My Tuesday

This week's photo prompt on The Mag, instantly made me think of Ruby Tuesdays at The Girls. Wanting to have a weekly special for our customers, something that was a gem of a deal, and being the music fans that we are, we decided on a Ruby Tuesday each week. Two, maybe three years running, and we still have a lot of fun with it.

Couldn't sleep last night because of the online noise. Think I need a break. Giggle.

Morning Thoughts

Mag 102

What?!
Seriously?
Ugh.
I need to ping Erika again
Coffee
Or maybe I should
Damn
That's going to make a mess
Yep, there it is
Whoa
So that's what a sunset looks like
I need her notifications tags
Sunset? Sunrise
Pretty
Grr
Why always around my feet?
And of course with the purring
Think you're that cute do you?
Or do I...
Can I write it without the tags?
I'm coming, I'm coming
Enough whistling already
I need one of those
Automatic makers

This week's image prompt by The Mag make me think of jumbled thoughts so I decided to do a steam of consciousness. Unfortunately, too many thoughts got away from me. I couldn't capture them. Visit The Mag and see all of the ways others were inspired.

Pedestal Created

Mag 101

They fell in love
Deeply
As poets often do

Discovered
She the muse
He the afflatus

Pet nouns
Relation verbs
Endearment terms

He left
Her on the
Pedestal created

A quick stab at getting myself back into the practice. It's been way too long. In response to picture prompt from The Mag.

Draft: Endangered Pleasures 2/Your Way

You walk in all big and tall

Owning the place

Kick off your shoes

And put your feet up

Blissfully unaware

That you weren't

Invited

Baby, I love your way

Say what you mean

Stop begging me to ask you

I'm not a puppet

Only interested by the

Trailers you use to 

Tease me

Charming and funny

In your way
I watch you in awe
Unsuspecting the
Twister
Standing still

A friend suggested that the thoughts in Endangered Pleasures were three stories. And after Brian suggested I flesh them out, I'm giving it a try. So story 1 is Your way. Still not quite there but coming.

Draft: Endangered Pleasures

Floating on an aria in my back sea

As the seagulls in
Finding Nemo say: Mine :)

I smile as I think, it doesn't get better than this
Unless, of course
It's like this
I sip timber inspiration from a cup of mistake making
A muse less decision to live a life I envy

You walk in all big and tall
Owning the place
You kick off your shoes
And put your feet up
Blissfully unaware
That you weren't
Invited

Baby, I love your way

You wind my clock never ticking
Yepping like you heard my story never told
I walk through walls
Did you know that?

I refuse to think I can't

Not a mirror reflecting
But a woman projecting
I'm defending endangered pleasures
Mine

A first draft inspired by way too many seemingly mismatched thoughts in my head. From people invading personal space, getting lost in a love, to making choices to live how you wish, to loving life and protecting it. I sing the line "Baby I love your way" to my cat all of the time. Garnet Rogers played at a venue last night and made an electric guitar sound like an underwater aria, his voice the timber of a ship floating along it. 

Roomy Shell

My home
A shell
I side crawl
Defensively around
Near
Far

Memories
Stopping the door
Open
Room for more
