I want sunrises with salt on your lips and me in your arms. I want passions on the sand; our skin tanned from the sun and wet from the surf. The rush of the tide to match our desires. Let me see tomorrow in your eyes Promise me the sea. Copyright (C) 2022 Penny Wilson All Rights Reserved

Endless Summer
You smelled of Patchouli The Stones were on the turntable Smoke was in the air Boone's Farm Strawberry was the flavor of your kisses That summer, endless Our youth, more powerful than we ever knew We were bulletproof and would live forever Tomorrow was a given Copyright (C) 2022 Penny Wilson All Rights Reserved
Summers of My Youth
Sometimes I long for the summers of my youth. When summer days were endless and Grandpa was my hero, the biggest, strongest man I knew. I remember days spent sitting on a summer sidewalk with a hammer and a bag of pecans. Barefoot was the dress code. Bologna sandwiches and playing in the spinkler on the lawn. Going to the drive-in with the station wagon loaded with all the neighbor kids. Brown paper bags of popcorn and falling asleep before the 2nd movie came on. Being tucked into bed, with a tender kiss on my cheek. I recall laying on my back on a hillside watching the puffy white clouds and savouring the tiny drops of nectar from the honeysuckle blossoms. Fireflies in a jar.
Don’t get me wrong, life was hard, damned hard, at times. But I thank God and my Mom, for beautiful memories like these.
Do you have a favorite Summer Memory?
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Penny ❤
Summer Memories

I live in Fort Worth, Texas and it has been horribly hot here lately. I’ve thought about writing about it, but after I saw Biff’s post, I knew I couldn’t top it. Please enjoy his post and be sure to look over his blog while you are there. It’s well worth the visit!
It looks like it’s going to be another scorcher today here in Texas. Which, is pretty much like saying, “It looks like the sun will be coming up again today.” A few days ago when I was driving home from work, the outside temperature (according to my car’s temperature display) was 108 degrees […]

Dusk at the Lake
Dusk at the lake.
I pick cattails and
think of summers
Spent with you.
Lazy days and
Memorable nights.
Sunsets of youth
And angst of desires
Yet undefined.
