Sizzling hot and sticky.

A hot sweltering sticky humid evening Heat clings and hangs in the stagnant air Almost too hot and stifling to bear Floods of silver wet ovaline beads Perspire and exude from every opened pore Trickle and slide in small ravines Skin soaked and shines and glistens Under subdued ambient lamp light Darker varied shades and tones Paint and cast shadowy patches Upon contours crevices and folds The night when chocolate and vanilla Eclipse-like lovers' lips Melt and merge into one Deliciously delectable Honey sweet tasty and succulent And perpetually morish Licking the bowl clean The dawn breaks The last remnants of last night's cloak of darkness Clears and teardrop-sticky dew evaporates Dried by the stretching rays Of a warming newly birthed morn The hen stretches her wings And clucks The cockerel croaks As the stifling heat has now gone And morn cools down.

Nothing like a cooling treat on a hot, sticky, humid evening--of both the ice cream variety and the romantic encounter variety? Maybe I'm thinking too much???

So agree. You are right, about romance, and the other too. Just had to let off some steam, before I went insane unless I haven't already.? Thank you so much. Heartfelt best wishes. Pete. The dreamer.
