Executive chef! I like my new title! Thanks for reading these tiny bits of spice and flavor. I really appreciate your comments.
-
Long weeks, wary circling, testing, trying, teasing, tumbling slowly into this one moment; above my sprawled form you hover, unseen ready to touch, to knead, to embrace me as yours.

Thank you AC. This one was one of my favorites in writing, too. The play and the persuasion were elements I hoped came through.
-
Quite warm, but playful, too. There are several plays on words, and I hope you got fun visual images from all of them. Thanks for trying this one...

When I first read this, I smiled for the sunlight and love I hear in every line. Reading it again today, the same smile returned, as I suspect it always will. Oboes and violins, like soothing like warm light; and the garden of people metaphor is brilliant. Utterly beautiful.
-
Thank you for sharing this part of your life. You brighten the world with its telling.
-
These are so incredibly beautiful, tim. And you bind me felt like gentle waves of love on a sunny day. And How can I love you? How can I not? These frame a delight in another, that connection which defies explanation. These are exquisite examples of your deep talent.
-
This is a nightmarish and sobering story. You tell it with clarity and detail. I was riveted from the first sentence.
-
I like both of these, but 589 particularly. Maybe I have a thought or two. But the garden is calling me...
-
@Defiance19 It's quite possible. It's a little ambiguous...who is really persuading whom? That would be one of those literary discussions that take up a whole class period. In any case, I'm with @BlindAmbition in that there is a unison affirmative eventually.

This is amazing. Were they even allowed to imagine this in the seventeenth century? Incredible.

(Insert blush here). Thanks, Spike.

Glad you enjoyed this. Hot curried Wheaties: now there's an idea. Thanks for reading and responding to this.
-
I could not agree more with you. Very sexy. Thanks for reading and responding!
-
What a perfectly marvelous flavor to bring to mind. Thank you!
-
Thanks for sampling from the Spice Rack. Hope you will try another offering sometime.
-
Three portraits of despair are presented here. Each one is as devastating as the other. Number 2 was especially powerful: the death of Hope would be a cataclysmic tragedy. And to have it pass unnoticed compounds the sadness. These are very well wrought poems.
-
Oh. Well, I suppose I can spell the word, even if I have trouble uttering it. Thank you for reading this, and for your comments.
-
Perhaps you need to break out a fan? Glad the play on words appealed to you. You are so kind to read and comment on these. Thank you!
-
I hope that is a good "Geez." Some spices are a little warm... Thanks for reading!
-
Perhaps I will lie prone, talking to my pillow, or on my back, watching your face aflame; you might anticipate mounting indeed, but before you cry out, I first have to say yes.

Chapter 8 Roped and Tied
Parker Owens commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 8 Roped and Tied
Roped and Tied is fun, and a hoot. But Good Outlook has important lessons for everyone. The last three stanzas are fantastic. Our own damn sin is right. -
This is well done. The first two stanzas had me on the edge of my chair. In an instant it changes, like the feeling of a carnival ride. I love the phrase Hope is written on the wall, particularly.
-
This is the kind of sweet and marvelous moment Alek and Liam deserve. They deserve the happiness of enjoying the other. You give us this in a deep, satisfying draught in this chapter. It is lovely to read. Thanks.
-
Thank you, Gary. Your words mean a lot to me. Here indeed is the intense, bittersweet flavour of trying again, of risking despite one's fears. And of accepting that from another.
