i tumbled

my throat caught a fly ball

my heart played hopscotch

the setting sun reflected off the windshield of his truck

                        framing him for my viewing pleasure

in that instant the rest of the world

was thrown into deep dark shadows

yet there he was

            sparkling in my eyes

           oh yes!!

my golden fantasy man

twilight throbbed in my veins

as he removed his Foster Grants and smiled that perfect smile

savoring that precise moment

             packaging it in a velvet drawstring sac

i tumbled into a fantasy i felt certain would last a lifetime

Here you delightfully describe the way I fall in love pretty regularly. I love the way you capture each little nuance of the scene & express it vividly. There's this certain "look" that many of us have, where we're more likely to have a meltdown *heh! heh! heh!* Fondly Margie

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Margie. Keep falling in love...it will keep you young! :) Lydi**

Men almost always assume it's only them that do a double take and a jaw drop; silly chaps, we're just more subtle and they often need a kick in the rear to notice. :))

Much enjoyed. Beccy.

[Lydia Shutter]

Smiling here...you know it, Beccy! Thanks so much for the review. Lydi**

If I wrote down my fantasies...(Sigh) words wouldnt be enough, I would have to paint them. This is to say, I love your description, the way you jot it down...I give a thumbs up!

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Cassie. Lydi**

[Gee]

Lydia !!! And what are you to do with him if he lands , smiling, into your lap ??? No, don't tell me I blush easily.

[Lydia Shutter]

Giggling here.....perhaps a bit evilly! :) Thank you, Gee. Lydi**

[Gee]

My pleasure

[Kelly Scheppers]

Lol, I'm glad to be walking instead of driving when I see this, myself! I'm telling you, I know exactly where this comes from, Lydi...and I thank you for giving it poetic justice for women everywhere!

; )

[Lydia Shutter]

:) Kelly, always a pleasure to see a review from you....we are on the same wavelength! Hope all is well in your world. Have a great weekend. Lydi**

What a sly rhyming format you use... Clear-cut and expensive feeling... A vivid detailing of that fleeting fantasy that lasts for as long as the mind lets it... Very precise, I like it...

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Silente. Lydi**

[apennylate]

My pleasure...

[Einstein Noodle]

How you do it time and time again Lydi, is almost beyond words, but then, without our words we would lose our craft. I'm in the cab behind checking out the blonde, checking out the guy in the truck up front.

As you may have guessed, I am also curious about what else is in that velvet drawstring sac & so shall read on....N

[Lydia Shutter]

Ah, but I will never tell, my friend! :) Thanks for your always wonderful reviews. Lydi**

[Neville]

Quite right too & my pleasure. N

[AYVID N]

A portrayal so stunning of a beaitiful man, poetry in motion, your words enhanced to glory by the accompanyimg artwork. A treat for all to read.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Divya! Lydi**

[Sami Khalil]

It is amazing how our chemistry works and how those juices flow upon mid stream of desires. It all feels like you want to catch something so bad but it is fleeting from your mind grasp. Very romantic.

[Lydia Shutter]

Sami, I appreciate your reviews very much. Thank you. Lydi**

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome.
