Hand hovering over the door handle, Lucy pauses. The smell of burned plastic makes her gag and she winces as she imagines the scene beyond. The fire has destroyed her once-pristine dining room, although she acknowledges, it had been unusable for a while. Six months to be exact. Ever since Tim moved his collection in. “Only temporary,” he’d said when she protested. “Just while I sort them out.” Temporary my foot. In fact,...

I discovered gardening recently. Yes, I know I didn't invent sticking some seeds in the dirt and hoping it turns into something, I mean I recently discovered the hobby, which is now an obsession of mine. Growing up, my father had a vegetable patch. I remember very vividly each summer looking at the bumper crop of sweet corn, tomatoes, cabbages and herbs that had grown. Back then it hadn't interested me. I think because it...

Oooh you are here, at long last I have met you. Sitting cozy by yourself in the center of the hall as if you are a Hollywood celebrity A-list. Looking at you, wanting more to have you. I can't decide if to approach you or just stand beside you looking, checking if you are beautiful inside as you are outside. My hand wanted to touch you itching to feel how good you are, to read you and know what you are thinking. To learn...

You buried me, but I came back. We made mistakes. I forgive you. That's what love is. Forgiveness. Intimacy. Studying the cracks in one's heart as if they're your own. Just remember, I love you like no other.I'm watching you now. You're even more beautiful as you sleep. I remember our nights here. You'd rest in my arms and I'd watch over you.There were no complications . No doubts or jealousy. No competition for your hear...

You’re reading magazines wrong. See, if you’re anything like me, you treat these magazine things* as highly disposable sources of information. You buy them (or steal them, I guess, and shame on you), read them once (if that) and then never touch them again. You get that sweet, sweet content fix you were looking for. Then it’s over. Maybe you throw the mags away. Maybe you store them in huge piles that threaten to tip over...

Stares and cries..oh what a sight The ring on her finger catches the light She closes her eyes and tries to forget What she had done, so full of regret Weeks ago she told him no That she didn't want him and had to go So how was she here in this awful dress Married and crying, her life such a mess She remembers how she used to be Cheeky and fun the life of the party When they met he seemed so nice And she had wanted to cal...

John was four when he first met Emily - and his world would never be the same again.She was the prettiest girl he’d ever seen, and they had so much in common: she loved dinosaurs and robots and horses; she wished her parents would let her run around more; she was his age almost to the day.There was just one little difference. John was just a regular kid. Emily was something else entirely - already a rising Hollywood child...

When I met youWant and needHad teamed togetherBlinding me  Though learning that your girls beforeWere battled-scarredI was so sureThe blame did not belong with youI missed the signsIgnored the cluesAnd when the snake uncoiled and struckI was ashamed, yet so in loveYour flicking tongueYour piercing eyesHave me feeling mesmerizedYour flexing formSo smooth and paleWinds around me like a veil Every day when I awakeI think of...

I love to be lovedAnd adored(My obsession)I want your attentionAnd more  (My goal)I have such deep greedTo be all that you needWithout giving of me in return(My flaw)

If I were near you, Lying beside you, You would have awoken to the feel of my lips on your body, The pull of my tongue and the wanderings of my hands Devouring you, Me tasting the sweet saltiness that is my reward Sparing not a drop I would be the sun that rises to meet you. You would flourish fully in my light. I would have fitted myself against you perfectly, Spread myself and wrapped my intentions around you. There wou...

I had decided to visit Shanghai with the flurry of movement that invaded the city at that point in time after the war. This decision I took for my interest in the city, but mainly because of my subconscious desire to escape mounting debts, and an unrequited love back home in Marseilles. I took up a low, unglamorous room in the French quarter of the city, hardly surrounded by friends- but at least people living on the same...
