11/9
Sometimes I wonder
With what substance
You have drugged me,
Beguiled my senses
and
Overruled my logic.
Is it that crooked smile
I love so much
or
Perhaps the way you
Look at me when
It’s clear that you
Love me too.

The Real World
10/21/18
It’s back to the real world again tomorrow.
Funny how, suddenly, the “real world”
Means whatever I do
When I’m apart from you.

It Works Every Time
10/22/18
Silence my fears
With your tongue
And banish my insecurities
With those sinfully deft fingertips
Which trace the language of
Your desire
Around my hips and
‘Cross the curve of my lower back
Again and again…
Just make love to me, darling.
That’s when all is right with the world.

Firsts
10/28/18
At some point,
You begin believing that
There are no more “firsts”
To be had in this lifetime.
Thank you, for teaching me
That every day with you
Can be a new adventure.

On One Condition

I’ve never been one for
Throwing caution to the winds,
But boy I’ll love you without abandon.
Just don’t leave me…

A Life Lesson to End 27
When I turned 27, one of my challenges to myself was to begin acting on Maya Angelou’s wisdom that, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Key word here being “first.” If you know me well, you know that despite everything, I believe in people. I believe in their goodness, their capacity to change for the better, their ability to achieve anything they put their mind to. Try as I might (and trust me, I have TRIED), I can’t help that—it’s just how I’m wired. That quality is part of what makes me a good coach, a good teammate, a good partner and coworker…but it also means that I don’t walk away from unhealthy relationships, toxic work environments, or generally persnickety felines when I really should.
