Decidedly not Portlandia Italia, a shared affinity His premium luxury with style Herculean thoroughbred, sinewy My Cinquecento, more designer cuteness A little cappuccino, frothy I imagine his frisky handling, a good ride Curvaceous and gutsy Mine a standard five-speed manual Preserves my dignity Charmed by the sounds that he made Modern elegance, destiny? -- Just … Continue reading Car Lovers

Could Have Been A Legend
What if we were meant to be forever after In spite of the story to date In separate bedrooms, down the street filled with laughter Perhaps our match Doula knew us deeper Watched you for a full year before our introduction Knowing full well you were a keeper What if we split too soon due … Continue reading Could Have Been A Legend
Exception Proves The Rule
What if I were to sit next to you Would you want to kiss me? Let it be easy Instead of playing cool -- What if our togetherness was fated From the beginning?

Too easy when your taste for … Continue reading Love Signs

If you are not in a relationship where EVERY DAY you feel loved, ADORED, cherished, and that it is made … Continue reading Never Settle
Miss Them, But Do Not Ache For Them

I Want Someone
In 2019, I want someone who holds my hand as tightly as they hold my heart; And misses me desperately when we are apart.
