Date Night with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...



#DateNight with Mr. 'n' Mrs. C 🌞❤️🌻...


To celebrate the 3 year anniversary of me living in France with Mr. C we're having #DinnerAndAMovie. I cooked pan seared Spam and mashed potato. Mr. C chose 'The Haunting' 1963 for the entertainment.

QUESTIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS


QUESTIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS


How much of a ghost's image is affected by their view of themself?

Would the ghost of an anorexic person appear obese?

Would the ghost of a sightless person still be blind?

Would the ghost of a crazy person still be mad?

Can a ghost heal? 

Would their appearance improve, wounds fade, as they overcome mental trauma?

Or would they just fade away as their hurts and their hearts ease?

Some Sunbeams are lost in the spotlight,


being on the edge of shadows found.


They have to be coaxed into plain sight,


but their hearts, once ignited, astound.

When she kissed him back, the angel on one shoulder heaved a sigh of relief while the devil on the other just looked smug.

KISS INTERRUPTED


"Unhand her this instant!" A strident voice cut short their embrace.


She turned, her lips going from sensually ripe to an impenetrable line in a skipped heartbeat. "You are presumptuous, sir," her voice was as cold as a false vow. "If I wanted to be 'unhanded' I am perfectly capable of saying so myself."

She was walking past his trailer when he saw the rainstorm bearing down on her. "Come inside! Quickly!"


She knew from the tone of his voice that she should obey. She didn't even look behind herself. She just ran to him.


As he drew her through the door, he took her in his arms. "There's something I've been wanting to tell you," he hesitated.


"It's alright," she said softly, "take your time."


"No." His voice was a soft growl, "I've wasted too much time!"


Her lips were cool and wet from the rain at the leading edge of the storm. The thunder of the hail that followed was just about enough to drown out the pounding of his heart.

THE HEAVENS WEPT


there are tears

in the space-time 

continuum

ripped from the heart

of my universe

floods to water

long dead lunar seas

with the echoes

of wishes

once chanted

to burnt out stars
