He Speaks Four Languages. We Share One.
How can I articulate Our affection? No known words explain Our sparkly soul connection. As if the Universe ordained We were ready to collide. In a single moment, We boarded a borderless ride. Showing the world love One deep, magical blur. A kitten and a lion Hearts pure. Bold in our quietness, And vulnerable. Our … Continue reading He Speaks Four Languages. We Share One.
Good Morning From Mexico
In Mexico working and mating sound the same. Manual laborers swinging hammers. Headboards of lovers bang against the wall. The trolley carrying laundry to the rooftop hums off and on. And the bird who gathers in the courtyard each morning is the loudest of them all! ~Just L (March 27, 2017) Author's Note: Sounds from … Continue reading Good Morning From Mexico
This Much I Know
Sweet words are not sure promises; Neither are soft kisses. But this much I know for certain; Being spoiled with consistency never misses. ~Just L (March 26, 2017)
I Married Him Yesterday
Two hearts united, in one dance Of exquisite diversions life is full I married him yesterday With two syllables Proclaiming love to the heavens Feet firmly planted in history A lifetime together entwined Souls depth a glorious mystery. ~Just L (Written March 22, 2017) Published in the April 2017 Blender of Love Digest.

Delicate gold jewelry glistening on my skin. He would ring the bell twice so I would know … Continue reading It Is As I Imagined
Musings, Moonlight and Martinis
I. "Where are you bb?" Your very first words. At the end of the night your angel had flown away like a bird. "I'm here why did you go... without saying good bye?" Drunk on martinis and moonlight, I didn't recall why! You'd already fallen for me. And, for you, I fell from the sky. … Continue reading Musings, Moonlight and Martinis
So We Were
Three friends spoke of their expertise on relationships: "I have been single a long time..." proclaimed one. "I am the queen of broken hearts," claimed another. "I am in love with love!" said I. And, so we were. ~Just L (March 11, 2017)
A Storm Rises
A storm rises From the raging sea; Are they aware of the crackling in the air, Or are they only aware of the electricity between them? Waves crash against the sand, But they do not drown; In water. ~Just L (March 2, 2017)
Is this what love is made of or does this seem absurd?
Strolling along without a care in the world. Flowers dance and leaves unfurl. Sun on the face and breeze at the back. Heart full, there is no lack. It could have happened anywhere. The taste of anticipation in the air. Seduced by confident silence, and the scent of cloves. Enjoying entwined hands and toes. Eyes … Continue reading Is this what love is made of or does this seem absurd?
