The Thought of You

While wind and engines pull boats directionless, my book of recipes lure me deeper into context and hunger. I am but lost in words, when thoughts of you find me; drowning in French food and the lights of Paris, as the sound of water laps upon the shore below. I reminisce the last couple of…

Let’s Get Real

Let’s get real, I mean why shouldn’t I? I’ve played the scene over and over in my head, I know how it will turn out, or do don’t I? I’ll just say what I’ve rehearsed. I’ll try to be tender, but will likely end up blurting out choppy sentences, losing all elegance to speaking. Either…

The Miles In-Between

In the miles that separate us temporarily, though memories be made, this ole heart misses knowing you are near. Found bound yet free while visiting familiar territory, let me continue to breathe you in morning and night, so, my fonder feelings remain connected to the one I’ll be returning home to.
