My Five Senses

The sight of the sea whenever you're with me.
My beautiful daughters one, two, three.
Soft top down, your hair in the breeze.

The sound of music turned up loud.
I don't care about the crowd.
I'm already on the dance floor.

The smell of a baby's downy hair.
First bath over, mum's in the chair.
I pass the bundle, midwife in charge.

The taste of your lips after that swim.
When you kissed me on a whim.
My mouth hot in the sun.

Oh yes, the touch of skin on skin.
Where oh where do I begin
and you end?

How lovely of you to visit Susan. I have been neglecting my muse since our precious summer sun keeps me outdoors.

Ah Carrie, how nice of you to say. My heart is already fit to burst with love for my daughters, so I am blessed. The man in question is a new addition. There's not much room in my heart, but I am trying to squeeze him in all the same.

Thank you Lyric. He's French and unfortunately in France as we speak. It's my birthday and I could think of ways to celebrate I cannot do alone.
