The spot where you lay sits warm
Holding the sweet scent of you in an alluring fog of temptation,
The taste of your kiss clings, hopeful and sticky like savored candy to the soft curve of my lips.
I wonder…
Does his mind retrace each moment we danced under the spell of ecstasy?
Does his mouth water with lust at the sound of my name?
Do his perfect fingers crave the petite curves of premeditated pleasure?
Can he still feel the slow circling of my tongue around his...
Mmmm…
I wonder where he keeps our memories.
Tucked away in his secret slumbers or in a jar of wishes?
Does he recap every second in the splendor of his magnificent eyes or does he shy away?
I awoke in the dark to your absence and for one fleeting moment, I panicked.
Were your soft moans and sweet caresses all part of an overstimulated imagination?
Or had I lost you to the dusty ashes of a one-night arson?
Be still my heart, don't flutter too close to the flame.
The spot where you were sits cold now.
Images of you reconstruct in my mind, begging a manifestation to hold for just one more second, one minute, just stay.
I breathe in the remnants of your scent and realize the surreal reality of your touch,
Oh, how I could have stayed like that forever.

To Leo, with Love
It was the first time Anae had been out with anyone else in years. Hell, it was the first time she’d stepped her dainty little toes outside of the house in nearly nine months. No one really prepares you for the loneliness of isolation during a global health crisis and they certainly don’t tell you how excited and absolutely terrified you’ll be when the gates finally open again.

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.
