Macushla is an Irish word meaning "darling"
(Fictional)
Lost in the depth of his pearlescent black eyes shining brilliantly (Just for me) Those almost-crimped wrinkles intensify his smile ev'n as the sea breeze ruffles his hair (I can only stare) The thrum of my heartbeat can be heard above the howling of the sea at eventide (We stand side by side) Holding hands, we breathe in the salty tang silently me and my macushla (Handsome fella) My feral flummoxed feelings of before have fled now I am content with joy My heart overflows (I think it shows) He winks at me knowingly and I find myself falling plumb in love with my husband once again. 03.18.2021 For John Hamilton's "Eight word Bardenesque challenge" contest
