Wrapped up and lost in love's embrace, I caress your beautiful skin
You are naked against me. We are spent. You are gorgeous in your sleep
The hopes of a life with you! Perfect in our splendor, ‘We’ feel so heavenly, our love is a sin
My desire for you burns white-hot, and the dreams bereaving me from a sweet slumber, run deep
Alas, you have made vows to another. The summer sun bidding adieu is painful and slow this eve
The pitch of the moonless night is matched to my heart. Helios, like me, now alone and in the dark
Most see your place in the sun is with your bride, and she is your season. Others know and perceive
Your reality is your season of discontent. When you are in the Autumn of your days, veracity is stark
You will learn to know I have loved you longer and brighter than a Solstice sun for most of my life
O, the white-hot sun burns! I beseeched you to choose my heart. Forlorn, I became instead of your wife

Show and Tell
When I was in grammar school, first grade, every Wednesday, we’d have Show and Tell. Generally, I was shy, sensitive and embarrassed very easy, so I never went in front of the class, and showed anything off unless my interest was piqued, and I had something of extraordinary importance and value to share with my fellow classmates. One time, I showed a one-million year old shark’s tooth that my Daddy found in a spring-fed creek that ran along his own back yard in Gainesville, Florida, when he was a little boy! All my friends were impressed with that, because that tooth was so big, it took both of my hands to carry it, and Daddy said: ‘...that it was probably as ancient as any dinosaur, that it was prehistoric, (whatever that meant), and it was so old, it had fossilized, and turned to stone!’ My teacher, Miss Smith was impressed with that. She liked old things.
