This week, I was inspired by blankets of warmth and love…
The Blankets Are Warm
Blankets of snow we watch fall
Covering the earth gently
Making us wish we could crawl beneath
In the crisp winter air
Covering the place in the grass
Itself covered up, and uncovered
While a fire burned nearby
And perhaps prying spying eyes
Another fire in pieces inside
Covering us both where we lay
Once we settle and conform
We feel so together
As together as warmth
Keeping in all the heat
Keeping in all the fire
As we snuggle beneath
Out in the world
We lay together for shows
Questions of lust and fireworks
Falling on us like snow
All our lives are warm blankets
That we sit upon
Or share
Or throw over the both of us
They’re all memories
They all keep us warm and cozy
As we sit in front of the fire
As we stare out into the future

Edward, you’re completely awesome.
Thank you, once again, for pimping out my site.
Much much much love!

Ha ha, nice “pimping out”? I am just the map to the stars.

Thank you for the link up. I love how your muse was a blanket. Its amazing what a big warm blanket can do for romance. Love it.
It IS amazing. A blanket right out of the dryer… and so forth…lol
Once again, your imagery is beautiful. Happy Monday.
Thank you!
sensually beautiful and perfectly romantic..hats off
take a bow 
Awww, thanks.
although perfect…i would just like to add a couple of lines because i have a tough time restraining the words once they are out..
They’re all memories
They all keep us warm and cozy
As we sit in front of the fire
As we stare out into the future
The image makes me smile
As draped in the layer of perfect white
I see a vision down the aisle
As slowly you whisper into my ears
Be mine love…. “i do ”
P.S. i hope u would not mind…just the rambling of a fellow poet
Not at all… lovely verses…
Thanks for SHaring my poem =-)
Thanks for writing it!

Awww Ed, that was so charming. “As together as warmth” ??? I love how your brain works.
Thank you! I like THAT it works. Well, sometimes.
Ha! And the other times? I just finished reading all the contributions – good google there is some amazing talent around! I suppose I should go and eat but I feel like just staring at stuff now. I think I may be over-romanced!!
My-o-my! Thank you so much for sharing my poem, Hotspur. And what a romantic list you have here. I like your poem too…especially this:
All our lives are warm blankets

Or share
Or throw over the both of us
They’re all memories
They all keep us warm and cozy
As we sit in front of the fire
As we stare out into the future
