I have a brand new love Who's changed my life completely We like the same food and music Agree on spiritual values Adore our children and parents Talking to each other sweetly We have the same temperament Similar life goals so I'm told Glowing hair and smile to match We're quirky and funny And freakishly … Continue reading I Have A Brand New Love

Is this how we break up?
Is this how we break up? WhatsApp messages with one checkmark You seen holding hands with another in the dark Repeated calls failed Without so much as a word you bail Texts on iPhone are never read Left alone night after night in our bed Your Facebook profile blocked from view 1 + 1 + … Continue reading Is this how we break up?
A Sonnet of Hate and Love – 1
HATE My lying frog, you inspire me to write. How I hate the way you drum, talk and bore me, Invading my mind day and through the night, Always dreaming about the fake story. Let me compare you to a flaccid member? You are more cruel, entitled and unsatisfactory. Bold winds shake the leafage of … Continue reading A Sonnet of Hate and Love – 1
An Angel Beckons
I received a note anonymously; Urging me to open my heart; Trust the divine warrior who leads the heavenly army; Who could this be? The words were written with sincerity; Though the name was withheld, Its uniqueness touched me deeply. He was to meet me where mountains meet the sea; "How will I recognize you?" … Continue reading An Angel Beckons
The Goddess and Her Lover
See the slithering of the lover, I think he's angry at another. He finds it hard to see the brie, Overshadowed by the wine flowing free. Who is that swimming near the shore? I think she'd like to eat s’mores. She is but a superior goddess, Admired as she sits among the novice. Her intelligent … Continue reading The Goddess and Her Lover
I Looked Up Your Horoscopes
I looked up your horoscopes- You two will be very happy together- Staying home, cooking, cuddling- Well matched and boring forever. Whereas our pairing was pure energy- One in which I dreamed up adventures- And you planned all the deets- Thrilling, but not as neat. ~Just L (August 11, 2018)
No Brainer
When it came down to it, he preferred breasts over brains. And, I am too smart to compete with that. ~Just L (July 16, 2018)
Reflections on 1977
In 1977 (8th grade), I thought I was more brains than beauty, my limbs were too long, my nose was too big, my breasts were too small, my (23") waist wasn't small enough... Today, at age 55, I know that I had everything I needed. Just add a bigger smile. Embrace it all. Now. Do … Continue reading Reflections on 1977
All For You
All For You I dreamed of you. I looked for you. I stopped seeking you. I saw you. I walked up to you. I talked to you. I thought about you. I was hexed by you. I text you. I met up with you. I ate with you. I kissed you. I spent days with … Continue reading All For You
Inspiring Art
She appeared in the doorway as if the wind had blown her onto my blank canvas all at once in full color. Soaked from rain's song. Shaking her head and laughing wildly. She was unaware of her crackling impact on the still inside air. Surprisingly refreshing like a summer storm. Embracing Nature. Inspiring art. ~Just … Continue reading Inspiring Art
