The Better Things In Life

bourbon iced tea
cashmere sweaters
billie holiday
strings of chilli peppers
buttery mercedes
french vogue
fans turning lazily
chanel sunglasses. hermes scarf. fendi purse.
its better to have real.
rice paper journals.
charcoal and oil
vanilla spice soaps, chamomile shampoo
running on the shore.
tongues lapping words like cream.
milk baths.
perfume, nostalgia.english gardens, lambs, and pinafores.
dancing in a thunderstorm
crying in the sun
emotions on paper
wads of hundreds
the best
classic
meals of appetizers, chilled wine
grace kelly
scarf in the wind
freedom
it doesnt have to be a mans world
