The Goodness of Laughter

Who wants to meet for coffee?

Laughing til our faces hurt
Laughing til we can’t breathe
Laughing til our stomach muscles hurt
Laughing til the laughter spreads to the people next to us
Laughing til the laughter
Sprouts wings
Fluttering down the lane
Infecting all in its path
Taking to the skies
Bringing laughter to the clouds
The sun, the stars, the moon

When the wave of laughter subsides
We take a deep breath, sip our coffee
And think how good this felt
There is nothing that compares to this type of joy shared together.

Fun one written for Sexy Grown Folks Poetry event on February 24 2024. Mixture of my own words and song lyrics.

Dive Into Your Ocean

I’m coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show

There’s a new me coming out
I am gonna do it
Like you never knew

I’m spreading love
There is no need to fear

Let me talk to em
With them apple bottom jeans
Boots with the fur

Shake your booty
You can, you can
Do it very well

I know a place we can go
I just wanna be with you

Sail into the mystic
Smell the sea
Feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit
Fly into the mystic

I want you to rock my gypsy soul
Together we’ll float into the mystic

I want to dive into your ocean
talk to me like lovers do
I want to kiss like lovers do
So baby
kiss me like lovers do

Sweep me off my feet
Kiss every inch of my body
Stroke me
Kiss me more
Kiss me more
Kiss me more
Then let me wrap myself around you

Let’s get it on
We’re all sensitive people
With so much to give

Hey you, over there
On the chaise longue
In your underwear
What are you doing sitting down
You should be horizontal now

I want to feel your lips on mine
Feel your tongue in my mouth
Look into your eyes

I want to feel your breath, your lips
On my neck, on my, ahhhhhh ….

Tastes like strawberries
On a summer evenin’
Breathe me in
Breathe me out
Let’s get high on each other

Say my name

Love is gonna rise up
It sounds like a whisper
Talkin’ about passion

Mississippi Queen
Way down around Vicksburg,
around Louisiana way
You know she was a dancer

Baby hold on to me
I want to do it til the sun comes up
I want to do it til I can’t get enough

Be my mirror,
reflect what I am,
Lips like sugar,
sugar kisses
Oh,
babe,
I wanna taste your lips,
I wanna be your fantasy
Walk this way,
Talk this way,
Just give me a kiss
I want a little sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness down in my soul
I could stand some lovin’
Oh so bad

I want a little steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things so they’ll go

What’s the matter daddy
Come on save my soul
I need some sugar in my bowl

Let’s have the time of our life
Saturday night and the lights are low

Free your mind
And the rest will follow
Freedom’s just another word
for nothing left to lose.

My poetry friends sang me Happy Birthday last night, and treated me like a Queen. ❤️❤️❤️ Full house last night, with wonderful poetry shared.

Lillian wrote a poem for me; which I shared. It was a hit! (Lillian is my 22 year old special needs daughter) She totally understood the assignment. 😁

The mermaids of the sea bow down
To the queen of the oceans
Bravely dancing

In the seas of love and the heart of kindness
Dances the braveness of the mermaid
Of my heart of friendliness

Swimming into the dancing sea of stars
The mermaid dances to the song
Of life bravely and free
To the mermaids of sea
Lillian Darnell – 2024

I wrote a poem titled, “Me”. I’ll share that one in a separate post.

**THROWBACK POST**

September 29 2013:

Another cool find in the GREAT EMAIL PURGE of 2013!! This one’s from a year or two ago.

A newspaper clipping from the 1974 Manning Family Reunion! These people didn’t mess around. They ran these family reunions like a business. I was at this one but was only 4 years old so don’t remember it. My Mammaw is the 3rd one from the left in the back with glasses on: Estelle Mann. She is cousins with Archie Manning.

Last night was a freaking blast. Sexy, steamy fire was delivered by all!!! 🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔥 I wrote two poems. Here’s one.

Bones of it written in June 2023, with new material added February 24 2024

Surrender

I will not settle down
I will not behave.
I will give myself amnesia
For how I was taught
I’m supposed to be

I will begin to remember anew
Making my way
With Authenticity
Waking every day
Expressing myself real and raw

Let my gravity
Be the force
That pulls you
To me

I feel it.
It’s pure ecstasy.
As my body dissolves into yours.

Pure ecstasy
I quiver with it.

You feel it.
It’s pure ecstasy
Pure ecstasy
You feel like you will explode.

You want it
I want it
I want your touch
A touch that makes the little hairs on my arm rise

I want your feel
I want to run my fingers along
every inch of your body

I want your scent
A scent that stays with me,
Lingers in my clothes, my hair
And on my body

I want the taste of you
In my mouth
I want my taste buds to
Memorize you
So my mouth waters when you’re near

Your beautiful soft skin
Deep dark eyes
Thick black eye lashes
Luscious, full lips
Warm, bright smile.

The more I get
The more I want
The more you get
The more you want
The more we get
The more we want.

You want my lips
You want my body
You want my eyes gazing into yours
You want to see my warm smile
You want me pressed against you.

Luscious, passionate kisses
Soft caressing of my body,
of your body,
Your touch, your kisses, make me lose control
My legs wrapped around your body
Makes you lose control.

Desire filled embraces
Hands intertwined
Gazing deep into
each other’s eyes.

Our plump lips
Gently touching
Mouths open
Tongues touch
Excites, ignites.

Every kiss
Reminding me
What it’s like to empty my mind
To let go

Kisses of molasses that leave a trail
Of rose petals scattered
On the trail to my heart

Clothes come off
Bodies become one
The heat increases
Hands sliding and gripping
The pleasure so intense
Audible groans of pleasure.

Bodies quiver
Bodies come together as one
Embrace, kissing passionately
Gazing into each other’s eyes.

Bodies climax together
They relax into each other’s embrace
They snuggle closely
Relaxing into each other’s touch.

I feel it
You feel it
The more we get
The more we want.
