Pamper-Her-Friday by Rg2® 133: ‘A Romance in Autumn’ Creatives by Rg2 (3)

 

Crimson Leaves, Calif.–6:29 p.m., Pamper-Her-Friday:

“My Autumn Girl”

Love, I think I understand why romance
has failed so many,
Could it be they’ve looked past the
smaller blessings aplenty?

Like leaves in fall and the beauty of it all
Are we ever truly satisfied?
I didn’t qualify for the hi-rise condo
But God knows I certainly tried

I wanted to impress you, finesse you,
but my heart really wasn’t there,
I want an abode to put love into
A place needing of some repair

Like a woman on the verge of
terminating her love-search,
Seeking freedom from heartache
and all men besmirched

No, no, come on now, you’re
too intelligent to generalize,
When we held hands, it was spiritual
And you began to empathize

 

I feel at times I’m a fish sans water
A man apart from the crowd,
My words are deliberately soft spoken
But, for you, I love out loud

Because it’s autumn, babygirl
We’ll call it a second spring,
When every leaf is a flower
a bouquet for you I’ll bring

You see, I don’t take the seasons for granted
And neither will I you,
I bought a home on a tree-lined postcard
from a Michael Landon point of view:

A little love, a little tenderness, a little
count-our-blessings romance,
Autumn’s special Pamper-Her-Friday
So may I share with you my plans?

Let’s value less those things material
and get back to honest living,
Breathe in one another’s oxygen
Our mistakes we’ll be forgiving

I’ve made my home a sanctuary
Warm and safe among its attributes,
I’ll sweep the leaves to clear your pathway
and we’ll replenish our romantic roots

For autumn wants us close together
to appreciate its majestic colors,
To awe the wonders of season’s change
and enhance our lives as sacred lovers

It’s Pamper-Her-Friday, Love
My bay window offers an enchanting sight
I’m making a fire and unfolding a blanket
For you, my autumn girl, tonight.

***

A woman is most romantic in Autumn. -Rg2

Fallen Leaves, Calif.–8:16 p.m., Pamper-Her-Friday:

“Pamper Her Autumn”

Was it bliss that I detected when I proposed
a Romance in Autumn?
You blew kisses to the wind and by providence
I caught ’em

There’s a chill to the air
yet my hand is so warm,
Press it upon your face, there,
it’s far from the norm

The leaves have turned their coats
to attract our attention,
“Don’t ignore me, you urbanites,”
they unsubtly mention

Can you stay with me the weekend
to share in Autumn’s introduction?
I’m preparing a signature heartmeal
and if you’ll follow my instruction:

Sit, unwind . . . I have merlot
. . . please relax,
There’s a little something on the table
courtesy of Goldman Sachs

No, no, I won’t say, you’ll have to
bide to the moment,
For there’s an art to the ambiance that
I’ve begun to foment

This is your night by candlelight
Chivalry is resurrected,
The power of my romance must
certainly be respected

And a woman’s quiet yearnings
must never go neglected,
Go ahead, open the box, I think
you’ll love what I selected

Why the gift? Your modesty asks
with serenity in your eyes,
An expression of my emotion under
cover of Autumn’s guise

Misty becomes your gaze as
the flames flaunt their flicker,
A Romantic in your midst
and a sensual candle wicker

Who understands the measure
of the depths of pampering’s meaning,
My damaged soul now replenished
No longer needing of redeeming

I wanna live, I wanna love, I wanna
romance you in Autumn,
Your kisses to the wind?
By providence, I caught ’em

I’m not letting go, woman.

