I want take long drives with my lover—
to feel his hand on my thighs
to hear his voice joining mine,
in a duet,
as we sing along with songs that encapsulates
the soundtrack of our years together.
I want to listen
as he pulls words from his heart
and tell me about his dreads, dreams, and desires.
I want to wear fancy dresses
without being asked where I’m going —
like stepping into a new day isn’t reason
enough to adorn my flesh in fine fabrics.
I want eye conversations that make my lips curl.
suggestive glances,
seductive smiles,
slow kisses
and skin-to-skin conversations.
I want to dine at a table draped in white —
silver utensils,
square plates,
thin rimmed glass that makes my lips feel at home.
I want to take my taste buds on a journey—
to introduce them to the depth of bitters
And the variations of sweetness on my tongue.
I want to engage all my senses
to live loudly in my body
under these stars
in this divine lifetime.

WHAT I’M READING
When I find an author I like, I binge read their work. After reading Erotic Stories for Punjabi Woman by Balli Kaur Jaswal, I had to find her other books. This week, I’m reading The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters.
WHAT I’M WATCHING
- Is it me or is Virgin River on Netflix just stretching on and on like a never ending rubberband?
- I saw the trailer for the new Chef’s Kitchen and I salivated at the screen. I love this series because it is not just about food– it’s about people pursuing their craft, failing at some point but GETTING back up in a new way.
- I watched David A. Arnold: It Ain’t For the Weak on Netflix a few weeks back. He was HILARIOUS. Unfortunately, his death was overshadowed by the Queen’s this past week. If you’re looking for great storytelling via the fine art of stand-up comedy, check out his special with a loved one this weekend. If you do, laughter is in your future. What are you watching?
