Food. Wine. Snow.

Surrender
At the end of the day,
after homework, dinner and baths;
the battle begins; a hopeless dance.
Be productive in relative peace, quiet?
Drop everything , grab the neglected book ?
Run to undo the days dietary mistakes?
Or succumb to the inviting softness
of the freshly made, warm bed...
In hopes of a productive tomorrow
when I can read or run;
not surrender too quickly or soundly
as the white sheets beckon me tonight.

Bare...
As I always am with you.
No pretenses, no barriers, no secrets.
Always lovingly accepted with no disguise.
I cannot imagine any other way
to know a lover, kindred spirit
in this masquerade the world holds,
each day of our complicated lives.

Guilt...
Red velvet cupcakes.
Spinning for 60.
Here's to hoping
that my guilt
(and weight) disappear
as quickly as
that damned cupcake.

Chat...
Our children busy, wrapped in imagination.
Breakfast dishes littering the kitchen table.
You and I, two coffee cups.
The aroma entices us to awaken;
a truth serum for the weary.
Long forgotten antidotes, reminders of events.
Our past, present and future whispered;
treasured on this rare, quiet morning.
My hopes spoken, worries finally revealed
to my faithful confidant, secret keeper.

Share
A very well deserved getaway, alone.
The last slice of adult pizza.
A stolen moment of longing, silence.
The seemingly insurmountable grief of loss.
The joy of seeing our kids.
The worry of parenting the kids.
The very last crumbs of tiramisu.
With you, sharing is not optional.
That is just fine with me.
There is no one who shares
quite as well as you do
all of life's joys and sorrows,
as well as favorite culinary delights;
the warm comforters on cold nights.
