We met on an internet dating sight.  I was leaving for the North Carolina shore for 5 weeks.  He said he’d wait, to let him know when I returned to California.  I began to e-mail him my mini travelogue and how my sister who had cancer surgery was doing.  I imposed… Read full post »

 

 

Beth was sweet and quiet, petite and a riot. She roared in like a whirlwind and kept everyone on their toes.  She made everyone laugh.  She was quick with her comebacks.  She was capable and accepted responsibility easily. Her parents were young and ambitious and busy.&nb… Read full post »

        He showed up when winter was in full force, brought in on the gales to land with panache and my spirits were sent aloft; the hope of promised love presented at my feet.  His attentions touched me.  He words seduced me.  His reticence confused

You are water seeking the level.
 I am air going everywhere.
You are are a diary locked away with a key.
 I am an open book for all to read.
You look inward to the  find answers
I look outward, all my senses to feel.
You are peace and I am chaos; yet we are together.

This guy is so sick! 

Just as I am feeling amorous tonight.  Nostalgic and loving and maybe even a little more than amourous.  He says,  I'm one horny bitch... a fine compliment and I do mean FINE.

So where the hell is he?  I'm alone in the living room… Read full post »

“What’s wrong, Honey?  You don’t seem the same.” she said to him.  It took all her courage just to say these few words.  She already knew.
“I’m okay.”  He replied, with little emotion.
“It feels like you are not really here.”&nbs… Read full post »

I was rushing out of the dance club, hurrying to escape from the meat market atmosphere.

The band was blasting out Rock and Roll.

He turned the corner at the landing on the stairway down.

Our eyes met.

We both instantly smiled.

He said, "Do you?"

I said, "Yes,… Read full post »

I read poems of love posted and see  (or assume) how young you all are (relative to me) and think, "Be ready girls, it never ends."  Not for me anyway.

Many of my posts are blatantly smeared with love and sex, funny experiences  and even feelings!  Most are true.  One… Read full post »

I have thought for a very long time that I could use some extra husbands.  Three seems like a nice number, though I realize that may be one too many or perhaps, one too few.  Time will tell.

Go with my theory and see if I makes sense Ladies.   Men who read

My youngest son and his girlfriend had set the date.  They were to be married.   The bachelorette party was to be the week before the ceremony.

Surprisingly, no bachelor party for my son.  His best man being shy and unsure how to proceed, would never get his shit together to plan

August
Unbearable heat rising in waves from the cracked and worn pavement.
Blazing sunlight
Even the blind beggar on the corner squints to avoid the unrelenting intensity
West Hollywood
Once a vibrant, teeming destination of the beautiful people
Now derelict.
Empty store fronts, graffiti and trash littering… Read full post »

    Summer vacation and we are off to Montana for the family reunion with the three boys in tow.  Too many people decided to show up so we had to find a place to stay; only room for the littlest of the “angels”.
    Our best option for shelter and hospita… Read full post »

I believe as parents, all we ever really hope for our children is that they will grow up, enjoy fulfilling relationships with other people,  leave home (at least for awhile) and have a good life.  My definition of sucess.

When Alex was born 37 years ago, I had only the slightest… Read full post »

I was in love with you before you were born.

Then they said you were not perfect,

I could see only the babe  in my arms

A child to nurture and love.

 

 Love will endure.

 

I learned over the years that

You are perfectly yourself.

You would never… Read full post »

I left my lover the other day.  I felt the pull of  love for another that I could not deny.  I announced I was leaving and he said he understood.  That he would wait for me to return and never stop loving me. I knew he was sincere.  It didn't matter,… Read full post »

No re-election campaign in her future.  Now Sarah can devote all her time to 1) pursuing national office or,  2) pursuing her national security/foreign affairs activities with Russia... From her porch.   Read full post »

Your hand upon my breast.

Our first encounter blissful, sweet

No need for sleep or rest.

 

Your mouth on mine so soft and longing

I dare not move away.

Our bodies pressed in true belonging

Imagine being a spoiled middle class white woman, used to PPO health coverage  who finds herself later in life  with few insurance options.  Not enough money to afford an insurance premium (or COBRA) and too much money to qualify for any assistance.  Disabled, unable to work any m… Read full post »

Think about the politicians who are caught in compromising situations and the long term consequences of their indiscretions.  Not since Gary Hart dared the press to catch him, has a politician actually fallen from the political scene ( fallen from grace isn't even in the rearview mirror).
