The Taker

Take him!


Take him from my dreams!

Take him from my schemes!

Take him from my mind!

Take him from the time that I once felt alive—

when he took me back across timelines and eras

when my soul was on fire and my stanzas were clever

when we made love out of words and bodies and minds

when we travelled through air, space and time

to find one another,

Youth & Aged

L. Louise

1 min read

It’s dawned on me, I finally see,

what the “inner child” actually means.


All this time, I had been thinking,

“How, at this age, can I unwind time

and go back to the me who was the shortest?”


“Who was she, and how would I know her?

She’s not in the mirror, she’s barely in my memories, and all those who knew her never seemed to really.”


Yet, I had it all wrong, that’s not who I seek.

No, it’...

still

still …” Excuse me, good sir, it is quite difficult to fill this page with your paw in the way! Oh, don’t look at me like that- I’m writing on a deadline! No, we cannot go to bed yet, well, you can, I should say, you do all day, anyway.


Unfortunately, as I am not a cat, I must ...

five years on and you’re almost gone

from my mind and my heart

but every spring the nymphs do rise

and peripherally I see dragonflies

100 days, 100 sightings,

that’s what we wrote, that’s what we spoke….

hm.

it’s time to move on....

oh, look over there!

it’s a bakery under

the blue striped awning


oh, it smells so good!

there is nothing like butter,

flour, sugar, salt.


oh, c’est du française!

écoute alors! now we

know this is super


oh, don’t you love the

feel of flaky and buttery

croissants in your hands?


ohhhhh, this tastes divine!

I’m in love with this pastry,

this was worth the stop....

Summer Love

L. Louise

1 min read

Oh, to wake late on a summer’s day

by an ocean breeze kissing my cheek,

early risers stirring me from sleep,

seagulls call me to ocean waves.


Sweet summer days, so ripe and so sweet,

blooming with fragrance from the gardenias,

close your eyes, that’s where I’ll meet you

time’ll stand still, and our mouths will greet.


Oh, you look so good with your tan,

and your skin tastes warm and salty,

love...

The Healer

1 min read

Under my feet, I could feel a floor wet dirt and leaves losing their crisp texture. The air was colder than the muggy afternoon of the city, and I could smell moss just under the white covering over my face. I tried not to think about the jarring realization that I had no idea where I was or how I seemed to appear there in an instant.


I stood there with as much stoicism as I could muster, consid...

Blackened Heart

L. Louise

1 min read

We only bring out the worst in each other

Keep each other’s lies about loving others


Lies like, “my heart can’t be broken, it’s just meant to be shared,”

and “love isn’t worth it without passion everywhere.”


But you can’t truly love her if she thinks you’re only hers

And I can’t truly love me if I let you set my worth


So, you say you love me, but, no, you don’t really

all we truly have are the...
