From Within the Silver Lining

Book Cover & Preview Text
CRADLE OF DREAMS
How I envy the pillow you slept upon last night
with your head against it soaking up
the moist warmth of soughing breath .
Oh, that I could be your pillow, be chafed
by the stubble of midnight shadows, caressed
with the softness of lips upon me, passion filled.
If you stirred in sleep, I’d move in agreement
to allow whatever posture was best suited
for erotic dreams and fantasies.
I crave the same ecstasy your pillow
experiences every night:
your weight upon me,
pressure,
thrust and drag molding me
so I belong, without doubt, to you.
What bliss to be your pillow!
I can imagine nothing more lovely than to wake
and find your cheek resting against me.

About the Book
Ordinary words overlay extraordinary nature photographs representative of the beauty and wonder of mature love. Laced with suggestive free verse and metered poetry, the author sprinkles enough prose between the covers to whet the appetite of the most sophisticated romance readers.
The book travels from the bleak breakup of a woman's thirty-year marriage to the rediscovery of self and the happiness of newfound love. From the dark clouds of self-doubt and loneliness to a glorious, forever kind of love, Kay guides the reader through age-old sensuality and into the seldom talked about communion between a man and woman entering their golden years. From the storms of unfaithfulness and betrayal, she moves her residence to a brighter sky where the clouds truly do have silver linings.
About the Author
Through her twenty-five-year career as a government worker in the field of Human Services, Kay Caputi has crossed paths with people from many walks of life. Her primary goal has been to "walk a mile in the shoes," of those she has served. These rich yet sometimes heartbreaking encounters have given her sensitivity regarding the lives of other people. From these experiences, she receives her ability to create visual imagery and to paint portraits of characters for plays, short stories, and poems.
An award winning actor/director/playwright, Kay retired from moonlighting jobs in regional theatre in 2004. Needing a creative outlet, she returned to the poetry she loved as a young girl for a cathartic, creative pastime. Her work can be found in various publications ranging from magazines and journals to respectable e-zines. Some of her work is based on experience. Much is a product of her over-active imagination. It is up to the reader to decide if she writes truth or fiction.