Pamper-Her-Friday by Rg2® 131: ‘A Summer’s Romance’ Collection by Rg2 (40) The Summer 2012 Finale

“Sayonara, Sweet Summer”

Sweet Pamper-Her-Friday wishes to you, My Love,

According to meteorologists,
Summer officially ended moments ago
The weather gods beg to differ, however,
and there’s something I’d like to know:
Would you prefer a tropic landscape
or a lovely scenic waterview?
We won’t call this a romance finale
for there’s much more lovin’ to do
While you’re at work enhancing revenue
and I’m strategizing on market share
Our collective minds are elsewhere
My emotions I’m about to lay bare
June had me eating out of your hand
July saw you wrapped around my finger
August had the audacity to bring us closer
and it shamelessly wanted to linger
The pool-then-shower-at-sunrise mornings
followed by cocoa butter rubs
Fresh fruit picking and holistic skin licking
and pamper-fondling in the sauna tub
Between my nasty and your naughty
some violations may’ve been committed
If only you hadn’t begged for “just a little more”
I might’ve easily been acquitted
Of charges of being an artful summer lover
a clever summoner of your tinglepoints
A petter and stroker, a caresser and holder
The man you felt compelled to anoint
Soother-in-Chief of your summer’s romance
and Oh Great Keeper of the Thighs
Hmm, remember the melted berry cream
and the sweet surrender in your eyes?
The lazy nights and water-balloon fights
and pillow wrestling on aquabed
Table tennis and biking on Venice
Riding double-saddle on motorped
Canoeing on Lake Pandora, you were
awed by ducklings in the distance
Nature reminding us of the preciousness of life
That love is stronger than pride’s resistance
I admit, I was leery–to be true, ashamed
to show you my little house
An unsightly, lonesome fixer-upper
with just enough potential to espouse
You didn’t criticize nor pass a judgment
but saw something special in the buyer
I shed a few silent tears for your grace
Woman, you took me a little higher
Now I know why Barack loves Michelle
and Minister Malcolm so loved Betty
And why Reagan loved his Nancy
For true caring was at their ready
Along our way, something happened
Enchantment came into your heart
I certainly can’t take any credit
I’m not even clear I’ve played a part
But when I peer into your eyes
I see a man who’s found a home
Summer is suppose to be fleeting, right?
But these feelings refuse to roam
I need you, woman. I need you.
There, by God, I said it
My love is stronger than a summer’s romance
It’s truly yours if you will let it
We’ll say goodbye to a season gone by
But I’ve no sayonara for you
As leaves commence their fall at the moment of Autumn’s call
Our romance shall begin anew.

***

To every season there is Romance. -Rg2

“Dinner on the Cliffs”

Happy Pamper-Her-Friday, Love,

I reserved a table dressed in mocha
befitting summer’s waning days,
With a seaside sunset promised for two
whose vista will amaze,
The cuisine has vowed to delight your palate
but more important is the conversation,
I’ll pour a lush red and for you a crisp white
of full-bodied maturation,
You didn’t think I was attentive to your spoken likes?
It behooves a man his woman to study,
You like your seafood broiled, baked potato unfoiled
And champagne with a hint of almond nutty,
I understand your work is going so-so
as morale unfortunately is low,
Go ahead, I’ll listen, get it off your mind
We’ll take the evening soothingly slow,
You see, pampering is more than petting or gift-giving
There’s also the art of listening,
An interpersonal exchange of time and empathy
A deeper level of intimacy christening,
“But enough about work . . . let’s talk about us,”
you say from across the splendid table,
Our summer’s romance still mirrored by your eyes
You’re the wearer of my exclusive label,
As you take a moment to exhale the week
your chin is rested in your palm,
The air has cooled, we’re one another’s fool
The revelation inspires a calm,
An inner peace from summer days we’ve shared
and many a fabled night,
From the beaches to the mountains and the moonlight drives
Creative lovemaking at its height,
As I freshen your glass, the flutist approaches
with a Kenny G-like serenade,
The beautiful surprise reflected in your eyes
Absolutely no masquerade,
Our dinner was lovely, your company even better
But, come, let’s go meet the shore,
We’ll sandwrite in script what we mean to each other
And our romance will request an encore,
We’re staying the weekend in a cliff-hugging hideaway
where the pampering will begin its second act,
A range of ideas I’ve hatched all week
And my performance will be erotically exact.

***

Pamper the woman like an endless summer. -Rg2

Pamper-Her-Friday by Rg2® 129: Her Vote

Charlotte–12:01 a.m., Pamper-Her-Friday:

“Ever think of me, woman?”

