“Ro, the producer feels having you on the show as my wife is making the other women on the set self-conscious. Any expression of affection from them they feel is suspect. Now I know this is malarkey. But I have to please the management. Otherwise, it is back to a forty-hour week and late nights away from home. And I want to spend my evenings with you instead of in a stuffy ad office.”
“Well, I never! If I’m making your costars uncomfortable then you are right I don’t belong there. In fact, maybe I just don’t belong in the same bed as you. This...

Yoga With Holly
Yoga With Holly
One evening Fatima and I are inside the yoga studio. The class ends and the sweaty people disperse. My sweetheart Fatima and I linger in the room. We face Holly who stands resolute.
A strange sensation erupts in me. I tell Holly that my legs are pulling apart. She wants to go with this phenomenon. I let my legs split while Holly gives me a boost from behind with her right-hand perineum lift. She grips my thigh with the womanly strength of her left hand. My primal moan grows with the widening spread of my legs....

“Doug, my sister auditioned for a part in a TV miniseries. I must confess I’m a little unsettled by the role she is trying out for.”
“Well good for her. Another TV starlet in the family. What is she auditioning for?”
“A woman who seduces very old rich men to marry her to inherit their wealth.”
“Sounds like the perfect character for her to play. What is for din-din darling?”
“But sweetie Bianca and I look alike. Her being a TV vamp may attract unwanted attention for me in public. The preview of her is already being...

Autumn Voices - A Dream
Autumn Voices - A Dream
Old house with doors to the past
Where the collective dream
Forms a group living for offbeat humanity
Our personas find asylum
Amongst faded wallpaper rooms
And my priestess of emotional healing
Sits upstairs after a days supervision
So I enter her space in need of nostalgia
After gathering my own rosebuds
“My depression is slowing me down.
Like molasses on a cold winter day.
I’ve been neglecting my chores.”
She unlocks an attic door
Into a roofed in reality
Where photo...

“Rowena, a new girl will make an appearance on our show. She will be a love interest for my junior partner in the fictional insurance company. Don’t worry your pretty little head but she wants me to show her the ropes in love scenes.”
“Invite her over for the noon meal. At least I’ll be part of it when you do the lunch thing with her.”
“Smashing idea sweetheart, be sure to fix your better than sex rhubarb pie.”
“Now that you’ve introduced sex into this conversation with regards to the young lady I am a bit miffed.”
“Oh, don’t go...

Doug comes home with some unsettling news. “Ro, my TV land wife is with child and wants to be a stay at home Mom.”
“You called her wife instead of the leading lady.”
“Think but this, and all is mended, that every pout advertises some lipstick and each wink is a sales pitch for mascara, while kisses are the promise of a lost passion to find its song again with Aloe Vera skin glow.”
“Your kissy-face costar is a sore subject, but not so different than...

A Florida State of Mind
A Florida State of Mind
A raffled cigar
Won’t take you far
In the no-smoking area of life
But tobacco has its own scent
During the ascent into misty eyes
Of a darling woman in red pumps
Whose dreams go south for the winter
Looking for sunken treasure off Key West
But not dressed for scuba diving
With her evening gown out on the town
Seeking the ark of a marital covenant
To get tight with a lover undercover
On her lost sea of tears
With a bottle of magic potion
For moody days on the golf course
Where love is...

Smitten: Sister Trickster
One fine morning at the Sweeney’s home trickery is afoot. Rowena brings home an ice cream cake for her birthday man. When he scoops a handful of the frozen dessert he sneaks it into her skirted panties like a malt spilled by a waiter from his tray upon her soon to be goose-bumped derriere where nary a taste bud lies.
“Frozen vampire tears! Cold as a mortician’s hands,” Ro exclaims until sister Bianca appears.
Rowena says, “Did you get my man drunk?”
Bianca replies, “Well I didn’t hold the cup to his mouth and...

Ole Sam Just Don’t Know when to Quit
Ole Sam Just Don’t Know when to Quit
Streetwise there is no more to life
Than a guitar strum by varicose veined arms
Of a minstrel who couldn’t give up smoking
Without lying to himself
Because it was too late for lungs to repair
What God and nicotine hath wrought
When fate had its way with him
On the downslope of the up feeling
Like when the lights are dimmed to let the night in
And the off chance of a soulful groove
Takes him by surprise
When he plays to a crowd
Too young die ...

Rowena seeks reassurance from Doug’s television wife. Ro says, “Listen, I know you’re only Doug’s wife on TV but, please, tell me those steamy kisses are all fake.”
The actress says, “Smooching with him is like doing it with my cousin.”
Ro replies, “Your cousin is a surfer dude built like a locomotive. So that isn’t reassuring.”
In private his real wife, Rowena, asks:
“Those kisses look pretty passionate. Do they ever turn Frenchie?”
Doug says, “It is all for the ratings honey. There is no more passion than kissing...

Later at the Sweeney’s residence, Ro lets Doug think her girlfriend is in the kitchen to keep her company while she performs proper housewife duties. But unbeknownst to him, Rowena is giving her dishwasher hands a break.
“Oh girl, I’ve meddled with Doug’s pride. He’s mad because I came up with designs for his lingerie ads when he was stumped. I tried to pull the thorn out of his lion’s paw by telling him I had a closer relationship to my underwear than he did. You know speaking of lingerie we should have a pajama party for just us...
