Who am I not to say?: February 2023

Tuesday, February 28, 2023

Our shopping trip yesterday allowed me to complete the materials I needed to frame this colorful card and hand embroidered handkerchief from sweet Anna Isaac . Perfect as we just celebrated our Cotton (2nd) Wedding Anniversary.

Thank you Anna for the lovely gift.

Dear Prudence,

Dear Prudence,

How long does it take

for a letter to get to

an imaginary friend?

Being a figment

of my own imagination

the answer is either forever

they get it

before

I've even finished

writing down my thoughts.

хохо,

Osquer

'Questions Of Creation'

'Questions Of Creation'

Am I the artist or the art?

Am I the author or the word?

Am I the whole or just a part?

Full of logic or just absurd?

Is easel or canvas my role?

Am I to support or amaze?

Do I paint my face, bare my soul?

Am I the shadow or the blaze?

They had never been alone

before.

He had never stood so close to her

before.

She had never been kissed

before.

He had never been so bold

before.

She had never blushed so brightly

before.

They had never been so happy

before.

Though the weather is still cold,

Sonnet I

Sonnet I

For you, dear, I would attempt a sonnet,

iambic pentameter to seduce.

So long since my heart’s had thoughts writ on it;

No one has more vivid ink than you use.

You rustle the branches that shelter me

with ideas that soothe and unsettle.

Though you style yourself jester, I can see

this knight is made of much stronger metal.

Though distance and circumstances part us

the connection between us grows stronger.

Though society crumbles around us

and I trust reality no longer…

tonight I shall sleep, a smile on my face,

wrapped in the comfort of our dream’s embrace.

(for Samual Spade)

Why?

Why can't he see me?

Everyone else can

as soon as the night falls.

Why do the eyes

of him whom I choose

to haunt

never turn

in my direction?

Thank you, Freya. 🙏🏻

#Moriarty managed to open the door and get out.🙀 We spent almost an hour chasing him. I've never prayed to #Freya before, but I begged her to convince him to come back in to me. At that moment he did so. Blessed be and all gratitude to the #Goddess of #Cats for sending him home.

"What's the matter?" he asked, his concern apparent on his face.

What resolve she had managed to hold onto dissolved and ran down her cheeks in tears that burned like the unrequited love in her heart. She would let him go without telling him the truth of why she was crying.

And yet, when he looked into her eyes like that, how could she resist?

"I love you." The words were out before she could stop herself. Hearing herself say it didn't shock her nearly as much as him saying it at exactly the same moment.

His kiss was a surprise almost as sweet.
