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

Uneven Beliefs
Intermittently uneven beliefs Aswim in emotions of doubt; Limitless laws only in my head Conflict with what love's about. ~JustLPoetry (April 18, 2020)
Halloween is Spooky
Why did you give up on us? Why did you make a point of pointing out others who had? On you, or in general? In good times or bad. Why do lovers say stupid shit they don't mean? I fell for your philosophical line. I'd rather you had stated your truth, "I'm only in this … Continue reading Halloween is Spooky
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? We didn’t fear leaning in Finding our differences miniscule –- What if everything since Was a holding place? To make us better … Continue reading Exception Proves The Rule
Love Signs

Too easy when your taste for … Continue reading Love Signs

NaPoWriMo Day 2: Truth or Fiction?
Maneuvering Vallarta’s sidewalks without a care in the world, My bar owner friend beckons, “Come over here girl!” “Lori this is Mark, Mark this is Lori” Certain she had launched a great love story. I’m a sucker for all seven types of artists; With destiny did I make a tryst? Perched on the barstool breeze … Continue reading NaPoWriMo Day 2: Truth or Fiction?
NaPoWriMo Day 1: How to Honor the Visible and the Invisible
You may know her by her dazzling, infectious smile Or breasts to die for, “the best money can buy” (she’d quip) In reality, this is only how you might recognize her Her carefree brazenness masked depression inside. Her kind, compassionate words; heartfelt, honest talks A lifetime of experiences that made her hard, yet soft Her … Continue reading NaPoWriMo Day 1: How to Honor the Visible and the Invisible
You Wish
You were dishonest By omission, as they say When she is no longer the one You want to walk slowly with And she runs ahead... You'll ask, "Still available?" You wish. ~ Just L (February 16, 2019)
