On my arm




Isn't the promise of summer

always so sweet?

Daisy chains and swatches of powder blue skies.

A caress in the small of your back

and the breathless whisper of

butterfly wings as they brush your cheek.

Yesterday,

I lived within a page,

a page of words and thoughts .

We went to the market

and ate sweet crepes.

Lemon.

Butter.

Sugar.

I watched as a girl sat with her feet up on a chair

scribbling note after note in her well

worn journal.

I wondered what her words said.

Three men played on Spanish acoustic guitars

and for a moment

I floated away to where Spanish galleons sailed.

As we rode home in the car

( windows down)

I wore the pretty silver bangle

that you sent me in the post

from a far away land.

And relaized

that silver is my favourite .

It looked so precious,
resting there.

  1. I love this time of the year! :) I do hate to be cold, so it's a real joy to wear short sleeves again!

    This is such an atmospheric post. I felt as though I was transported from my desk to the market. I could taste the crepes and the lemon and hear the guitar! :)

    Beautiful post, as always my lovely.

  2. Kess my sweetie!
    Thank you, thank you.
    My english teacher told me once,
    that one of my main strengths in my writing was my ability
    to make the reader see with their minds eye the scene I'd set.
    So I'm so glad that she was right!
    Thanks honey!

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
