Room for two

Mr Woodman was once in love with the scent of vine ripened tomato's...it drove him wild

he made sure they were always close at hand
their perfect, juicy, round succulent spheres were all he had
his image of them would never falter

the tomato's swelled plumply, straining
for the touch of Mr Woodman
they craved his warmth and passion

Mr Woodman would spend hours with his tomato's
fondling them, playing with them,
his passion for them unwavering

amazed by their beauty
their sheer perfection
he was happy, content and satisfied

the vine-ripened tomato's would spend hours
preparing themselves for the ultimate sensation,
they knew this was their destiny

One day whilst Mr Woodman was worshipping his vine-ripened tomato's,
in the distance a ginger cat was watching with curious amusement
Mr Woodman was surprised at this sudden attention


Mr Woodman wondered how long this ginger cat had been there,
watching him, laughing at him, admiring him
what was she thinking?


Mr Woodman suddenly forgot about his precious vine-ripened tomato's
and started to wonder more about this soft, cottonwool creation
sitting their gracefully, casually dreaming of rich creamy milk dripping down her chin


his obsession grew to enormous propositions
he needed to get closer to this heaven sent goddess
he wanted to drown in her touch, her smell, her essence


she was wild and exciting
he felt her heat, her heart beat
and knew that she would singe him or maybe even bite off his hand


he offered himself to her,
she was shy and innocent
his passion was intoxicating

he knew he had to have her
his patience paid off
their love and desire was all encompassing

the only question now was
would there be room for his vine-ripened tomato's?

babe this is just so layered with meaning. it made me smile and cry and nod my head knowingly all in one sitting...the characters that grace your home are full of life. glad i got to see them in person just a few days ago...

These images have so many stories - when I looked at them after I had taken them I laughed at how they unfolded. One of my gorgeous friend's Juanique and I slipped away after a dinner party and got lost with these characters. It was so much fun - I can't wait for Juanique to see what transpired from our fun.
