic or whatever
and so many more
I gotta go hygienic
..but passion is passion, it makes us all sub-human
Really enjoyed the reality
Yesterdays reheated Indian Take-Away - urrggh!
