My Idea of Heaven

After a long and stressful day 
Running the bath and adding scented oils 
Watching the bubbles foaming and frothing 
Climbing into the deep soapy suds
Sensational scent of lavender rises
Relaxing in the steamy atmosphere 
Blissfully all my troubles melt away
Drying myself in a soft warm fluffy towel
Climbing into freshly laundered sheets
Sheer bliss!

Mark J. Halliday Date: 2/11/2015 12:35:00 PM Sounds great, but it is so hard to find a comfortable bathtub (I'm 6 feet tall). I have to settle for shooting Zerg and Protoss aliens on my favorite video game for an hour or so.

Janet Eaton Date: 2/10/2015 4:54:00 PM This is definitely heaven Jan. So enjoyable to read, sorry but I am heading home to have a little bit of your heaven:) Janet Login to Reply Janet Eaton Date: 2/10/2015 5:49:00 PM Sorry for what you are going through Jan. I am sure I could never relate Jan, nor would I ever try. I care for my elderly parents and watching what they are going through is enough to make me cry. That is one of the reasons I am writing poems, to help me keep it all together. Sometimes we all need a little peace of heaven to go to. Hugs Janet Jan Allison Date: 2/10/2015 4:57:00 PM With my present life issues Janet I really should be living in my bath tub at the moment - this to me is simply heaven on earth:-( hugs jan xx

Thanks The kurlman Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/2/2015 3:57:00 PM To be honest I think the poem may appeal more to a woman than a man Carl - I appreciate your honesty. I have been writing for just a year and am having the time of my life:-) hugs Jan xxx

Carl Mann Date: 2/2/2015 3:31:00 PM More like a statement,than a poem, nice thought! The kurlman Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 2/2/2015 3:37:00 PM I guess it is a statement Carl :-) my own personal idea of a heavenly experience:-) Hugs Jan xx
