All the world is our wild playground A love song in every little sound Embracing shades of gray Awash in sunshine everyday Anywhere we wander is not wrong Co-crafting our narrative in song An adventure need make no sense Creating a life on three continents Behold an extraordinary belonging Lovely is the sweetness of our … Continue reading Alliteral Life of Loveliness

Good Morning From Mexico
In Mexico working and mating sound the same. Manual laborers swinging hammers. Headboards of lovers bang against the wall. The trolley carrying laundry to the rooftop hums off and on. And the bird who gathers in the courtyard each morning is the loudest of them all! ~Just L (March 27, 2017) Author's Note: Sounds from … Continue reading Good Morning From Mexico
This Much I Know
Sweet words are not sure promises; Neither are soft kisses. But this much I know for certain; Being spoiled with consistency never misses. ~Just L (March 26, 2017)
I Married Him Yesterday
Two hearts united, in one dance Of exquisite diversions life is full I married him yesterday With two syllables Proclaiming love to the heavens Feet firmly planted in history A lifetime together entwined Souls depth a glorious mystery. ~Just L (Written March 22, 2017) Published in the April 2017 Blender of Love Digest.
It Is As I Imagined
Our first and last encounter fleeting. I had an idea in my head of our next meeting. I would be carefree and stylish in a black sundress, bedhead hair. He would be casual in jeans and Nike Air. Delicate gold jewelry glistening on my skin. He would ring the bell twice so I would know … Continue reading It Is As I Imagined

Drunk on martinis and moonlight, I didn't recall why! You'd already fallen for me. And, for you, I fell from the sky. … Continue reading Musings, Moonlight and Martinis
So We Were
Three friends spoke of their expertise on relationships: "I have been single a long time..." proclaimed one. "I am the queen of broken hearts," claimed another. "I am in love with love!" said I. And, so we were. ~Just L (March 11, 2017)
Single a longtime – A Self-fulfilling Prophecy?
He kept saying, "I've been single a long time..." as if that made him an expert on relationships. I couldn't help but think, maybe that just makes you an expert at being single. ~ Just L (March 11, 2017) See the "Quotes" section for other tidbits on love and loss.
A Storm Rises
A storm rises From the raging sea; Are they aware of the crackling in the air, Or are they only aware of the electricity between them? Waves crash against the sand, But they do not drown; In water. ~Just L (March 2, 2017)
Is this what love is made of or does this seem absurd?
Strolling along without a care in the world. Flowers dance and leaves unfurl. Sun on the face and breeze at the back. Heart full, there is no lack. It could have happened anywhere. The taste of anticipation in the air. Seduced by confident silence, and the scent of cloves. Enjoying entwined hands and toes. Eyes … Continue reading Is this what love is made of or does this seem absurd?
