2016 was a brutal year; One I could not have predicted; I entered it with stars in my eyes; Believing I had at last found the one to hold dear; There upon I lost loved ones and the one I loved became a ghost; 321 days of torturous heart break (as never before); Entirely aware … Continue reading 2016 was a brutal year…
Life
A Masterpiece and a Work In Progress
Her spirit is wild and free, a leaf dancing in the wind. To love her is to hold hands and scream with joy on her rollercoaster through life. Art is what she feels like. Sometimes it is all colors and sometimes only black and white. Sometimes cheerful with bright hopeful eyes. Sometimes sad but she is … Continue reading A Masterpiece and a Work In Progress
That Time Had Come

Repulsive Forces
The pavement glistens on this rainy day The house sparkles with the fall season Reaching for the Chardonnay I find you staring at me from my fridge Months after your magnetism lost its edge Your face is no longer pleasing. ~Just L (November 5, 2016) Author's Note: Rearranging refrigerator magnets and replacing photographs.
There is no sympathy for a woman’s life that appears swell
I find being single and dating at age 53 confusing as hell There is no sympathy for a woman's life that appears swell While receiving multiple "Good morning beautiful" texts is quite sweet I am too guarded to be swept off my feet Tonight I treated myself to an early dinner of wine and duck … Continue reading There is no sympathy for a woman’s life that appears swell
