In the mood for you – poem by Gabriela Marie Milton
The richness of the butterscotch sunsets, heated bodies, eyes pregnant with desires, incandescent spaces between the skin & white shirts stiffed with starch, heads turned toward the sea, a rose between your teeth, doors undone, amor, the judgement day is not here, let’s die on the petals of the wind.

Thank you Joseph. I hope you are well 🌸
I’m fine. Going through strong spiritual movements on my spiritual journey. I’ve been writing a lot lately and I’m going to take up painting. How are you?
Glad to hear Joseph. Taking up painting is wonderful. I am fine too. Thank you for asking. Tired but fine.
Rest! You don’t want to burn out. Reenergize your battery. Sometimes pulling away is Ok.
I plan to do that very soon Joseph. Take care.
So visuallllll
