She had said all of the things over and over. Rehearsing her award-winning speech in the mirror. Uttering the words time and again. "Is this our beginning or is this the end?" She was resolute not leaving anything to chance. As her will was oft weakened by romance. She spoke her peace and held her … Continue reading She Released A Deep Sigh
Love
You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready…
"Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You … Continue reading You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready…
Unwilling To Discount My Price
What she doesn’t seem to know Is that I broke it off with you two weeks ago A letter that begins with “Dear John” Restating my intention to take action Letting go of the deep soul place I held sacred No one to blame, the commitment faded The stars were not aligned for us to … Continue reading Unwilling To Discount My Price
After Afore
11:11 am I step out of the shower Conscious not to slip on the tile I glance at the microwave 11:11, it blinks Make a wish If only I could go back to that grateful poem The one I wrote in January, I think I select a pink dry-fit dress Put my hair in a … Continue reading After Afore
Deceived
Those eyes so soft and kind Reflect a different set of mind Once enticing your kitten By all accounts I was smitten A hundred yard stare replaced The smiling crinkles of a happy face Among crocodiles you're swimming In a sea of love drowning Unattainable your heart's desire When integrity hangs by a wire I watch the full … Continue reading Deceived

I Have A Brand New Love
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
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
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)
