Stargazer

Yesterday I went to the supermarket to pick up dinner and found myself wandering around the floral department.

Different Love

I am the woman you fear because he loved me different He loved me in a way that you wish you understood He loved me in a way that spoke to the cosmos because no other language on this earth could explain it He loved me in a way that words could only begin to…

A Moment III

“Are you happy?” he asked. She looked across the table at this man that was once her could have been.  God he was handsome. She leaned her head thoughtfully to the right. “Yeah,” she responded matter of factly. “I am…. It’s easy. Being with him is just easy. I’m not exactly used to it.” He…
