love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Sailing on the Moon
She didn’t wait long. The sky played with the colors of pink and blue and purple, the soft edges of the clouds dipped gently in gold. Sunset’s magnificent painting, washing away the day. She knew that “tomorrow is never promised” as they say, so she took a deep breath and let go of what seemed like bundles of failure. She let the fear drown in the disappearing shadows and watched the spectacle of light dance on the water and forgive the disappointments.

I fell in love
APRIL Today, when I looked into your eyes, I knew I had fallen in love. I knew that I loved you and that I wanted to be with you. I knew that as soon as I left your side, I’d be missing you, your fragrance, your smile, your questions… Don’t ask me how, nor when, nor why, because I’m at a loss as to why my heart chose you. Perhaps it was your gaze that had a way of penetrating my soul while we made love, perhaps your actions that set off a multitude of feelings within me that I didn’t realize I was able to possess.

Why Love Is The Greatest Pain
I want to start with a quote that I love a lot and it’s from Roland Barthes: “Love, At First Sight, Is Always Spoken In The Past Tense. The Scene Is Perfectly Adapted To This Temporal Phenomenon: Distinct, Abrupt, Framed, It Is a Memory”…

Bowing Out. Top Story - April 2021.
He was coming home. She could sense his ship on the horizon before it appeared. The white, billowing sails. The way the sunshine bounced off the bow and back into the sky. The subtle groaning of the ropes as they strained against their ties. Every detail was etched into her memory like carvings on an oak tree.

The Wrong Ship Came To Port
Charleston, South Carolina July, 1803 I dressed for my daily trip to Charleston to wait for Etienne’s ship to come into port. While it’s never known when a ship from France will arrive, based on my last letter from him, and having made the trip myself, I had an idea of what the window of his arrival would be. I had not heard any reports of bad weather so at around the six-week mark, I began my vigil.

Ships at a Distance
How do you write a love story when you’re sitting on the couch at your parent’s house watching a Pixar film at 10:23 p.m. on a Saturday that happens to be the birthday of the last guy you really cared about? And really wishing he knew you’d remembered.

The Governor's Bride
The pirate ship appeared on the horizon like a tease. Caroline stood at the water's edge, collecting clams in her hiked up skirt, her toes tickled by the sultry water. Her husband craved them, sucking the clams down with a relish that was oddly sexual. She abhorred the squinch of the soft, rubbery clam bodies against her teeth even more than the taste.

Year 11
Sarah still watched the horizon, but as an act of dedication, now. She had maintained her dwindling supply of hope over 11 years, doling it out in increasingly small measures, fingers crossed that it would last her until Charlie came on home to her. She lasted longer than anyone expected her to, but on the 4,016th morning, Sarah desperately searched for the faintest scent, the memory of "Maybe, someday", and found only a festering certainty of despair. She had always believed on some small, involuntary level that she would intuit it when Charlie died. She'd feel it like the abrupt loss of a limb and she would somehow be less herself.

Love From Ship to Shore
Magnus is one attractive guy. You would think all eligible bachelorettes would be lining up in line to grab a hold of this attractive hunk, who has just turned over the hill (age 50 precisely). Not so. Not because of this age, yet he has never found the process of dating, courtship and mating to be his strong suit.

Love You Forever.
Akash neared the gate of the docks and was excited to see a ship on the horizon. Slowly he could see many other ships. His truck halted behind other vehicles. The security men were checking the vehicles one after another and also the dock permits of the entrants. The previous vehicles had entered the dock; it was his turn, and the security person began checking his truck which was full of provisions.
