Thank you, Marie.

nB, I am glad you like reading about Cassie, I like writing about her, but I still haven't figured out why.

Thank you,

Marl

Sometimes we can turn the smallest things into an "omen," can't we? . . . when the answer is already in our heart . . and we just to need to convince our mind.

True Enough!

Mill - that was great!

Random annoying question - how do you pronounce "Fayette" in your head.  I went to "Lafayette" high school.  And also once lived near Lafayette, Alabama - both with vastly different pronunciations, so just wondered your take...

I pronounce it FAY-ette.

Here is my dabble ..  :)


My Sweet Euphoria

The scent of you
Floods my senses
Overtakes my brain,
Lingers in the air
Feeding my lungs
Fueling this heat,
This avid desire.
Lust, relief
Uncertainty, love..
They boil in my veins.
How I’ve longed
To feel your lips
Seizing mine
Crushing, caressing
Plundering, possessing;
Quenching this thirst
Even as it scorches
A fiery trail
Where your lips alight
I’m set ablaze..

You moan
And whimper
Against my skin;
Hot puffs of breath
Tickle their way down.
My heart explodes
Leaps in ecstasy,
Electric waves journey
All the way to my toes.
Our bodies fuse
I long to stroke
Every inch of blessed skin
Pressed hard into me..
Bittersweet ache
Wherever you touch..
Pure, intoxicating bliss…

Our years apart,
Cursed and brutal as they were
Dissolve in this downpour,
Swept away
Farther than I dreamed..
Thoughts of lonesome days
Long bitter nights
Flee like unwelcome ghosts.
I am enthralled,
Craving sweet release
From an even sweeter ache.
The world’s a measly haze
As I melt away,
A candle in your flame
A puddle at your feet;
Soaring high to the skies
Clinging to your wings..
It’s all you
Nothing matters
Nothing … no one
It’s all you
I’m drunk on you
High on this sweet euphoria..
