Twittering Tales #146, The Gift…
Kat Myrman at Mercury Colliding has provided another interesting photo prompt for a very short story of no more than 280 characters. My first impression of this picture was that it reminded me of marionettes. So here’s my entry this week and you can read all the entries and/or join in by visiting Kat’s site.
Papa, it’s wonderful!
Well, it’s not everyday that a prince turns 10, now is it?
May I make the puppets move?
Puppets? Oh, no, son, they’re not toys. They’re tiny subjects I had created just for you. Now, be gentle —
I’m making this one fly!
Wilhelm, no — his arm!

Parole Board, Twittering Tales #145…
Kat at Mercury Colliding has provided another great photo for a very short story of 280 characters or less. You can see all the stories here!
My heart pounds as I draw a breath.
Yes, Ms. Gray? Something to add?
No, sir, I think my papers are all there.
So it seems. The guard will take you back. The Parole Board will rule next month.
No, please! They said today!

Vegas, Baby…
Luck and lust enveloped us
We were high rollers riding the crest
Doubling down with no worries
Always covering the spread
Vegas was our mecca, baby
Endless lights, pulsing excitement
So blinding that no one noticed
The shell of diamonds was really just paste
We partied in the desert
Washed down a Special K with Dom Perignon
Made breakfast even sweeter
As it tickled and teased and excited
Then warm days became summer and our oasis
Dried up, hot and unforgiving
Luck evaporated with the relentless sunshine
Like champagne puddles in the desert heat
Our love gasped for air as we tried to find
Cool and clean breaths like the night we met
When life was new and fresh
As the breeze after a gentle rainfall
We were supposed to be soul mates
Woven together into sumptuous velvet nights
Now, I make my escape alone, while
You and Vegas glitter in my rearview mirror…

Will you…
Will you take the time to know me
Beyond the secret of my curves
I’ll return the favor
And explore your attributes…
Will you celebrate life’s wonders
Let me see it in your eyes
That you couldn’t live without me
You’d never want to try…
Will you stay with me forever
Or as long as time allows
You see, I can’t release you
I’m afraid I don’t know how…
~~~
I want to dance…
I want to dance
To twirl and feel the air
Lift silken layers and guide your eager
Hands to my hips…
I want to dance
My fingers across your nape
Twine them into your curls
And tug gently till our eyes meet…
I want to dance
Attendance on your lips
To linger thigh to thigh
In a soft cocoon…
I want to dance
But we are caught
as surely as our hands between us
Or our mingled breaths…
We pull apart
You twirl me away
Chiffon floats like a cloud
I want to dance…
