Out and about firm in your decision Freedom feels oh so glorious, that you are certain Without a doubt secure in the rationalization Until that very moment you enter another Pushing past the garrison, claiming your win Only the strangely unfamiliar is suddenly unsatisfying In the dawn it feels entirely wrong In the victory, your … Continue reading Foolishly Entering Another

“Do not contact me”
I cannot stand to feel you Or the love that you inspire I must avoid emotions at all cost I cannot afford desires Especially of the heart Do not dare reach out to me For I fear kindling tenderness You may not impress me with your lips Or cast a spell with your skin’s scent … Continue reading “Do not contact me”
Knocking on the Dawn Anew
I have been in love before; After all at my age, who hasn’t? Some have entered like a storm, or had a particular appeal Still others ran their course, and that was the end of that I wasn’t prepared for the way my feelings for you Literally snuck up on me building an appreciable wall … Continue reading Knocking on the Dawn Anew
Taken
I love being taken Asserting confidently, “I am reserved, spoken for” As in, smitten To declare my heart Belongs to another Unavailable entirely Satisfied completely Is rather lovely. Taken for granted, Not so much. ~Just L (June 2, 2016) Published in the July 2016 Blender of Love Digest.

It All Goes Away With You
HOW sweet your voice can be I know For sure. I’m going to miss When you go Not just a kiss It’s all that flows Inside my mind: OH beautiful mother Of Two There are those Among us Who have touched Your skin, your lips And now realize How precious Your LIFE is; (Who is … Continue reading It All Goes Away With You
Love Awaits
How could she know that her journey of grief and acceptance would lead her to this place? Surely she never imagined during her battle with solitude that he was already on the other side. Waiting, surrendered; standing firmly in place. Love found her gazing at the stars wearing nothing but a coat and a smile … Continue reading Love Awaits

The spring days are gorgeous, you have lovely chilled wine at your place, and I have saved up kisses I want to plant. ~ Just L (May 18, 2016) Published in the June 2016 Blender of Love Digest.
