Pulses race with empty time
His mustache sweeps
over creamy skin
drinking in sweetness
becoming drunk with need
in a moment defining the bond
they share
a moment needed
more than air they breathe
and as they reach the peak
eyes on each other
they smile
anticipating
next time…

I love the smell of coffee, the taste of coffee ice cream or frozen yogurt, but I’ve never liked coffee itself until just a few years ago…I’ve acquired a taste, but not to drink it black! A little non-fat milk and sweet n low will do the trick or my favorite is a Vanilla Latte (non-fat).
Kim from http://silentlyheardonce.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/coffee-anyone tagged me and I’m actually very late in following through. Please forgive me, Kim. I’m not good at these anymore!
However, since I enjoy meeting friends for coffee these days, I couldn’t pass this up, so here we go…
1) How many cups of coffee per day? One cup, but not necessarily everyday…
2) What is your favorite caffeine delivery system? Well, I love chocolate, dark chocolate, but any chocolate will do, in addition to my coffee favorites (and no whip on the vanilla latte)!
3) What was your best cup of coffee? Our local coffee house is really good, Pete’s Coffee, and it’s there I’ll indulge in my favorite, but Starbucks is convenient, too! There’s been too many great cups to remember just one!
4) What was your worst cup of coffee? Any cup without a little sweetener; I love sweet things in life! ♥
5) What does your favorite mug say? I have a new white mug that my daughter decorated for me. It says “Lauren’s mug” on one side and “Coffee or tea?” on the other, with hearts and happy faces around it. She made a mug for herself, too, after finding the idea on Google.
6) How do you take your coffee? I’m repeating myself now, but a little non-fat milk and sweet n low…
7) When was your first cup? Many years ago, in my younger years!
8) Have you ever gone on a coffee tea date? Not when I was dating (over 25 years ago), however, once or twice a month, I’ll meet some girl friends at Pete’s. I might be crazy, but I love the ambiance in coffee houses…the aromas, old friends catching up, new friends getting to know each other, and of course, the vanilla lattes! There’s just something about talking over a cup of coffee or tea that is appealing to me. I have to admit that I’m in Pete’s more than I should be, so I know everyone by name and they know me. That can’t be good! 🙂
Another week of productivity
has sifted through our fingers
A feeling of accomplishment
pleasantly lingers
Now it’s time for our inner-child
to surface, once again
Time for play and relaxation
with our family and our friends!

HAPPPY FRIDAY AND WEEKEND!
🙂 🙂 🙂
Here’s a Valentine wish
for my hubby to whom I’m smitten
and to all of you
who peek at what I’ve written,
to my dearly missed Mom,
it’s been a year since she’s been gone
to my family who support me,
they’re as strong as the sea
Today isn’t just a day for lovers,
It’s a day of love that covers
everyone who adds
color to your life,
lessens the strife,
adds calm to your crazy,
brings life to your lazy,
and adds love with a hug.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
With many x’s and o’s,
Lauren

It’s in front of you, if you look real close,
and as clear as the vase that holds the rose
You don’t want to miss this profound craze
grab your readers, don’t be in a daze
It’s like a flower, so friendly and cheerful
Go ahead, seek it out and don’t be fearful
Remember the doe and her baby you saw?
After taking this step, you’ll be in awe
When you fall in love for the very first time
nothing can compare to your feeling of sublime
That’s how you’ll feel when you take this chance
You’ll want to get up and dance
Even still, you question my words
Believe me when I say you’ll be singing with the birds
Your life will be changed and you’ll feel truly blessed
When you look real close, you’ll find Happiness

(Yes, it’s really hard sometimes,
but it’s worth trying to focus, isn’t it?)
🙂
larger than life
hovering, invasive
casting shadows
silence,
louder than
thunder’s symphony
with eyes squeezed shut
I see only papered walls
and moving silhouettes
shaking my head
I lie in beads of sweat
gripping the edge
waiting to fall
into the depths…

(Sometimes life brings challenges and we fall into darkness.
This happened to me last fall when our family received
devastating news. After time, I was able to pull out into the light again.
I wish everyone could) ♥
something wacky for
dinner sounds just delightful
I’m making breakfast
