Embracing Life

by Michael J Falotico
                                                          I stood alone in the field..
                                             The sunglasses and a smile were my shield..
                                                  I walked, ran and crawled for peace..
                                            I loved ,desired and screamed from my feet..
                                                  With both lips I blew kisses in the air..
                                           All but a few scattered as the rest fell with care..
                                              I left no stones unturned but never rushed..
                                                 I just tickled rainbows till they blushed..
                                             While I embraced life with an intimate glare..
                                              Making love to new and old with equal flare..

Congratulations on the poem, well done. I don't claim to be a great poet but this feels very sensual to me, was it suppose to be? Lee

well luv I never want u out of my life and happy to know u are not scared away in any way ... the 'bear' is now 'bigfoot' .. a bust weekend with his temper and for me it is finished ..once we come back from this preplanned vacation already paid for.. I told him.. enough.. he was upset and ranting and drove away Sunday afternoon like a maniac cause I would not be intimate with him...how could I? the bellowing is like a beast in a cage.. he needs to see a doctor..really luv.. but I am super..
