Precious Moments Premiere Contest Winner

For Timothy Lee, the Best of Me
Sofa settled with my love and best friend; content, I could stare at him without end. I cherish our precious, domestic blend. Lost in a book or television show, he is often unaware of my glow, radiating as I eye-drink him slow. Even while in his distracted silence my love for him beats a heart reliance on even simple days of alliance. Just staring at his face captivates me. Glances to his hands raise my body’s plea. Times looking at him, are times I feel glee. We kiss-exist in domestic love gifts, such as my elated, hushed staring lifts while he clicks the channel and body shifts. ...

Tim is the inspiration for all my love poems that are based on my current life. We wish we had found each other much earlier than our 50s, but with infinite gratitude, we celebrate how blessed we are. I am thrilled with your enthusiastic remarks on my poem, and also with your charming wit. Blessings ... CayCay

Congratulations on your win. This is such a real life story. Does he watch sports or politics, when he is not looking at you, which I am sure he also does. Many wishes, Kai

At least you know where the remote belongs. I think this is great, especially the "eye-drink him in" part. Very cleverly written CayCay

I LOVE this, Caycay. I too chose sofa but not quite as dreamy as you about it. This shows the emotions of a woman so in love that just staring at her man gives her pleasure. For sure a win!! SEVEN

Even the muscles that move while he changes the channel have an effect on you...so nicely done CayCay. I like the words and phrasing in this. Made it really fun to read.
