Strippers, Nymphs, and Pastries

Summer's holy heat
that thermal throbbing beat
turns us all into strippers
that hate clothing and worship water.
We become nymphs and mermaids
frolicking in the waves
and splashing into the arms of our lovers.
Strolling on the beach
the warmth of the sand beneath
our feet;
romance is grand; in the Summer.

Fall's cooling breeze
beckons us to watch the leaves
as they turn into golden bronze shells
that blow away and crunch beneath our feet.
The sky becomes blue again
and the white cotton candy clouds
dance thru the sky -
begging us to watch them
as they float gently by.
The gentle chill of autumn
lends to touch and embrace
to warm up every place
that needs it.

And then we have Winter
with the frost of it's bite
that requires us to have someone
to hold thru the night.
Snowball fights lend to heated angry passion;
Sleigh rides give excuses
to wrap legs and arms about each other
holding tight as we fly down the side
of an icy hill; with wet moist chill.
As the darkened skys begin to fall
couples kiss, kuddle and kurl-up
in front of the flames
of a roaring fireplace.
One can virtually hear the "ring" of romance.

Which brings us back to Spring
With Painted butterflies
sprinting from flower to flower.
The pastel pastries
of yellow, white, and pink
pretending to be daisies and pansies
that sway and play to our passions.
Just a faint touch of warmth
begins to flow
teasing and pleasing our pleasures for more.
The earth yawns and awakens slowly;
sprouting forth all the condiments needed
for the recipe of love.
