A gentle hand caresses an anxious back
The aroma of our morning coffee lingers longer than the morning hours
The flavors of your Chapstick…Nope that’s for me
A record scratches our soundtrack as we dance around the kitchen
The blue of your eyes–my Alpha and my Omega

Boons and Curses

Very nicely done! Paints a lovely picture!
I loe the way you kept things back
This is so beautiful. Well done, sir.
Awnn this one's so cute :) I love it!
I sense another challenge placement in your future. Now the real question is do I bet money line or parlay... And by doing so, will this directly manifest me placing so I then lose the wager because the universe loves that kind of irony?
You outdid yourself, thus flows so wonderfully
