He prefers necklaces that choke Insists he’s just some bloke One who doesn’t bite, mostly He promises infinity So, the tumble begins The golden smile sunsets; In the end, darkness descends, Blood stained. Most of forever deprived A dying rose on the table, A blood red soul Put to rest, in the netherworld. ~Just L … Continue reading He Prefers Necklaces That Choke

I Didn’t Even Suck In My Stomach
I saw you on the street In passing, We embraced "Hi Sweetheart"... You introduced me to your "friend" Beautiful like a tiny painting With a limp dishrag handshake. I greeted you full, squarely on With my usual over-the-top energy "So great to see you; and meet you" I didn't even suck in my stomach I … Continue reading I Didn’t Even Suck In My Stomach
You Didn’t See Me
When I saw you I thought Could we Make a life Together, Happily We laughed Shared the same heart Missed each other When apart Not thinking Our lips met Reluctantly parting And yet I think You didn't see me. ~Just L (January 22, 2019)
Never Settle
Too many women I know have stood or prayerfully waited for too long, thinking that they are doing the right thing, the good thing, even the God thing: NEVER SETTLE for anything less than extraordinary. 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
Every morning you wake up with someone you love, take a moment to be amazed they are there beside you, be grateful you are alive to bear witness to another day of living and loving another human, be fascinated by this person who was vulnerable enough to wake up beside you-- be it one night … Continue reading Miss Them, But Do Not Ache For Them
This Year Went Sideways
This year went sideways Yet I’ve never felt straighter Survived the mistake of my life And outshined the haters I put off worthy suitors Accumulated abdominal fat Ignoring my stress levels For one who was not all that A talented musician But a mediocre lover His ‘sweet’ disposition An intricate cover Thrilled I’m not entangled … Continue reading This Year Went Sideways
Don’t Ever Allow There To Be “The One” That Got Away
Don't ever allow there to be "the one that got away"; make that ONE, "the one that almost got away"... How do you know they are “THE ONE”? When you can no longer imagine your life without them. Then, move heaven and earth to be together. (And if you can imagine your life without them, … Continue reading Don’t Ever Allow There To Be “The One” That Got Away
A Spiritual Cleansing
My threshold was honored with a Shaman Clearing the air with white sage and prayer Thousands of years of spiritual union and ritual Affirming my place in the universe and my lesson. The Great Spirit said: Ridiculous as the Pharisees praying in the square Stay clear of those full of themselves, yet empty … Continue reading A Spiritual Cleansing
Where Two Rivers Meet the Sea
Tropical flowers are red, The sky is blue, The sun is hot, And so are you. Water taxis are white, Yachts are rare, The water is shiny And so is your hair. Roosters crow, Chickens lay eggs, Force is strong, And so are your legs. Mountains reach, Up to the skies, The sand is sparkly, … Continue reading Where Two Rivers Meet the Sea
What is it about me?
And she replied, I can, and have. I am at a very free stage in my life. I have been deeply in love and I have had my heart broken. I have spent the last year guarded, practicing my yoga, and in reflection. I have done my fair share of playing, but when pursued, a … Continue reading What is it about me?
