A Single Tear

Hello Heartbreak

Hello Heartbreak...I see you!

You're more dependable than my best friend.

More faithful than any man.

More devastating than a great disaster; with more outcries than all my laughters.

Love lifts me up but, you quickly bring me down.

Scares left on my heart reminds me that you've been around.

You fill my stomach with so much pain, I can't eat.

You plaque my mind so often, I can't sleep!

The weight of your presence sits heavily on my lungs, I can't breathe.

A constant reminder that in your works, you're well pleased.

Your below the belt punches hurts so bad; I can't stand it!!!

But guess what Heartbreak?????   I'M STILL STANDING!

Truly not yours, LL1

When I think of the depth of my love for you my heart rate increases, my throat tightens, from my eye love manifests in a single tear.

No words could ever adequately say or describe just how much I love you. But, I dedicate my love to you beyond my lifetime.

So, with no cards, candy or gimmicks for Valentine’s Day this year …I say to my bab...

Loves' Ferris Wheel (A short story)

Ok... So, I’m in love, right?  I’m thinking, “This is the greatest experience I have ever had!”  Just as I began to feel comfortable with love; it’s over! Gone! Kaput! Finished! The opportunity to experience love is like…. Well, it’s like a Ferris wheel… Love’s Ferris wheel.

                             Loves' Ferris Wheel

I’m riding the Ferris wheel. At the beginning I’m nervous and butterflies are turning flips in my stomach; I love it! As the ride takes me higher and higher I become even more excited! This is the greatest feeling I have ever had IN-MY-LIFE!

I am sitting back chillin at the top of the ride, relaxed and feeling good (you know that place in the relationship that reaches its comfort zone; that sweet spot?) suddenly the ri...
