living love
I.
dancing to their song
eyes flickering with passion
the night too fleeting
II.
a faithful promise
of harmonic convergence
binding him to her
III.
singing a duet
as the days pass too quickly
lifted by their song
IV.
breathing in true joy
between the tiny moments
two hearts forever

Supporting
wild new position
i am pulling out my hair
boss sad but thankful
**Side note – I just started a remote administrative support position. That’s what prompted this piece. Two days in and it really has been exciting, but feeling a bit overwhelmed! So much to learn, so many tasks to perform.

Wish me luck! 🙂

it is time for a long nap
woke up ravenous
finished a big lunch
much more reading to be done
trying for three more
a restful sunday
weekend sadly over now
work again monday

Way above neanderthal
Refined, caring, sweet

Opposites Attract
1.
I
hear your
silent scream
echoing in
the chambers of my achy breaky heart.
2.
Honestly, this open secret is not being very well kept.
3.
french fries and mayo
disgustingly delicious
oddball food combo
4.
serendipitous
our destinies have crossed paths
awfully lucky
5.
Unbiased opinions do not actually exist.
Reblog – Inexplicable by Lize Bard
It does feel like we are in the center of it all, absorbed into ourselves with no way to reach beyond it. Lize Bard captures it so beautifully in this short piece. It really hit home for me. How about you?
