Memories of summer nights
sky midnight silk
studded with diamonds
my heart beating fast
with you sitting next to me
on a scratchy plaid blanket
you all Love’s Baby Soft skin
and strawberry pink lip gloss mouth
small hands entwined with mine
warm minty breath
our secrets held close
like your curves to mine
turning us molten
kisses full of longing
and wonder
witnessed only
by the jealous moon
and the fireflies that danced over our heads

Thanks Sarah! Though I am sure I am dating myself with the Love’s Baby Soft reference but I still remember the smell.

I think it would be frowned upon if I was still out there kissing 16 year old girls! Being married to a man doesn’t make me straight-just monogamous. Being a 51 year old pansexual in a long term relationship with a man often makes me invisible. I like to remind everybody every once in a while that they shouldn’t make assumptions.

Hell yeah! I didn’t mean kissing young girls, but I did mean feeling young and intoxicated when we kiss women and/or men. I totally understand that ‘invisible’ feeling- doesn’t it come like a cloak woven from silver hairs & wrinkles? I don’t think it’s got much to do with whether you’re straight/bi/pan/Queer etc etc. I’m glad you’re reminding us all of your depths & history/herstory, thank you for sharing 🌈❤ G

Oh, do I know that the cloak woven from silver hairs & wrinkles! The invisibility cloaks in Harry Potter and Lord of Rings barely had its power.
