Welcome to this week's edition of Tuesday Tales. Don't forget to stop by and read the other awesome tales at: Tuesday Tales . I decided to do something a little different this time. I wanted to share a poem from: Reflections - A Collection of Love Poems. Twilight of Desire Lost in the twilight of desire, hidden behind an eclipse, but found on a summer day. Should there ever be a lonely day. I just close my eyes and think of you. A bond so thick it cannot be broken. A tender kiss, passion so real and full of life, it scares me to death. It’s a feeling so real you would kill for it. There’s a history between us, and I’m having the time of my life. My inner self has surfaced and the feelings inside me have erupted. The excitement from within me, grows stronger and stronger every day. Each time we unite as one, the passion gets better and better. When the lights go down, the moonlight shines in your eyes, I see the hunger in them for me. Come to me and reveal the truth of your i...

Best Friends All my life, I looked for that special man who will stop me in my tracks. That special man who will make my heart skip a beat, keep a permanent smile on my lips, and turn my tears of sadness into tears of joy. A lover who is also my best friend. Who’s there for me in my darkest moments and in my moments of glory. A lover whose hugs are a priceless gift, kisses which make me melt, and a simple touch that makes my eyes glow. That special man who listens, communicates, supports and accepts me for me. The most precious feature about that special someone is knowing that when I close my eyes, I’m wrapped in his arms, waking up beside him, and sharing tomorrow.

Alexandra tied the belt around her red and white fleece robe, the one Billy had waiting for her after making love. Billy had strategically planned out the day and didn’t miss a single thing. The matching robes added the finishing touches, leaving her hungry for more days like today. Billy must have added more legs to the fire while she slept. A green and red wool blanket with reindeers covered her naked body when she woke up. The smell of freshly baked scones took over the room. Before she called out to him, Billy appeared at her side two mugs of coffee, two small dishes and a basket full of scones and muffins on her grandmother’s metal tray, placing it down on the floor in front of the fire. The tray brought back so many memories of her grandmother who took it out every year at the Holidays. “Breakfast is now being served by the fire.” “I see.” Billy handed her a mug. A cinnamon stick replaced the spoon and whipped cream in the shape of a bell floated in the center of the m...

Alexandra wiped the ice off her black and white ski pants. For the past hour, Billy and she had been ice-skating on the lake down the road from her house. Billy stole the show with his strategic skating steps, while she spent most of the time on her butt. She’d fall, Billy would pick her up, and then she’d skate a few feet before landing back on her butt again. The day was just perfect with the scent of snow heavily evident. Every time she took a deep breath, she’d exhale, seeing her breath. She hated the cold weather and seeing your breath, definitely wasn’t a good sign. It only meant that winter has arrived, with the snow to shortly follow. She fell again, this time right on her butt. This time she went hysterical. Looking across the pond, Billy skated, and when he saw her down, he skated across the pond. “I think it’s time to call it a day,” Billy said, helping her up one last time. “Yeah, I think you’re right.” Within minutes, she had her skates off and UGGS on. “I’d ...

It's finally here.

Reflection is available at Amazon , Barnes and Nobles and Smashwords . Reflections is a collection of love poems that take you on a magical journey through the inner depths of one's heart and soul.

They are written for those who have met or are searching for their soul mate. Here's a sample: Anticipation I wake up in the morning to a gorgeous sunset, the scent of the ocean, a warm breeze blowing the curtains wild in sheer anticipation of knowing that I will soon be in your arms. I grab my cup of coffee sit on the front porch, taking in deep breaths staring down the street wa...
