Collecting.


Forget the shells.

Collect my kisses.

Let Me Trace You.


We stared at the mountain line 
and swayed to the beat of the young stars.

"See?" I said, tracing the sky. "It's a profile."
There's the forehead, there's the nose...

"Hmmm," You answered. "I see a profile...but that's no nose."

Sure enough.

Dancing All Night.


When we're making our plans for the night,
don't ask what we should do first.
Ask what we should do last.

Endings are the very best beginnings.

Truth.


My favorite color 
is the blush on your cheeks
when I tell you my truth.

Say Yes.


When you ask if we can run away and live like roadies for the week,
kiss me deep before I answer.

I'm always more agreeable when I'm dizzy.

Another Round, Please.


He couldn't help himself.
Every time he caught sight of her,
she reminded him of sex on the beach.

Not the cocktail.

For Rent.


I don't take up much room.

A little corner.
A shelf or two.
Maybe half your bed. If that.
It's your heart I'm moving into.

National Geographic.


I guarantee
there will never come a day
when you look past me and gasp at a rainbow
or a perfect sunset.
Just consider me your Wonders of the World.
One through seven.

He Was A Very Good Year.


She was one of his regulars.

Ordered always the deepest reds, 
her eyes never leaving his 
while he opened and poured and waited for her to sip.

Just once, he thought. Just once.
She'll breathe me in and taste me.

Just once.

Parked.


Some of the best road trips
never leave the driveway.

 You don't always have to turn on the key
to drive away, you know.

Good Either Way.


No matter how hard I try, I always misspell desert as dessert.

So when I write you a note about 
wanting to make love in the dessert...
I may not mean what you think I mean.

Or maybe I do.

Stormy.


Let me come over before the storm hits.
I'd much rather be together...
than all wet by my lonesome.

Snap.


I want your memory card full of me.

Ride.


You're almost too much fun to ride.
Almost.

Surfing.


My favorite part is still and will forever be
when you unzip me.

Rear View.


No matter where we travel...
behind me will always be the best scenery.
You'll see.

Ready To Wear.


People tell me I dress inappropriately for every occasion.
Bohemian punk when I should be formal.
Evening gowns on camping trips.
What can I say?
I like to surprise.

By the way...the dress code tonight is Black Tie.
And I'm following it this time.
