There’s a deep place in my heart where we are forever frolicking on the wild shoreline. You are wearing the blue hat you bought at the beachside shop and your crooked smile catches my heart in my throat. I reach out to you, laughing and you pull me into your arms and into the waves.Continue reading “Ocean Wild”

Secondhand Adrenaline
Tara climbed the rock face with concentrated ferocity. Her lean and muscular body worked with rote muscle memory, pulling her closer and closer to the ledge on which he waited. Her hands gripped and released, gripped and released, while her legs maintained a steady balance below. From above, her face could be seen as aContinue reading “Secondhand Adrenaline”
The Fall
The sound seemed to bounce off the subway tiles and reverberate through the tunnel, amplifying the noise of the crowd tenfold. Brian hated it. It was making his head pound horribly. He pressed on through the throng as quickly as possible. This was the worst part. The pressing of bodies, the heat, the smells… HeContinue reading “The Fall”
Life in the Slow Lane
She was still getting used to her new place and the howling of the nearby coyotes was like ice to her blood. What had made her want to live in the country anyway? The answer, of course, was back in the bedroom, naked, sexy and waiting for her. She finished filling her glass and paddedContinue reading “Life in the Slow Lane”
Angry Letter
The blank page on her desk felt like an accusation. It was mocking her, really, with its edging of vines and flowers. Even the playful bunny in the corner appeared to be laughing at her. “Shut it, Bunny!” She closed her eyes and massaged her temples for a moment, then sighed and opened them again.Continue reading “Angry Letter”
Coming Home
She stepped out of the car and filled her lungs with fresh, country air. They expanded gratefully as her eyes took in the little white house framed by an endless sky. She was home, at long last, and she felt her body relax under the Iowa sky. Her Mama would be inside doing the requisiteContinue reading “Coming Home”
The Beautiful Chaos
How could I call you mine? Even if I wasn’t turned off by the phrase and its implications of owning another as opposed to loving another free soul… Even then, it would be impossible for me to ever call you mine. Because you are you… The most beautiful, amazing and unpredictable person I have everContinue reading “The Beautiful Chaos”
The Love I Knew
We met in the windswept corners of my mind. It was there we kissed for the first time, confessed our feelings for the first time, made love for the first time and yet… We had barely talked. By the time we went on our first date, we had already lived a lifetime of memories. WeContinue reading “The Love I Knew”
Becoming True
The truest form of love takes us out of our experience and sets us free from the shackles of the world. When he met her, he became fully alive for the first time. It was like she placed a finger on his heart and broke the chains which bound him to this life. He wasContinue reading “Becoming True”
Good Night
He held her close as they danced. It felt like the time before… Like their wedding night, only three years earlier, when she had nuzzled sweetly into his neck, and he swooned with disbelief. How could this beautiful creature be his wife? “What are you thinking, Darling?” she looked up at him wonderingly, her blueContinue reading “Good Night”
