    About this ebook

    Some people say that life is short, but it is the longest thing that you will ever do. It’s the people we meet along the journey that make that time fly. You will never know the impact someone will have on you before you meet them, and you rarely tell them how you feel about them even after they are gone. If there are words you have never said to that special someone, or special words that you never heard from that someone, I hope that you will find them here…

      Joy

      Remember to think on joy, my love.Remember to think on joy. May it be a steamy, hot bath.Or the incredibly long neck of a giraffe. Crunching a leaf.A crooning song-weep. Sandy shifted, foot-tread whispers.Or the ochre-dusty finger paint, that lingers

      On Beginnings and Endings

      Mar 27, 2018

      TO BEGIN IS to admit an infatuation, a longing, a love. A beginning signals that one has moved well past being merely interested and is now immersed in what is most likely an obsession. To begin connotes more than falling in love: to begin is to comm

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Prologue

      Birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. Simple numerical sequences that once marked celebratory occasions for those we loved dissolve into yearly memorials for relationships we left behind. These dates trigger complex memories of friends, lovers, sisters, brothers, fathers or mothers we no longer talk to or see. As you recall the conversations you had while those memories were being made, you remember the words left unsaid.

      These are those words. The words you wish you heard.  The words that aren’t told. The words you fought to suppress, that have become too much of a burden to hold. Like postcards to unrequited lovers or forgotten friends you only see in your mind. These are the letters capturing the feelings and emotions you know have been left behind...

      To my first love, my greatest love, and my last love...

      I have loved you all the same...

      These are just a few of the feelings and words that come to mind...

      Whenever I think of your names...

      I have never walked the streets of Paris in the fall, or seen the ancient columns of Greece in summer. I've never ran on the beaches of Curaçao, or skied in the Alps. Rome is calling my name. I haven't been to many places outside of my home. All these places my heart longs to go before I die.

      To see all the beauties and wonders the world offers is what I'm longing for. Of all the places we want to see, love is where we all rather be. It
