Don’t tell him I think about him as much as I do He might get the wrong impression Don’t tell him he makes me smile Or his scent is my obsession. Don’t tell him I’m smitten It’s just a crush Don’t tell him from afar, my heart swells a little It’s too much. Don’t tell … Continue reading Don’t Tell Him

She Released A Deep Sigh
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
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
Prelude to a Kiss
I glance at my phone and feel a little thrill “Hi sweetie!” I last saw him in April Ah yes, I was getting my birthday tattoo “It’d be great if we could get together" “I look forward to seeing you, too.” *** We meet at my favorite dinner spot I’m playing it cool, yet feeling … Continue reading Prelude to a Kiss
The Goddess and Her Lover
See the slithering of the lover, I think he's angry at another. He finds it hard to see the brie, Overshadowed by the wine flowing free. Who is that swimming near the shore? I think she'd like to eat s’mores. She is but a superior goddess, Admired as she sits among the novice. Her intelligent … Continue reading The Goddess and Her Lover
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)
All For You
All For You I dreamed of you. I looked for you. I stopped seeking you. I saw you. I walked up to you. I talked to you. I thought about you. I was hexed by you. I text you. I met up with you. I ate with you. I kissed you. I spent days with … Continue reading All For You
Inspiring Art
She appeared in the doorway as if the wind had blown her onto my blank canvas all at once in full color. Soaked from rain's song. Shaking her head and laughing wildly. She was unaware of her crackling impact on the still inside air. Surprisingly refreshing like a summer storm. Embracing Nature. Inspiring art. ~Just … Continue reading Inspiring Art
It All Makes Sense
Sight Downy fine hair on my shoulders The indented crease down your spine Crooked pinky finger I smashed in a door How your face twists when you say “It’s fine.” Sound I live and breathe with words However clever, dating by text fizzles The sound of your climax I imagine Your voice’s intonation sizzles Smell … Continue reading It All Makes Sense
Breathe, Kiss, Quave
Staring into your deep, dark eyes, I’m distracted by your full lips. Your mouth I want. Your taste I crave. Magnetic attraction closes the distance between our hips. Tongues in agreement. Breathe, kiss, quave. ~Just L (May 5, 2018)
