I'm not in a decision making position
in my relationship.
I need to refer to my wife
before I
make this contract
binding.
If you wish to contact me,
I will be at your disposal in two days.
That's when my wife will be home.
We can arrange a video call.

Thank you


Thank You

Premium Member First Birthday

Pretty little princess
in bows and pink sundress
gifts and presents wondrous
year old today

Ribbons, sashes, ruffles
on floor crawls and shuffles
loud laughter and snuffles
childlike display

Mom and dad are so-so
lives changed a year ago
turned their whole world wacko
baby array

Parents hug each other
promise are still lovers
with a year now over
need time away

Grandparents blow kisses
friends and others wishes
party favor glitches
happy birthday

My Lover Sleeps In Peace While I Am Unrestful

He grew tired of me
...late nights...watching...him sleep
wondering...what could I do to change...
be a better woman for him...clothes...body
...hair...sensuality...personality...
a huge list for such minium time...
the time I think we have left... to be with each other
...but there he sleeps...breathing in and out
......once before...we had the same rest pattern....
resting at the same time...bodies matching one another...in unison
fighting so loud.... even when he's sleep, I still hear the volume of such words....
Can he feel my tears cascading down his lower back....the more I cry..
maybe?.... he'll understand the sorrow of the salt, from which they come from...
My darling..love me....like I love you...I'm sorry it's not strong enough... but then 
again ....  neither am I... I--
