The numbers…
These are
the number of kisses that we’ve had
the little dinners we have held
the evening walks on Tuesday’s end
the glorious sunsets around the bend

tame her wild gypsy heart,

Two Hoots…
Two little birds sitting on the wire, if they are a couple, I guess the one fluffing its wings is the female and the stoic looking one the male 😉
Now Available
In Mere Moments…
Impatient Pagan…
When he made her acquaintance,
her fragrance titillated his senses,
he sought to have a dalliance
with her, she glowed with such radiance

for his increased hearts’ cadence
