My love is black ~ or so he tells me ~ My adoring eyes see only sweet warm brown ~ To match his eyes and complement his hair ~ My skin is fair ~ my hair pale gold ~ My eyes are blue or gray to match my mood ~ And when we lie exhausted in each other’s arms ~ Our limbs entangled and our breathing slow ~ We make a lovely picture ~ In the spill of moonlight ~ On the bed ~
Born in a small, Illinois log cabin . . . No, that won’t work. The pampered only child of incredibly wealthy parents . . . No, that won’t fly either. Raised by French nuns after her aristocratic parents were beheaded . . . No, that’s been done! Got it: An East Coast transplant to the Pacific Northwest, this notoriously late bloomer began her new life with a new career as a writer and blogger. She has taken to both the new location and the career move like a duck to water. Writing is a new adventure, and our intrepid risk-taker is diving in, feeling right at home and making new friends. Reached for comment, she replied, “Okay, I wrote my bio, now may I Please go out and play?” We expect great, or perhaps merely more coherent, things from this writer. (Okay, that’s a wrap. What a wacko!)

Thanks, Martha. Funny you should say that. This one is over half a century old. 😀

Very lovely indeed. I have always had a penchant for darker skin, perhaps it is because mine, like yours, is so pale and lacking in color. 😉

Oh, I fell in love with the man. He could have been blue with orange spots and I wouldn’t have cared. Love is love. 🙂
