sizzling word play
zings back and forth
playful, sexy sparks
combust our hearts
and ignites our blood
wild flowers calm
but not our ardor
a breeze gently
ruffles the petals
I accept your offered
arm and pledge steady,
soul-melding hugs
that sustain us both

/ October 25, 2016That is cold but perhaps that’s what you’re used to up there. It’s nice though when the warmish temps keep hanging around before full-fledged winter shows up. I’m doing well these days, thanks for asking! xo
