“All the same you are just playing games.”
Well, at least I am not calling names.
At least now I am not.
When the feuding gets hot,
who knows what we will use for our flames?

This one is an LOL – I know I did after I finished writing it. Of course, self-admittedly, I regularly LOL at my own jokes!

The ridiculous remark about something being “better than sex” is most often used about eating something – an extravagant restaurant meal, a fancy dessert or a special dish whipped up by a loving partner. I suppose, it is some sort of complimentary remark made by someone who isn’t getting any and possibly trying to remedy that situation. Good luck with that.
And I know there are situations involving physical limitations where the expression (or the thought behind it) is used to make the best of the bad situation.

It’s been a while since I did one of these Classic Art Meme limericks. I saw this one today and it was screaming for five lines of wisdom, wit and rhyme, so I made it happen.

Though the light said it’s day, it was night.
I could see. What a horrible sight!
There were monsters out there.
There were goons everywhere,
but in peace I slept on through their fright.

Paragraph
By Jeanne Marie And Charles Robert Lindholm
I Can Hear The Silence
As It Whispers . . .
What Could Have Been
Will Never Be.
As Bittersweet Memories
Replay In My Mind
And My Soul Knows Why
As My Heart Cries
In The Darkness
Of The Night
And Tears Fall
Upon My Pillow

His grace is all I need.
His strength shines through my weakness
and in my weakness I rejoice.
He shines his strength through me.
2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV – And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Opposite Day, celebrated annually on January 25th, is a fun, unofficial holiday where people say the opposite of what they mean and reverse their daily routines…It encourages lighthearted silliness, such as eating dessert for breakfast, wearing clothes backward, or saying “goodbye” when arriving. – Google AI Overview

When I Am Alone
In The Darkness
I Remember How Much
I Long For Your Touch,
And Your Body,
And Skin
Gently Pressing
Down Upon Me
With The Weight
Of Your Desires
Melding And Burning
Against The Fiery Passions
Of My Body And Skin
Until We Are One
I Still Thrill,
When I Remember
The Scent
Of Your Skin
And Us Giving In
To Temptations
My Luscious Lips,
Your Naughty Whispers,
And Lingering Kisses,
Made Us Surrender,
So Willingly,
So Eagerly,
To Sin
You Released
A Pent Up Tiger,
Letting Me
Yield To My Inner
Hunger
My Red Painted Nails
Like Claws,
Dig Into Your Back,
As I Lose Control
Unable
To Be Tamed,
Thrashing
Underneath You
Until You Grab
My Hands,
And We Intertwine Fingers,
In A Vise Grip
As I Scream
And Roar
I Feel
Your Volcanic
Eruption
Coming
As I Beg You,
Don’t Stop!!
I Impulsively
Arch My Back
As We Rush
Into The Ecstasy
Of Oneness,
Together
And,
As I Hear Him
Coming Home
From The Swing Shift
I Run To Meet Him
At The Door
And With
A Racing Heart
I Whisper
In His Ear,
“It’s You
I Need, Baby,
I Need You
To Take Me,
NOW!!”

He Brought Her
A Tasty Dream Treat,
Strawberries And Whip Cream
And Then Held One
On The Tip Of Her Tongue
And Watched Her
Slowly Savor It,
Teasing Him With
Her Tongue
And Her Eyes
Perfectly Delicious,
Fluffy Cream
A Big Juicy Berry
With A Sweet Flavorful Taste
Better Than Candy
Swirling The Flavor
Around In Her Mouth
With A Sensual Delight
Taking A Berry
Off Of The Tray
And Covering It
All In Whipped Cream
She Said, “This Is For You”
As She Placed It Gently
Between Her Teeth
And Lips With A Smile
As All The While
She Locked Her Eyes
On His Eyes
And Held
The Stare
As She Moved
Her Mouth
To His Lips
In A Primal
Offer Of Food,
A Sign Of Love
And Affection
He Moved Forward
To Accept The Berry
Intending To Take
A Tiny Bite
When She Surprised Him
By Pushing Forward
For A Strawberry
And Whipped Cream
Kiss Between Them
He Wrapped His Arms
Around Her Tightly
As She Held His Face
In Her Hands
As Two Tongues
Pushed And Played
With A Strawberry
And Whipped Cream Treat
Until It Was Consumed,
But Left Lips
And Mouths
And Bodies
Longing
And Wanting
More
Aroused
For Some
Afternoon Delight,
Some Tickling
And Playful Teasing,
Unwrapping Each Other
Made Their Hearts
Start Pounding,
And Their Bodies Ache
As They Rushed
Into Oneness
And The Sweetness
Of Bliss
Afternoon Delight,
Strawberries And Whipped Cream
And Each Other,
Their New Favorite
Memory

She Heard The Door
Firmly Shut Behind Her
Then Slowly Turned Around
To Take A Final Look
As The Whisper From Her Heart
Said,
“Sometimes
There Is No Going Back”

Polka dots are a classic pattern of filled circles, popular in fashion and decor, that evolved from medieval symbols of disease to a fun, versatile design, named after the polka dance craze in the 1840s; they range from playful to sophisticated, appearing in various sizes, colors, and styles, famously used by Minnie Mouse. National Polka Dot Day primarily honors Minnie Mouse, who is widely credited with making the polka dot pattern a fashion staple. Fans celebrate by “Rocking the Dots,” which involves wearing polka-dotted clothing or Disneybounding as Minnie Mouse. – Google AI Overview

Staring out the window
Lost in time,
In The Fantasies
And Memories
Of Him,
Replaying In My Mind
As The
Urges
Surges
Of Desire
And Delight
Deep Within
My Body,
Live Again
With The Sweet
Smell Of Sin
Still Burning
In My Soul

I’m shocked that there are shapes at all
for me to touch or see.
I’m grateful, too, for me and you,
two shapes, two ways to be.

Cheese has been a part of food cultures around the world for five millenium. There are so many different kinds of cheeses. And people around the world love it all …even the stinky stuff.
And in keeping with the recent Thesaurus day, I went to the well with this limerick.

Imagination Day celebrates creativity, innovation, and the power of the mind. This day encourage thinking outside the box, problem-solving, and celebrating human potential.
Imagination is the mind’s ability to form new ideas, images, or concepts of things not present to the senses, combining past experiences or creating entirely new scenarios, crucial for creativity, problem-solving, and understanding hypothetical situations. It’s the faculty that lets us picture the unreal, invent stories, plan the future, and appreciate art, acting as a bridge between internal thoughts and external reality.

Though some thought that it should be a crime
and it was, more or less, for the time
when dark poems with words
like loud ravenous birds
made no sense and much worse didn’t rhyme.

she wants to keep the key
it seems rather strange
since she’s left
the city
the state
and me
she needed to distance me
with time
with miles

What am I to You?
a spouse, a friend, a lover
a ship passing in the night
a momentary pleasure
a memory with no name
What am I to You?
a soulmate for a lifetime
a playmate for a good time Continue reading →
