Ermilia’s Picture it & write (Sunday 25 November 2012)
Once again, here is my offering to ‘Picture it & write’ hosted by Ermilia (Ermisenda and Eliabeth) who invite others to join them by writing a fictional story or poem to accompany an image presented on their blog.

Her hair streamed across the floor.
Our love oozed into the weathered boards.
Never had we felt such tenderness.
It had begun a month ago.I saw her and my heart leapt out of my chest.
I could barely believe my eyes.
She was gorgeous.
Her body not only excited me, it enraptured me.
The curves of her voluptuous form enticed me to continue; they seemed to go on forever.
Her name was Paula.
Paula, I had thought.
Oh, Paula, if only I could be with you.
Huh, me with you; I had thought.
What chance did I have with a girl like you?
None; yeah, absolutely none.
And yet, here I am on the floor with you with every nerve in my body aching for you.
Oh, please do not disturb me.
Oh, please allow me this time with you.
Let me drink your spirit; let me sip your wine; allow me to show you heaven’s door.
Oh, but I ache.
Oh, but I swoon.
Oh, but I cannot believe I am lying here with you in my arms.
And yet, your flowing red locks adorn my weathered boards, and my heartiest longings.

Very romantic!
Indeed, Joe…! Something I love; a little romance…! 😉
I starting mine now. Watch this space!
I’m on the alert…! 🙂

Ooooh, Caroline…. soft and tender is wonderful… passion is delightful…!
Thank You… 🙂
Romantic… intense!!!! You are a passionate one. Love it!
Age certainly has its benefits… Ha ha…
Today I don’t mind admitting to romance and passion…! 😉
Very passionate post 🙂 xxx love the curls 🙂

Passion is gooood…..! 🙂
Your words really captured me in this piece. Brilliant!
Your piece is wonderful…
Scary: We think along very similar lines…..! 😉
Great minds think alike!
Agree….! 🙂
Awesome piece….Lovely pace, lovely representation….
Thank You so much, Priyash…
A lovely comment..
When I was growing my hair I got a little piece similar to this to tie my ponytail with 🙂 – it worked very well (I have very fine hair 😦
Yes, I have a little piece I sometimes wear for dancing…!
We are lucky to have such little ‘enhancements’…! 🙂
A charming love story.
We girls love a little ‘love’, Kim…!
I think the fellas do too…! 🙂
Absolutely love your use of “enraptured.” Very tender piece.
It is a lovely word! 😉
Thank You… I must hurry over and put a link to it…!
It made me go all squishy 🙂 Ralph x
Squishy is good, Ralph…. I go ‘squishy’ quite often…. 🙂 xoxoxo
🙂 *squished*
xoxoxo 🙂
My my…that is VERY sensual! But beautifully written. And really you got the romantic voice right.
Coming from a bloke; that’s a great comment…. Thank You…! 🙂
Had to say it, as you really did – usually just doesn’t work – when a male writer tries to female voice or the other way round, but you caught it just right, catching the romantic male soul and desire. You really did. If you hadn’t got that voice right it just…well…would have been ok, but he really spoke in ways I recognise.
Thank You for that…!
I’m always a little afraid that my male interpretation may sound a little girly, so I’m really pleased when a male makes such a comment as yours… Truly…! 😉
My little heart is singing….! (See what I mean – !?!) 🙂
Well..a male might not say ‘little heart, true – but you really put your finger on it there – you didn’t go too far in the opposite direction and make him sound ridiculously ‘butch’ and tough. To be really honest it was so authentic I rechecked twice you had really written it!
Now, that’s a compliment, Thank You again…!
I write (as a male) the way I’d like to be treated (and indeed I am treated in this way today… thank goodness).
I don’t want too butch, and I don’t want too soft and mushy.. A male who can own his emotional body whilst trusting in his masculinity is a real turn on for most girls, me thinks…! 😉
Quickly wrote one for Picture it & write, and made my gal tough in response!
”own his emotional body” sounds intriguing, but I know what you mean!
Sighhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Oh Carolyn, I just love, love! Thank you for this passionate piece!
Oh, swoon, swoon, dear Resa….!
A little romance goes such a loooooong way..! 🙂
xoxoxo
😉 xoxoxoxo
Hard core romance and fulfilled dreams. Well done!
I like that phrase: Hard core romance….! 😉
Give me hard core romance any day…! 🙂
You’re a bit of a ‘hard core romantic’ yourself…! 😉
a lovely write-up there, Carolyn:)
Thank You so much… and yours was wonderful…! 🙂
You’re a revelation! So romantic and lovely really!
Thank You so much, Aina…
We romantics know a thing or two about romance..! 🙂
You bet! 😊 But seriously, it’s lovely! 😊
Thank You, seriously… I’m very grateful..! 🙂
Gorgeous story Carol 😉
Thank You…. Romance lives…! 🙂
Could do with a bit 😉
If I could I’d send you some… 😦
Beautiful, my dear girl…
Thank You, my dear Hook…!
Being a ‘bloke’ sometimes is a bit of a challenge; if not great fun..! 😉
Romance verging on naughtiness Carolyn – I want to read the next chapter 😀
Anyway I have left you a challenge on my latest post – ha ha
Ah yes, Scott… Is not romance and naughtiness a twosome…!?! 😉
I really like this form! It’s poetic prose, kinda of? Anyway, well done! 🙂
Thank You…!
I don’t know what you call it either…! 😉
It’s just me; writing….! xoxoxo 🙂
I’ve heard some people say prosetry.
That sounds about as good as any, Anne…
Being a bit of a rebel I enjoying ‘breaking rules’… I’d hate to think I wasn’t… 😉
Oh no, I don’t want to be considered a ‘conformist’…. hahah….!
None of the cool kids are reading conformetry anymore.
😉
Written by a hairdresser, I take it?
Hahah… You know, Rose, he could very well have been a hairdresser;
to be sure…! 😉 😉
I Iiked it too, Carolyn!
Thank You… 🙂
Your last post was hilarious….! 😉
It’s a beautiful piece of writing! Could even feel that I was in the narrator’s place… 🙂 Your words just pull me in!
