Who I'd like to meet: like minded soulful honest creative types
You and your classy imagine of beauty flow in and out of a dream, as raindrops sing a love song with you in the arms of love while sitting by a fire that you start, and never put out. I set back the clock to give you more time to dream of a love and that special lover. May joy rain down on you like Seattle rain. Close your eyes and feel kisses raining down and covering you, like a warm Caribbean shower I hope you are having a good week, for everything you seek, and for all you need, starting from the next breath you take, until your last eye flicker before you fall asleep, and to dream of all the things that bring you pleasure
Here is a passages from my best selling romantic erotic novel, BRUSH STROKES, order your copy from Amazon. com “A man may admire what a woman does for a living; he may admire her education and social circle. He may be enamored with her physical beauty, but he only truly falls in love, with the softest and warmest part of her, her soul.”
