A Lovers Breakfast Heaven




You! Across the paisley covered kitchen table!
Why do our knees kiss..then
lock helplessly in a welcome embrace, as in a fable?   

I am so enchanted when we feed each other.
The way you make those sunny omelets sets my 
heart all aflutter.

How you look at me with those languished eyes!  
Those orbs, deliciously succulent as hot apple pie.

There is no news on, for this is our day to play.
Blessedly under stay-in-place orders but we are 
more than happy~ I say!

No dishes do we choose to do by hand.
Into that beloved dishwasher they go, and come  
out divinely spic and span.

Come, my love on the deck's swing to recline.
Those dark green, sateen cushions, all our flowers 
and we, so blessed ~by God's sunshine!

What a beautiful picture you painted with your words - the breakfast - sounds yummy - the apple pie, the swing, the garden. But, most of all, the feeling of being in a protective cocoon on a sunny day. Really nice, Panagiota.

Sounds like a bit of personal paradise to me, an oasis midst the raging storm! Enjoy! ~ Gershon

Gershon, I have had it with the storm. Watching Pritzker on C_Span...seems like a cool dude! You maybe right in your predictions, I prefer paradise, my friend, greatly. Staying in my happy, fearless state. The Panagiota Oasis. Come on down!
