Saturday Satisfies...Snippets

dinner with a special date...who has the proper touch in holding a chair for a lady
learning how to please and being pleased
smiles and laughter in faded shirts
breezes off the ocean in my imagination...

..someday...i will always feel them...

playing and giggling and laughing with my favorite friends
new music that fills my ears and my soul
rediscovering reasons to fill the ice trays
morning chats with old friends, and new...

...hiss.....sizzle....yes...still hot...

seeing the raspberries beginning to blossom
the history of a nation
traffic free commutes and strangers on the street
wondering about strangers on the street...

...a shy smile...and a little glance...

the crisp, citrusy taste of my favourite new drink
late night swims that leave me panting
wanting to be where i am not, yet content to only want
honesty...

...and i will keep diving right on in...

knowing the choice is mine, and still choosing
the cool night air on my bare neck
waiting, and daydreams, and waiting for daydreams 
pleasing and being pleased, hour after hour...

...let the breeze blow...for as long as it likes...

riding the express train to passion
the fact that there really is a super girl barbie and i have her now
cranky old chauvinistic poets who are actually very wise
drawing your own constellations...

...start at point a..and work your way up...

freedom, even if it's scary, and desire for less
backlit photographs with the dawn creeping up behind me
precious little sleep
and knowing it is worth it....

...when it lights you up inside...
