that rabid AnthroSupremacy

A Clementine Duet
When tuscan tunes of twilight,
cascade as clementine confetti,
She searches for secret silhouettes,
swirling to the symphony
of sunflower serenades.
In the midst of faded fields,
marigold memories crawl back,
refraining yesterday’s
tangerine dreams.
Swans glide in
sullen grace,
illustrating a saffron
backdrop...

Happily-Ever-After Eternally
Happily-Ever-After Eternally
Dreams…ah, there are so many.
Which shall I share?
The impossible dream—
Which shall I choose?
The attainable dream—
Where does dreaming take me?
Do I even have a dream?
Am I too old to dream?

Do Friends Mix As Lovers

She breathes shallowly
and I feel her chest rise
slowly, gently against my body
her breasts press against my side
And I quiver, electricity shoots through my nerves
