postcards from paradise: a time spent with old girl friends

nothing says Paradise to me
more than spending time
with old friends
& two of my dearest live nearby
in my favorite ballroom
where i did take you many many years ago ...

yes yes yes !!
here are 2
of my oldest girl friends ...
both of whom
i have known my entire life thus far!!

i present to you miss Spring
who tends to be shy !!

Spring always &
without fail !!
wears flowers in her hair
which i find so charming, don't you ??
{{ a real flower*child even before the 1960s !! }}

I tell Spring my deepest secrets
& she never tells a single soul !!

Spring knew when i was Truly in Love
even before i did myself
{{ each & every time }}

right down here 
in the same neighborhood
lives my old friend Cleopatra ...

not so shy is my Cleo !!
~~she had such a Knowing Look~~
i never told her a thing
i did not want repeated ...

when i was
a great deal younger
i thought Cleo was Mighty Bold
for someone wearing
a chicken~hat on her head ...

later i found out
it was not a chicken~hat at all
but by that time
friends*ship parameters had been set
{{ although i do try not to judge }}

plus, dear Cleo came here from italy,
by way of egypt,
which thrilled me beyond measure ...

when i was an impressonable teenager
Cleo became my Super*Hero
with her smooth but strong shoulders ...

i liked how Cleo seemed to know
exactly
what to do with Spinx
{{ i would have no idea, myself }}

Cleo always dressed
in such a brazen manner !!
i have admired
her devil~may~care attitude my entire life ...

see there --->
down the ballroom to the east
is where i keep my throne ...
{{ that is young mr. mercury
on the right who keeps
a vigilant eye on things }}

yes yes yes
time well~spent with old girl friends !!
hope you enjoyed meeting them...
if you should chance
to visit them in person
in the ballroom,
please do not sit down on my throne
as guards will come ...
{{ trust me }}

Lovely to meet your dear friends. They live in such beautiful surroundings. I won't sit on your throne ;)

How I enjoyed meeting your dear girlfriends. So much like you they are...in their quiet knowing ways.

I am the one...you know...that would sit in your chair

I am the one that gallery and museum guards follow, attached at my hip...Knowing I WILL touch.

somepinkflowers,
Your confidantes and girlfriends are so lovely and have such a mythical air about them. I love these photographs that you have shared with us and that you shared your intimate secrets with gods and goddesses as you came of age.
xoxo,
