Her heart is a glass of haunted roses. Weatherworn Ellis Island faces rise like Lazarus from family memory books. Ours is the immigrant waltz learned from grandparents who danced on the shores of America upon arrival.
Spring in Natchez, Mississippi is pollen blown on the honeysuckle breeze like the nectar of Aphrodite. Sassafras scents the morning light on a dandelion lane past the bird sanctuary owned by the surgeon down the road until he walked Brightwood Street with his bewildered...

Netflix & Kill
Netflix and chill seems to be the motto, an excuse to hang out while getting all blotto!
To chill with one another, and hopefully get it on!? However, sometimes, it can go terribly wrong.
Tarquin was scrolling on Facebook, just having a gooseys, when he sees a status by a dorris called Lucy...
"Can any1 suggest any good serial killer documentaries?" Tarquin then commented underneath it. "Yes, I know plenty!"
They started to banter, back and forth on the comments, from flirting to cherpsing and chatting some nonsense.

A World of Possibilities
We were nothing more than friends,
But something shifted for us that
Night. It is like being in a dark room
And then someone turns on the light.
Suddenly I see every possibility with
You and us. We do not know the ends,
Only all the beginnings and all the paths
We travel on. When the flowers bloom
We cannot stop them. As we take flight
Above the scene it is like the wordsmith
In me finally stays quiet and enjoys every
Moment with you. Within your embrace
I feel safe and secure. With every kiss and
Laugh I...

travel to Porto
On the way to Porto for a week's holiday, we drove through a pine forest a man planted forest the way each
stood at a respectful distance from each other
A year later in high summer, the forest took fire and
when flames met on the road, cars were trapped and many people, and families, died in the horrific hell-fire.
Our hotel was situated at a height, we had asked for a downtown hotel, my wife said it was my fault since I had tried to speak Portuguese- not far from a disused water tower, it's gated surrounding full of rats where every night hideous screams were heard in...

How Do I love Again
Love is a drug and I just need my fix
Tired of pouring all this love into the wrong bitch
Tired of the different mood swings
I hit the wrong switch
Love ain’t did nothing
Not even made me rich
Who knew Love would feel like this?
Love chose a man over her kids
Love had me locked up facing a bid
Love had me wishing I didn’t exist
Love had me taking risks
Now I know what love feels like at the end
I might have said some things I never meant
You really going to throw away all the time that we spent?
I can’t even sleep...

Let Me Vent
First off I want to blame my parents
I didn’t ask to be born
All this weight I carry
Feeling selfish with my ways
I’m feeling angry
Momma had me young
She was just a baby
Sometimes I wish she never made me
Never laid down with my father
I wish she would have waited
Look at the mess they created
Now I’m feeling hated
I watch my life pass me by
All the time I wasted
I should have been searching for answers
Like why my daddy leave me
Why was he incarcerated?
Why couldn’t momma feed me
Working...

Reassembly Required
It's not that I don't have the ingredients
to be a proper man.
A curious-worthy man.
It's that so much is scattered.
How much time do you have...
At the dining table,
forking around with our
April thanksgiving.
Our third date;
No more napkins
covering our laps.
Seems more like the twentieth,
as our disclosures are shared,
consumed with of course's.
Yet one, covered, stainless domed lid;
Do you know I fell in love with you
during...

Hurray For The REVERSAL Of ROE V WADE
Roe v. Wade has been reversed !!
First of all, privacy is no realistic basis for legalizing abortion.
Just because the baby is within your body, that doesn't give you the right to kill it !!
You are not an absolute monarch over that baby. Suppose I invite someone over to my house and he slips on the slippery floor.
So he says "I'm gonna sue you for having that slippery floor." So I say to myself, I can't let this bum sue me !!
So I'm tempted to "wack" this guy - and justify it on the basis that it happened within the PRIVACY of my house.

Game, Set, Match
The waves in the hair trailing down her back
Is compared to the curves of her body and they match
Without intent she bats her eyelash
She gesticulates while talking, yeah she's cute like that
She knows what some men want, but she agrees not all
Willing to meet anyone, but determined not to take a fall
Even though she liked him, she was no one nightstand
She had every intention of ruining this plan
The conversation was great, compliments were traded
The decision for this date was good, she was glad that she made it

Dear Soulmate
What incredible possibilities await us!
All this exciting opportunity offering genuine connection with so many positive, caring people in a welcoming and nurturing environment. The amazing internet sits upon the pinnacle of achievement for our species. Sadly, a small minority prefer to squander all that stupendous potential for their own misguided and dubious reasons.
They are best ignored. I promised myself never to feed them and because you're my soulmate I know you won't either.
Another stormy night cuddling pillows. You're a raincheck for my famous home cooked...
