I said enough

sometimes a little is a lot

I looked you in the eyes,
I held your hand,
I kissed you.
I didn't give you
all the words I wanted to,
but I gave you the ones
I could give coherent form,
and you would understand.

With that declaration,
you smiled,
helped me with my things,
and smacked my a*s,
on the way out the door.
who needs words?
when your hands
say so much more?

Oh, my soft underbelly never shows for too long.

well now, isn't this a tease... I am wondering WHY you can't voice coherent thoughts and why a smack on the a*s and not a kiss.. doesn't feel all lovey dovey... I smell trouble.... something is "fishy" here... made me think this morning ma'am... need more coffee...

[Lyn Anderson]

Well, think away, part deux is up. Kisses are sometimes followed by somethings, and lovey dovey is scary to me.

A little vignette of life, a few words in the grand scheme, but they express so much. Well done, yet again ma'am.

[Lyn Anderson]

Well, thanks. It is a little snippet.

[Frieda P]

So that's how it went down....I can dig the little slap on the a*s, kind of leaves me hanging though, just saying....

[Lyn Anderson]

part deux coming up

[Frieda P]

Oh I'm so impatient....

Ooo I love this one. Yes sometimes its not the words that tell us so much.

[Lyn Anderson]

You are right, of course. Been told the words too often. They never amounted to more than a hill of beans, or a pile of manure, as the case may be.

[ron]

Lol. Sometimes its the actions that say more then words can.

[Matching Socks]

I did not see the smack on the a*s coming. :)
Goode writing! :-P

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha 'M' a sweet little reminder that small gestures can mean such a lot in a flowing verse that paints the scene well.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much, going to fix this one up a bit. I actually fell asleep in the middle of writing it.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Who needs Zoplicone lol!

[Lyn Anderson]

I take it that's a sleep aid?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yup sure is!!!
