Frost | Nancy May
frost in the air
you see both sides

Stockholm Syndrome's Romance | Scott Thomas Outlar
It’s always going to come
just as strong
as you can take.
It’s always going to hurt
just enough
to not quite kill.
It’s always going to burn
like ice
on an open wound.
It’s always going to beat
the will out of you
and then apologize in the morning.
It’s always going to say
I love you
once you’re on the mend.

On the Bed | G. S. Katz
Waking
Two dogs on the bed
Me and you
Eye contact
Some touching and petting
Perfect liaisons
Moments in time…
Ode to J’pura | Anuradha Fonseka
Your dreams will be realized
Though not exactly the same way you wished
Be happy child…! Love what you’ve got
Be grateful to “Him” for what you’ve got
Though not grand, what I got was precious
The dear place let me love it
The giant trees, lawns and flower beds
Soon made me feel home; where I belong
The flowery tops of giant trees
The smiling faces beneath them
And the memories made beneath them
Rejoice my heart to its core
J’pura is the place which taught me
To learn lessons from my own life
A place which taught me to learn myself
And the purpose of my life
A place which taught me not to judge,
Not to trust, but to be compassionate
A place which taught me to smile through
The pain and with he who caused it
Hail J’pura….! Vive le J’pura
Give the love you gave me to
Every soul which yearns for happiness
Through a half realized dream
Soft Rain | G. S. Katz
Sunday morning
Quiet rain
Washing earth’s core
Contemplative and somber
So much to think about
Choosing to not think at all
Winter, heat on high, windows open
Landlord controlling fate, badly at best
Time for breakfast
Boring sameness awaits
Thinking about something gooey and creamy
Small pleasures in the nether world of thought
Revisiting Scent | G. S. Katz
I stopped for a long time
Took a job where smelling good
Would definitely work against me
The urge never went away though
Now I’m back again
But only during my time off
Talking scent
Fragrances for men
That when applied
Take me back in time to my sensual past
Armani, Boss, Burberry Brit
To name a few
Dab a few drops and inhale deeply
Suddenly single in mind, seduction
Waking the next morning
Throwing the uniform of New York City on
Black t-shirt bearing yesterday’s aura
Breathe deeply, inhale the fantasy, proceed…
