He inhaled deeply as he bent to kiss her. She smelt of almonds. He thought it must be her shampoo, but it was just the cyanide.

 "Have you heard of Colpo di Fulmine?" she asked.


"Love like a thunderbolt, what the Italians call love at first sight, I've heard of it."


"Ever experienced it?"


"No."


"Oh." She wasn't quick enough to hide a tear before turning away.


That's when it hit him.

"If I'm barking up the wrong tree please say and I'll back up, beg your pardon, and behave myself." He bent his head slowly to press her lips in a tender kiss.


"You've definitely got the right tree."

As I stood watching the fireworks, I felt the warmth of him as he came to stand beside me. I felt his hand cautiously slip into mine, his long fingers weaving themselves between my own.


I felt a thrill as his soft, deep voice murmured, "Is this alright?"


All I could manage for the moment was a bare, "Yes."


Then I turned and took his face between my hands, "Is this alright?" I drew him down into a kiss.


His response was decidedly in the affirmative.

He caressed her cheek with his fingertips as though reassuring himself that she was really there as he sealed his lips on hers.


She whimpered softly as his kiss coaxed to the surface desires she'd thought long hidden even from herself.

He removed the glasses from her face and gently kissed her eyelids. Then he hummed a few bars of a tune from 'The Music Man.'


"You always did do romance well," she sighed. 


Torn between longing and regret, she made a conscious decision to fall for his charm once more.

and the night sounds


laugh at my madness

how crazy I am

He leaned over her hospital bed.


She grabbed him by the collar. "Idiot! Why didn't you run? You could've been killed!"


"Me? The bullet that was intended for my brain wound up in your leg!"


She pulled him down into a savagely desperate kiss banishing the ghostly regrets of what nearly hadn't been.


"I don't think that's how you do CPR," said a voice from the doorway.


"Mind your own business. He's doing just fine."


"Just fine?" he pouted.


"Let us say 'Exceeds expectations.'" Her morphine laced smile was as wicked as ever.


"Was I wrong," he begged, "to tell you like that? I thought they were going to be my last words. Was I wrong?"


"Oh God no! What a horrible thought: that you should die never having told me you love me? That's a recipe for a haunting right there!"

"Nearly midnight," she gasped as their dancing whirled them into an alcove.


His half mask allowed her to see those lips she knew so well by sight. No disguise could deceive her gaze. She had worked too hard for this moment, planned too well.


As the clock began to strike twelve, they removed their masks. She had studied his mouth as he taught her lessons all those years ago. She knew just how to kiss him now.

He woke heavy headed and followed the sound of her singing and the smell of coffee to the galley.


She greeted him with a perfectly brewed cup and a kiss.


He sat down unsure of whether he just hadn't found his sea legs or if he was weak from her attentions last night.


"I'm not sure if you're a siren or a succubus."


"Are the two mutually exclusive?"

When he stood beside me and said my name I only expected him to comment on the music, but he asked me to dance.


When he pulled me closer and bent his head I only expected him to whisper something in my ear, but he kissed my neck.


Now he is leading me away from the others and I have no idea what to expect.

"At my age, I never thought I'd fall in love again, " he sighed.


"The best laid plans of mice and men..." I chuckled, tracing the line of his jaw with a fingertip.


"...can't stand up to you." He closed his eyes and kissed me.

In My Own Mind


In My Own Mind


I am a lost voice

I am a poet

I am a tom-boy

I am a lady

I am an inhibited exhibitionist

I am a lover and a fighter

I am a deep dark secret

I am a guiding light

I am an addict

I am a free spirit

I am a bad wolf in training

I am a sheep

I am a garden gnome

I am the rain

I am a guardian

I am a prisoner

I am a nightmare

I am a dream come true

The sting of her slap on his cheek was nothing to the memory of his lips on hers. For that kiss he had broken his heart on the rocks of her disdain so that it now lay shattered at her feet like an offering, a sacrifice at the altar of unrequited love.

"If you had only one chance to kiss someone you fancied, one shot at showing them how you felt, how would you do it?" he asked.


"I imagine," she trembled, "it would go something like this."


She slowly and tenderly pressed her soft lips to his.


"Of course," she blushed, "I would hope that would only whet your appetite not satisfy your curiosity."

"What? Kiss women?" she smirked.


"Kiss women I've just met. I don't know what possessed me."


"Blame it on the moonlight," she purred.


"There is no moon."

I was leaning against the railing watching shapes in the bow wave when he came on deck easily adjusting his gait to the swaying motion.


"I was thinking, " he said. "The moon will be full tonight. There will be music and laughter. I was thinking I might be able to get you alone to kiss you. Then again I was thinking that we're alone now and I don't really want to wait for the moon."

At first I had trouble grasping the situation. After all, it's not every day I have to deal with an entire section of highway that's been coated with spilled olive oil. I took a moment to get a grip...on a nearby guardrail and then assessed the disaster. The eighteen-wheeler lay on its side and we were up to our ankles in extra virgin...what a mess!

"Sit back," I smiled. "Make a lap."


"A lap?" He looked puzzled.


"A lap...for me to sit on." I put actions to words, snuggling into him. "That's better. Isn't it?" I kissed him, just a tender pressing of the lips. "Yes. Much better."


He seemed to agree.

He had tried to deny his desire, but now he bent his head slowly, giving me the chance to pull away. 


I didn't.


My hands were on his shoulders. As he kissed me, I drew them down his chest to his belly and then around his waist eliciting a low groan like a tree withstanding the force of the wind. I pressed my palms to his back and my will to his resistance.

To unravel the riddle of this sphinx on my knees

To rest when I will, to play when I can, to eat what I am given


To chase simple dreams whether with tails or wings


To know home is where I make my heaven
