A Cloudy Burn

Sun's rays, hidden behind clouds
Kiss and color my skin
More easily than on a bright, clear afternoon.

Like an ardent lover on those hazy days
Making me glow
so gently
slowly, yet insistently
Only to realize later, I've been burned.

Forget the Boardroom

Kitchen, by Anne Kundtz

Forget the boardroom.
This is where the power is.
This kitchen
filled with clutter and spice,
swirling and dodging,
collecting our lives.

It is here that we make
Big Decisions,
where Peace is restored
Hunger solved
Souls replenished.
Here, we make mistakes,
red-button catastrophes and, then,
apologize and hold one another
hoping to be forgiven, to forgive,
never really knowing.
This kitchen, bright and rambling,
a world in itself,
secures us, like a bouquet of rosemary
swinging lightly from the eves,
the fragrance of
our ragged dreams
our mingled prayers
sustain us as we move beyond
the porch steps.

Come Away With Me

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you 
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

Forest Dawn

Where sleeps the crescent moon 
and drifts bright stars away
to bring a song of light
glowing from a thicket there
where tawny birds take flight
or dappled in the wooded trees
foggy breathed the morning light
with rousing sounds of faeries there
drowsy in their dreaming cares
they bid farewell unto the night,
to stars that sail swift into the evanescent light.
Now springs another day from this woodland place
soft with mossy grays or starry lichen lace
green the leafy ferns will wake
with scented rains, wet upon the bark
incense cedars drift and swirl
sweet, the air of smoke
until alas the sun, so brilliant comes
from behind a clouded cloak 
and disappears once more 
the dawn that softly spoke.

The Wedding Planner

This post came together in my head as how a classy wedding planner might dress and what furniture accessories she would use while making a couple's romantic dreams come true. One such couple has opted for an outdoor beach wedding. Early in the planning, our wedding planner has invited the couple to the location where the wedding will take place.  She awaits their arrival in a lovely pergola, to discuss the contract, and let the couple relax and experience the setting pre-date.
This beautiful outfit is by Black Swan. The attention to details of the texture is remarkable! I have also included a pic of the back design. There are easily many reasons to add this outfit to your wardrobe - its elegant versatility can take one into a romantic evening, straight into the bedroom with a loved one, or even a fun evening out with friends in style. With a range of accessories the looks are endless! Throw on a jacket or a bolero, try different jewelry colors and combinations.
On to enjoying my Lelutka Mesh Head with a Wow Skins applier at Olala right now!
This is Jayma by Wow Skins, in Dark Tan. For those considering the Lelutka Head plunge, the head hud sliders will also change the intensity of third party applier eye shadow and lipstick. Go from softer natural or add more for a sultry evening look.
Ahh, the couple is late. Image Essentials (my new sponsor, thank you!) made these Woman Sit poses and I will use them while waiting. Let's strike a pretty pose!
My accessory section includes gorgeous nails by Pulcino, stunning earrings by Lushish Catz, and fabulous shoes by Glow Designs.
This mesh build by Kaerri is wonderful. Go check out the store for this set, other amazing furniture groupings or that perfect smaller item to add to your home.
I wanted to feature The Little Branch's handsome Cypress Oak as well. It transitioned nicely from my mountain lake area to seaside. Don't ya just love the landscaping liberties we can take in Second Life?
Still no arrival by the happy couple? A text - stuck in traffic. The champagne and chocolates are all mine!
LOTS OF CREDITS!

Tramp Stampless

You burned a tattoo on my heart that I used to be proud of wearing.
But people don't lie when they say removing a tattoo
is much more painful than getting the tattoo in the first place.
        Quote by Alice Kay
Maybe I'll wait for a real tattoo.
That place isn't open yet anyway.
