Close your eyes.
Cover your ears.
We’ll take a train
away from here.
Somewhere greener
Anywhere warmer.
Someplace just beyond
our reach but we’ll
reach it anyhow
Leaving the delirium
of the mundane behind.
We’ll hold court in a
seaside town.
And rinse our glasses
in sugar.
Learning the music
our hearts make when
blessed with a peaceful
beat, the sound of us.
We’ll lean into each other
and come like we
never have.
Your mouth all over me.
I’ll sing you to the edge.
Your gaze only on me
as we will dance into
new revelations, and
curl like a comma
into hopeful beginnings

He’s lovely and likes the ladies. ๐
Your poem washed over me like a peaceful day on a calm ocean. Lovely! Loved the artwork, tool. I’m not familiar with the song, but your voice sounds beautiful, Tosha.

By the way, did you paint that cover, or was it done through other means? Was very curious about it.

I did paint it. I used watercolors I’m glad your tech issues are sorted out. I know how frustrating they can be.

Yeah, in all honesty thought the blog was done. And thanks for the info. Didn’t know watercolors could be so vivid. Only barely started using acrylic paint at the suggestion of someone and its always fascinated me what individuals can create.

If I wasn’t a total newbie, then wouldn’t really mind [: Just started a few months ago. It was suggested that I paint 200 paintings, and I shall never see the world the same again. Am working on it though. Always loved/respected the creative potential individuals can unleash, be it painting, writing, etc. In fact, think its vital to a healthy mind in many ways. Total tangent. Maybe one day if am confidence enough will show you and/or the world my ubber-newbiness. Until then! And isn’t enhancing just another art tool?
