    Kevin Smith

    I was born when Winston tasted good , like a cigarette should. We ran across a baseball field with my Dad to watch Jack Kennedy's motorcade . We were offered protection underneath our desks from Soviet warheads. A couple of years later, the motorcade made the fatal mistake of slowing to a crawl in Dallas . They got him. They. Anyway, I grew up a normal ,conflicted youth. I had the ability to go so deeply into a book, that it was real, it was a variation of the fugue state I entered when playing sports. The British Invasion blew my mind and saved me. Every few years they cook up a new excuse to slaughter young men and civilians. This one they called Vietnam. I thank God that I got a high number in the lottery and I thank and honor those who went and those who didn't return. The conflicted kid , became a conflicted adult . Fifteen years later , the grace of God pulled me from a booze and drug laced spiral. I married a sweet , sweet woman and we were blessed with a beautiful boy and a beautiful girl. I lucked out and ended up as a conductor on the railroad. Twenty-eight years and out. Now , I want to wrassle all those fragments of stories that have spun through my brain for years.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      THE MURDER I COMMITTED—it wasn’t simply the strike of a dagger, at night, on the fifth of October, in a brightly lit living room. The murder I committed is a phenomenon of duration, akin more to slow poisoning than a flashing blade. I dare to hope th

      Moments in Love - Kevin Smith

      Inspire par ma Terre, une ame divine dans la chair qui a vu la lumiere le potentiel dans une etoile mourante.

      Eternellement dans votre dette.

      The Magic Begins…

      All your dreams come true, if you have the courage to pursue them.

      Walt Disney

      A Watchful Eye

      I watch you as you sleep…Content…As if without a worry you slumber…Wrapped in the warmth and security of a blanket you lay weightless…Unfazed by the gravity of reality…You float…Swimming in imagination as I sit in wonder…Captivated by your beauty I stare…Mesmerized by your frame I caress you…Grateful for you…My muse…We...Spiritually connect…On a level one could never expect…And I OVERSTAND that I am blessed to be in the presence of such heavenliness.

      "Become addicted to…improvement."

      Anthony D’Angelo

      ADDICTED

      All she has to do is touch me and I implode…full of emotions ready to explode…I’m stuck under her spell and possessed by lust…I fiend for my next hit…and my drug is her touch…Addicted.

      Angel

      She looks as if she walked right out of heaven…with a voice as sweet as honeydew…and to witness her