She bristles, pauses, hesitates, palpitates, and becomes goosebump-laden at the audacity of his question, the audacity of his hope, then releases the most flutter-hearted
response she’s ever given in her lifetime:

“With every single breath I’m blessed to take.” And squeezes him as if he’s beating with her very heart.

“Does that mean I have your vote?”

She tears up, finding no words to reflect the moment.

The woman’s in love.

***
Pamper her . . . in words and deeds. And forever yours is her heart. -Rg2

  “Summer’s Moonset”

It’s finally Pamper-Her-Friday, Love
I’ll let you talk, vent, confess, even drivel

Let the workweek go while I lather-bathe you
As I promise to keep this night civil

No raucousness, grievances, or complaints here
Certainly no urge for infighting
You’ve had enough of that outside our home
Tonight you deserve summer’s inviting

Nature murmurs, wind-whispers, feathery waves
reflecting the moon’s iridescent glow
Luxuriate in my Asia-inspired getaway
And lose yourself in my flow

Are your shoulders tight? Your mind unsettled?
Have you suffered any disappointments?
If you’ve wounds both open and unseen
I swear I’ve got just the ointment

You see, I understand what you’re up against
This unspoken war with competition
Paying the mortgage, raising kids, and chasing dreams
Trying not to succumb to attrition

For every Michelle there’re three Ann Romneys
And for every Beyonce, four Taylor Swifts
Don’t leg go of your aspirations, please
But keep in perspective your own special gifts

Summertime’s on the verge of saying farewell
Neither of us is ready for closure
I’m about to pamper you as if it may never return
And you’re at liberty to lose your composure

Panties astray, though lingerie can stay
but their appearance will certainly be brief
Leave the superwoman stance outside the door
You’re the tribeswoman and I’m the chief

Come here, I want you at waterbed’s edge
your feet skywardly posed
I’m redefining the essence of Pamper-Her-Friday
as summer comes to its close.

                          ***
 Pamper the woman. She needs it. -Rg2

“No Romantic-Come-Lately”

It’s pampering time, Love,
and I’ve been thinking lately
My promise to make your summer enchanting if you’d date me

A man’s home is his woman
and his woman his castle
My lovemoat surrounds you to extinguish the hassle

Of a workweek that’s callously
taken you for granted
Did they say you’re expendable and still haven’t recanted?

It’s quite alright, babygirl,
I’ve been let go a few times
and finally made peace with my hurts and my rhymes

One must be strong
Are you tired of being strong?
We hate to be wrong but it’s okay to be wrong

The learning becomes a yearning
for the simplest of truths
Like banter and laughter and a hand that soothes

Your professional ambitions
and entrepreneurial instincts
You can ponder with me over jazz and mixed drinks

I’ve been writing and creating,
and investing sweat equity
While quietly longing to share the complexity

Of the mysteries of rejection
what it is I must do
To win your devotion I may have a clue

Your Monday was stormy
and Tuesday so sad
Wednesday was worse, though Thursday less bad

But Friday I designated
that feelings manifest
I’m adamant to fulfill your every request

Have I told you lately
what you mean to me?
More than spoken words, I’m writing my decree:

Now, Friday night
and henceforth evermore
I’ll nurture our romance like those times of yore

When a man didn’t ask
what a woman couldn’t give
You’re my summer’s romance for as long as I live.

Pamper the woman and eternal is her romance. -Rg2

“Romance Among the Elements”

It’s Friday, Love,
and SoCal’s still blanketed by this heat check,
It’s just below stifling
but I created something on the deck,

I need you to close your eyes
take my hand, I’ll be your guide,
Nature says we can run to the AC
but in no way can we hide,

From the simmer of global warming
under scientific review,
The thermometer’s up a notch
just as my lust quotient for you,

While having a drink on Monday
I scribbled designs on a napkin
for an artistically distinct Friday
and what it is I’d like to happen,

Open-air ambiance
beneath a tangerine sherbert sky,
Wind-carved boulder stones
and canyon brush to greet the eye,

Glacier water and chilled Moët
to make you forget about your week,
and I’ve written romantic verse
resembling tales from the Greeks,

My Apollo to your Aphrodite,
your body forms among the stars,
Now come down from the heavens–
I want the real-life avatar,

Your fragrance wafting along the air
as dusk announces its arrival,
you’ve worked hard all week, woman–
now it’s time for a body revival,

Endless streams of smooth-edge ice
to cool the surface of your skin,
Frozen pomegranate cubes
trickle-melt to sate my yen,

Rivers of juice matriculating
to the delta of your thighs,
As the moon nods its approval
that I’m so near to the prize,

A sudden quiver and then a shiver
But, how, it’s 91 degrees,
How do you explain this impulsive rush
and the weakness in your knees?

