What do you call a person who makes it a point to know your business? One who comes to your place and rifles through your stuff and then shouts to the masses the dirt that they find? Some would call that a creeper, stalker, or a troll. Know what I call it? A secret admirer. …
A little afternoon poetry prompted by the The Sunday Whirl. — As I traverse sunny streets I think of you Your shadow walks beside me, your memory an apparition The march of time gone by echoes like the tap of my high heels on cobblestone The whistle of an arriving train reminds me that things …
Decided I’d rather wait and see where Whisker Burn ended up before I posted anymore. May this will do in its stead. Mature content. — I was sick and only he could make me better. He came when I needed him, and relieved the tension inside of me. He was a glittering gem, leather and …
