dismissed by all,
the last lull of her lyre,

tequila is better than teaI may not be your cup of tea
But I am your tenth shot of tequila.

One way or another.
Peacefully or completely unhinged:
We fit together like two lost pieces
Of a jigsaw puzzle.

SugarSugar
A cup of sugar
borrowed from a neighbor...
One that I have never met before.
Will they even answer the door?
What should I say?

Ledger of Love

Resides a wife, her heart a silent tome.
