Surrounded by Love
Many years together
In the middle of the night
Between hot flashes
Trips to the bathroom
Dog snoring and shaking
A quiet snuggle with her
Last night as many nights
I called her my flower
Last night she said
"I love being your flower"
Then somehow we both fell out
Sleep is a luxury
As is our love
In the middle of the night
Between hot flashes
Trips to the bathroom
Dog snoring and shaking
A quiet snuggle with her
Last night as many nights
I called her my flower
Last night she said
"I love being your flower"
Then somehow we both fell out
Sleep is a luxury
As is our love
Author's Note
We got married the first time in early April many years ago. City Hall ceremony. Didn't tell to many people. Wanted to put her on my health insurance. BIG wedding in September of that year. My shining star 🌟

It was a great moment in the middle of the night. I paint what I call hybrid florals. I just make them up as I go. I'm an abstract painter so I take some liberties.
I appreciate your comment !
Thank you

Good call.
White is a make or break color. Really challenging and often rewarding when done well.
Thanks again !

It's play by play at night.
Lots of activities that don't include a lot of sleep. Crazy

I meant to tell you that I could pick one of your paintings out in a massive gallery. Your style is unique and so expressive of your bold personality.

That's a really nice thing to say OH.
Been at it for years on and off as life gets in the way often. But I really feel art and love making it.

Do you ever sell your paintings? If not, you could make an income off them, if you did sell

I've been selling them on ebay but sales are difficult. I have 29 auctions running at the moment. I sold 7 so far. 23 years ago I sold quite a bit of art on ebay. I was in at the beginning. I've sold some paintings privately over the years. If I ever retire I'll do more with it. I love making art so it's a bonus when I sell some.
Thx

And the watercolor has the perfect blend of colors. The hues reminiscent of hopefulness. The shades of Spring when everything is new and beautiful.

I do like doing watercolor. It scares me in some regards as it's harder to control but when I want mood and aura I do florals...
BIG THANKS MARY

Your beautiful painting matches the beautiful words. This is wonderful! And I'm smiling at this version of you that you're showing with your poem. And it shows in the painting a lot.

I've got many sides like most people.
I don't show this side as much but maybe I will some more as people tend to relate to him. It gets complicated sometimes ...
Many thanks for the nod on the poem, art and private me !!

Dear H,
We often have conversations in the middle of the night when both of us are not sleeping. She reads a lot so fills me in on a lot. Last night's discussion was about Vice President Henry Wallace and Harry Truman. Strange bedfellows for sure. Throughout the conversations the dog sleeps soundly as she should.
Appreciate your comment and treasured RL.
More to come
Stay tuned
Thx
