When I need the warmth of an embrace Cadence of words, sweet reassurance Your luscious mouth my wounds erase Blowing rhythmically lifting my stance Under moonlight sharing a dance Pressing the small of my back’s curve Inhaling your vetiver fragrance Our union an Oeuvre! ~Just L (A Ballade, October 9, 2017)

But, we didn’t get to wake up to the end of the story…
The Las Vegas shooting terrorized more than concert goers as active shooters were reported down the strip as far as Caesars Palace. For those who say, but you weren't at the concert (dismissing thousands of people's terrifying experience), "Yes, but we didn't get to wake up to the end of the story..." Here's my short … Continue reading But, we didn’t get to wake up to the end of the story…
September Heat
Roosters crow As the sun burns through The rain drops timidly Pouring intermittently From the plantation chair on my terrace The church is in view 88 feels like 103 80% humidity Nothing sticks to me But you ~Just L (September 19, 2017) Published in the October 2017 Blender of Love Digest.
“All will be fine love”
Thank you for saying "All will be fine love"... When my world is burning down. In the middle of a hurricane, underwater. When I've fallen to the ground. Sometimes it's all I need to hear. And it means everything. ~Just L (September 12, 2017)
Not Bitter At All
I am delighted to find Exactly where my lips Tasted salty And you were sweet To me Where we laughed As the sea whipped our hair And these many months Have not changed your kindness Or how much I care I am thrilled to discover We are co-creators Of our fate On my tongue The … Continue reading Not Bitter At All
Don’t tell me what he’s like when he’s smitten with you…
Don't tell me what he's like when he's smitten with you, tell me how he treats you when he's angry - or bored with you. How does he treat his family and friends? Does he have close relationships or are they simply work / hobby acquaintances? Do all of his best friends coincidentally live far … Continue reading Don’t tell me what he’s like when he’s smitten with you…
Satisfying Pangs of Nothingness
I saw you today. You accidentally (or was it) brushed up against me, As you stopped in your tracks and turned the other way. I watched the collision in slow motion. As if I were floating far above the fray; I couldn't smell you any longer, and had nothing to say. Remarkably it pays - … Continue reading Satisfying Pangs of Nothingness
The Best Is Surely Yet
I once climbed mountains for one who held my heart. Never grasping, 'Wait for someone to do their part.' Until I dared to be vulnerable, missing the trust fall. With a thud I realized it wasn't about me at all. Wandering for a time, I questioned the other's motive. At last I decided this was … Continue reading The Best Is Surely Yet
Fore!
The love didn't last For you Our time passed too fast For me I thought I was to your kind wise Formerly A fuck boy who thinks he's one of the good guys Forever ~Just L (August 8, 2017)
This Will Be In My Memoirs
With you, that day in the forest Was remarkable Thinking aloud, I went This will be in my memoirs Writing as I do Some nights are painful reminders Of something fleeting Penned on the page Where emotions were raw Because I never believed I would feel any other way Your voice's intonation Matched the sunset … Continue reading This Will Be In My Memoirs
