A Momentary Reverie

Happiness
Seeping from me
A momentary reverie
A giddy me
A detoxing
Clearing my pores
And emptying
The years of grime
Built up in me
I’m jubilant
And bubbling
I breathe it in
The steamy me
It’s cleaning me
To gleaming me
And leaving room
For being me
Revealing pure
Unbridled me
Buoyant
But temporarily
I am brand new
Untouched and free
An exposed layer
Of virginity
Oh newborn joy
Oh what will be
With this untested
Cleansed
Immunity

This is so good. And also very sexy.
(Yes, I know, not an expected response)

- Thank you…and yes I am quite surprised that you found it sexy. That is so unlike you. 😉

  - Laughing. It is. Perhaps it is you that is sexy, dear April, rather than the words.

    - Much less so than you give me credit for, but thank you.

    - Uh oh, USA may play England in the Women’s World Cup Final. May have to throw some smack talk your way on Sunday. 😉. Good luck tonight against Japan. P.S. The mommy poetry reveals my less than sexy side…see I told you. I’m pretty boring.

    - Smiles. I think Japan may prove just too good. But by all means.
      What’s wrong with a yummy mummy?

    - Ha ha…what I like best about that is that your use of the word mummy makes me think of Halloween. (Although I know that is not what you mean) Which is my favorite holiday. Hmmm….a fun costume for this year. Well, good luck to your team. 🇬🇧

    - We never mix up mummy and mummy in our minds. Smiling.
      As I feared, not quite good enough. Never mind, a fine tournament for them.

    - I know, but I do. I am sure it shows a lack of class on my part…or a head for Halloween. 🎃 Yes, I saw that about the game. So sorry. But, I am looking forward to Sunday’s game.