Well, Love, we have a dilemma:
To continue outdoors or take it inside,
I suggest we enjoy the elements
There’s no need to break my stride,

Umm, you feel that naked breeze?
Now take a sip of this Moët,
Now tell me a secret–
a hidden fantasy unexplored yet,

Intimacy night-long under the crescent moon
We’ll thank nature for her benevolence,
You’re lovin’ the ways of my summer’s romance
and endless pampering amidst the elements.

“A Suite Night”

. . . no, I don’t harbor any gynecological fetishes, woman
Well, not that I’m aware,
but if I should probe, I’m starting with your earlobe
I suggest you tie up your hair,

Seven whole days without a touch from you
and you’re just short of an addiction,
We’ve got some nights-long making up to do
and I’m accepting no bodily restrictions,

I made money on Monday, some investments on Wednesday
and stowed away a considerable percent,
Our suite awaits at the Cove at Glenbay
endless champagne by shareholder consent

Why don’t you open the Victoria’s Secret box
while I put Jeffrey and Kem on the Bose,
A no-disturb policy ensures nobody knocks
It’s private pampering time, and no one else knows,

Let’s start you with a Cleopatra milk bath, petals afloat
and a gentle, symphonic rinse,
cradled in my arms your body I will tote
as I take in the essential oil scents,

How’s that? And this? And what about there?
I can feel your clavicle tension,
Alright, now turn over so I can begin your back
and by all means don’t fail to mention,

What it is or where it is along your skinscape
you need me to emphasize,
You like the art of my leg-length kneading
And on the other you’d love a reprise?

I’ve never been much of a ‘Yes’ man, woman
But I guess in this instance I’m human,
Who was it that said, ‘If you can’t stand the heat,
get out of the suite’ . . . wasn’t it President Truman?

Oh, so you laugh at my political humor
and you’ve gone from groan to moan,
My technique on your physique may be cause for rumor
But you’d much prefer that I hone,

My pampering talents of surgical precision
from your toes to your fingertips,
Now turn over, that I may continue my pampering mission
beginning at your sweet lips . . . .

Pamper the woman and forever yours is her summer’s romance. -Rg2

“The Romantic Proposal”

My grandfather once said,
“Love is not a feeling. But an ability.”
Between my able mind and your able heart,
there lives a rare tranquility,

Supernatural in one moment
so earthly simple the next,
Tracing the lines of your tender palms
is like reading a sacred text,

Breath, bone, flesh, and blood
we’re no more than godly dust,
I’ve been quietly seeking love’s meaning
and I believe I’ve found its thrust,

Reluctance is a terrible thing to carry
from sins and hurts of the past,
Go on, compare me to all the others
but I beseech you to contrast,

Their many pros to my several cons
I won’t ask you for the difference,
Just come walk with me and talk with me
Your heart will make its inference,

Buried beneath this summer’s romance
Arisen feelings may seem so recent,
But Robert Redford had it all wrong–
My proposal is highly decent,

One day a laugh, one night a cry
to relinquish the emotional debris,
We’ll take it a shore-walk and hand-hold at a time
And beyond the horizon we’ll see,

That love is not some fleeting feeling
but, rather, an ability,
And my summer’s romance has little meaning
without you next to me,

It’s Friday, my Love, and I henceforth vow:
Pampering beyond the season,
And when autumn announces summer’s end
We’ll only have more reason,

To continue the blessings of time we’ve shared
For you’ve given me the chance,
To propose we take this ever higher
Beyond our summer’s romance.

***
