Playing
With A Playmate,
Is So Much Better,
Than “Solitaire”
So I,
Let Down My Hair
For New Year’s Eve
And Went To The
Party Instead
Curious
To See,
What Fun
Might Be,
Happening
After Midnight
And That’s Where
You Caught Me,
Staring At You,
With A Laser Gaze,
But, You Didn’t Turn Away?
Instead I Felt Your
Lingering Look,
Unwrapping The Layers
I Hide Behind,
Down To The Real Me,
Building The Tension,
And Exposing The Fires,
Of Anticipation And Desires,
That Started To Burn
Between Us
Wanting To Explore
The Possibilities,
And All That Might Be,
Waiting Beyond The Edge
I Let My
Sly Smile,
And Eyes
Ask,
“Will You Come
And Meet Me,
In The Shadows,
In The Darkness,
In The Backside
Of The Night,
Where We Can
Play Out All Our Fantasies?
Away From Prying Eyes,
And Judgments,
On A Playground
Of Our Choosing?
Can You Hear
My Soul Whispering?
I’m In The Mood To Play!
Are You?”

Happy New Year to any reading these words! What a year it has been! Regardless of what your plans are to ring in 2021, we hope these playful words will make you smile. A big ‘Thank you’ to Chuck for convincing me to adventure again into the world of collaborations. He takes my thoughts and flies them like a kite, taking them higher.
Please note, that although I have published this poem with Chuck, I am still not ‘around and reading’ until my Monday (Aussie time). See you soon 💜
