Stories of a Single Girl
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)
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)
I Want Someone

Their Smiles Betrayed Their Reasoning
They met on a beach Not at home but not on vacation Talked about life, relationships, and music Found they had much in common Nothing at stake they were vulnerable and open Isn't that the way it is in the beginning? Over the months they made plans to reunite And did on several occasions Super … Continue reading Their Smiles Betrayed Their Reasoning
I’d Rather Have My Pants on Fire
Who in their right mind wants to win the heart of a liar? I'd rather have my pants on fire. ~ Just L (Goddess Wisdom, November 7, 2018)
Willa
The windows rattled but I was not shook; Your strong arms, my protection. Reminded of your house's strong foundation; I settled in to the kiss of rain's affection. As the waves crashed in this Cabo Corrientes cove, We found our own native rhythm. Skin to skin we crackled; Was it the lightning or him? You … Continue reading Willa
