Thank you! How good it is that the images in these came through. That doesn’t always happen. You’re very kind to take time to read these, and to comment.
I’m very glad you found these, and happier still that one of these connected to something or someone in your life. Thank you very much for reading and for your comments.
It’s interesting that these out you in mind of Shakespeare; he wrote in pentameter, and these are more lyrical. Your words are very kind, and I’m grateful for your reading these.
At First Light
Sweet love, awake,
and with the dawn my breathing bless;
assuage that ache
that clamors in my deep distress
to echo in my emptiness.
Here I confess
upon your lips and sleep hazed brow
amor’s address;
to Cupid’s arrows will I bow
if only you embrace me now.
Hear me avow
my place is at your side indeed,
no matter how
the unkind years may intercede
or where the road
Congratulations on one year, Carlos! AAA is informative, entertaining and fascinating to read. Thanks especially to this month’s authors - and to everyone who writes.
A really hard coming out scene, followed by some hope. But why do kids have to live with hatred like that? And see what it does to warp the minds of those who do? Thanks for posting.
This is a clear trumpet call for change to the way things are. I signed up to campaign for the challenger to one of intolerance’s enablers in my district. You’re right. And we need to take away the roots that make political callousness possible. Thank you.
These are magnificent. Number 1 is a dream vision, and it is vivid and scary. I don’t wonder you reacted as you did. Number 2 left me envying your powers of observation and description. It is wonderful.
This is an interesting story of the complex dynamic of need and love. There are many ways to look at this, but it's important to note you've told us both of John's needs and Nathan's. I wonder if John's friends see which of his needs Nathan fulfills.
Thank you, molly. Autumn is just underway here. I just liked the sound of the second one. And then the third...there are times when I wonder about fitting any proper place. Thank you for understanding.
