Sweetest Taboo

"There's a quiet storm... And it never felt like this before... There's a quiet storm... That is you There's a quiet storm... And it never felt this hot before... Giving me something that's taboo... Sometimes i think you're just too good for me"
This evening finds me relaxing with a delectable glass of Shiraz, pasta on the horizon, and Sade's Greatest Hits serving as a soundtrack in the background. The spicy smelling smoke from the Gonesh incense sticks are hypnotic as they form fluid curlicues in the unseasonably humid air. It's raining heavily outside, with heavy gusts of warm wind. While I know this mild weather we've been experiencing here in the Northeast can be attributed to global warming, and man's harsh treatment of our environment, I can't say that I hate it, nor can I say that I'm looking forward to snow, sleet, or ice. The sounds of the rain and passing cars gliding down the slick streets are quite soothing. Oddly enough, as I glanced out the window, I witnessed a cat sauntering across the rooftop just across the way. I wonder how she got up there. Somehow, I know it's a she. Looking further beyond, I saw a shadow covering a window a floor up, across the way... I wonder if this person sees how deliciously lucid I am. This evening qualifies as one of the best solo dates I've ever had with myself.

Sweetest Taboo is my favorite Sade song...

I'll do anything for you...
I'll stand out in the rain, ohoh...
Anything you want me to do...
Don't let it slip away...

Just wanted to add an interesting coincidence. A couple of minutes after my first post, VH1 Soul played "No Ordinary Love". :)
