The King of Butter

Slippery!!!

I awoke with a message for my love

Carried safely on an azure pillow made of crepe

On a crimson note, two words dashed in ink

Remember me

And you might if you dream of romance and water

Giving away your daily concerns for those that capture

A life worth living and then some, drink hastily and don’t spill

For the drop that misses your lips may be the one

That lubricates

And if by morning time the birds arrange for a meeting of the minds 


Do not let them speak gravely of my soul in South America

The summer heat is no match for the fire in my heart, melting

I am the king of butter, and I will drip fiercely

Between the cracks of your toasty thoughts, spreading nicely

With purpose

So sing with all that you have and dismiss if you must

This call to my side and settle into your curse

But I will tell you once more, that this side has weight

And over spilled wine and silky paella with scallops

You may be able to find in my eyes what you have missed so long

And enjoy the richness of a touch of butter churned for you

The queen

Even before I saw this title in my reading library, I was thinking about writing an ode to butter today! I just had a very buttery scone that got me on that wavelength. We are on a similar buttery wavelength I suspect. You have taken butter in all the best directions. You dabble in the ways butter can be both delicious & provocative! I love your playfulness, your flirtiness, & your hearty appetite in every sense of the idea (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

"I will drip fiercely

I'm still riding the waves of your "Puppy Dreams"...what an extraordinary thought process!
