You are with Me ...


when I first awake each morning. Sleepy and vulnerable with eyes which refuse to open. Soft and warm with a body which yearns for Your touch.

… when I totter along to the hall and step into the shower. Beneath Your stern gaze, my soapy hands roam freely over my skin and I wish they were Yours.

… when I don my clothes and reflect on my rough lack of sartorial splendour.

… when I boil the kettle, make coffee, and have the first sip of that warm sensuous brew. My smile appears as I think of cooking for You.

… when I head out into the world to face whatever the day may present.

… when I climb the ladder up to my boat and take extra care because I know I must be safe for You.

… when You look over my shoulder as I work on some fitting and explain we do it this way because it is more secure, better protected, and safer.

… when I take some nourishment and consider what a positive influence You are on my diet.

… when filled with fatigue from the day’s efforts, I settle for a few quiet moments and contemplate this wonderful mystical connection between us.

… when I take a sip of Prosecco and whisper, “Slainte”, to You.

… when the sun sinks to the horizon and the night draws her velvet cloak over the world to end another day. The stars begin to peek down at us and I wonder if You too are looking up at them.

… when I climb into bed and long to share my warmth with You.

… when my eyes begin to close and I smile at my thoughts of You.

Every moment of every day, You are with me.

I must say that even the darkest day seems to be a brighter one and I can't avoid smiling and laughing when I view them :-)

REDHEADS (AND SOMETIMES BLONDS) IN MOVIES

The movie ..well, let's just say that anyone can have his/her thoughts about it.

But the poster is beautiful. There's tenderness. Lust. Joy. Contentment.
