my taffeta dress falling
on the floor
staining the carpet
with the violets of beach pea.
your kisses morphing
on my neck
into the loneliness
of sand castles lost to sea.
the shining mirror now reflecting
a golden painting of a nude
Márquez is finishing in silence
his hundred years filled with solitude.

This is beautiful but that middle stanza, just wow!! 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words! They mean a lot to me!
You are welcome and you words are quite beautiful. 🙂
Not as beautiful as yours. I have to start running … 🙂 thank you once again!
Awwww, how sweet, but your words are gorgeous. Don’t forget the sneakers 🙂
We got a deal! Let me know where to send them 🙂 Oh, by the was I have new cowboy boots too. Keep dancing, and I will send a pair your way!
Hhaha! Awesome! The last cowboy boots I owned have been buried for years 🙂
Sorry, “way”
