#encounters
Sparkling brown eyes watching me like no one before. The sun kissing his dark, soft curls. A child of love and warmth staring into my soul. For a brief moment I let go, as much as I dared. Let myself live in the healing moments, hoping for more. Just enjoying what was never mine…

Encounters
We’re in a young-love recession. Gen Zers are slow to trust and averse to risk, we have, it seems, a particular social nervousness about interpersonal exchanges and the symbiosis of love. So we resort to situationships (undefined relationships), a stratagem for closeness, with zero commitment. You can flirt; you can kiss; you can dance. You can have a crush so big it blots out the stars You can have transformative romantic encounters you can care deeply and get hurt badly you can, in fact, be absolutely wrecked by love All without ever being in a relationship. Thank God we’re only young once. . . Songs for this: Die With A Smile by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars Busy Woman by Sabrina Carpenter

recessions
If only another time another place We could escape this life and run away If only another time Across the ocean so far away A chance encounter brought you my way But roots have planted those family trees Another time.. What could have been? If only another time another place We could escape this life and run away If only another time Words shared between us so easily To get us through those lonely nights with fantasy In playful moments a distant kiss Time shows no mercy hit or miss If only another time another place We could escape this life and run away If only another time Time changes, life passes For all we see Shadows of our memories If only another time another place We could escape this life and run away If only another time

If Only
~ *A scribbled note passed from one insider to the next. The day she runs out of people she'll conference with birds, fall asleep a child and wake up a woman, broadcasting from home on the night in question. A hundred years from today, she'll hold on to dead flowers from the fairground encounter. She will avoid the bridge, circle instead around the walls of Jericho. She'll write upon the wall like it was her heart.* ~

The Department of Dead Letters
A novel is writ from the brush of a knee. Stranger in the window seat. What's wrong with me?

Plane Ride to San Antonio

The Laundromat
She who dives down the thorny road in search for apothecary to cure the woes She who didn't know what she would find. Is apparently lost Then one day   a Galahad would come bump her toes Irrevocable. Inevitable, at least. This blasts a loud boom of happenstance Helpless ****** in the face of the egoist Both come to terms and apparently It has to be It simply has to be

Forlorn, Forgone Meetings
We started on the bed, With hushed tones. Hesitant on how to tread. Still, an urge within our bones. At first it was soft gazes, Even softer gasps. Like a fire that blazes, Embraced in a heated clasp. The heat of soft lips, Pressing down, leaving trails Along soft ******* and hips. I took in all the details. Then night after night, I would see the marks, The bruises, the bites Within dips and arcs. It couldn't stop there, I never wanted it to. Though I doubted to care, For the things you could do. Now I lay sated, Awaiting the next encounter. The next fire to be created With flames that devour.

Her smile was the rare alphabet that composed the words. Words that made sentences Sentences that begot paragraphs Paragraphs that turned into pages Pages that turned into chapters Chapters that turned into books Books that told my story. My story that unleashed her into my heart and unveiled my century long love mines My reaction to her smile was the punctuation that changed the meaning of every letter,word, sentence,paragraph, page, chapter, book and ultimately my story. That was far from over ,she changed my world. It was not just a smile but the mark of the finest exploration expedition ever known to my circles. Her smile was the build behind the words, sentences, paragraphs, pages, chapters, the book and ultimately the story that sent me flying. Far from over,it was not just a flight but a first class flight of passion, affection, belonging, attachment and confidence that saw me smile with a smile that moved the mountains and shook the valleys of my understanding. She was the element 115 that changed the alchemy, geography, radiology physics .she changed my approach to the theory of everything. The beautiful soul behind the rare smile that changed everything lays hidden behind the alphabetic curtain of five letters Behold AMIGO Not just a word but a monument

I'm not one to dwell and I'm not one to build while I'm still trying to repair I'm not here to try anything funny Just simple If that's hard to understand well sorry Small talks are no longer an interest I rather get to know you then weasel my way around have an actual conversation an exchange of noise isn't much to go off of tell me something let me see the real you because I'd like more than just a lovely view. Call me odd if you will one thing is for certain My words can paint a lovely picture a self portrait one which people might say my looks could ****

Impressions
Feeling foolish if you ask me didn't take a chance instead listened to my heart beat...... skip because I rather not take a chance Call me a mute when it comes to speaking romance Across the room let me take a step and ask for your number better yet a date time, set, and a place? Not much to offer but kind words and a heart to grow If it's riches that you seek it's a good thing I hold my tongue while the ship sinks but if not then we are getting off to a good start Long walks and long talks  because apparently no body wants to get to know you anymore Rather put it all out there in 1 sentence if you ask me it's not always about patience because life's to ******* boring somtimes not to take a chance .

When would be a right time to show your true colours? I get amazed by those, whose hearts are so far deep inside their souls, and it’s so hard to know their true identity. Does it really worth, masking ourselves? Would it hurt being true in every situation? Because, those who need you will stick around with all your  perfections and imperfections, anyway. Or are we forgotten ourselves and confusing reality with virtuosity? Unless I’m just be delusional, I think broken or not, honest is always the best policy in life!!! @jobiranyc (12/4/2017)
