Winter Personified :: Love and Attraction

I am learning to love the changing of the seasons and the unique qualities each possesses, much like the people I’m attracted to.

It was the press of the gold pedal- a clumsy, young kiss to my calf muscle- Sonata No. 14’s minor strokes rippling, dark water disturbed by a falling leaf, out from under my reaching fingers.

Sexual Musings :: Amber-Beer “Tell me what you wrote about today,” he whispered, lips lightly tracing the arc of my forehead. “About a woman who loved a man with golden wheat in his eyes; amber-beer irises lined with lashes the color of ink that stole the breath from her chest.
