Romance
A timeless etching, hewn into the tree with my jackknife, on a day of perfection. Even the birds were singing. Beginning hesitatingly as our first encounter, a possible dip into romance, expecting nothing and wanting everything.
Hours of lonely contemplation, pondering over books of poetry, novels of great lovers, and dreaming in darkness of a world I wished to know. I let my imagination believe I could be one of these characters, live the life of a great lover, and only needed to find that special one.
Then it happened, two hearts meeting and carved into one, the longed-for attained.

One Liner Wednesday
Milk! Which of course allows me to complain my last Instacart order came with a bottle of expired milk. What fun online shopping isn’t! And I have yet to receive a refund of non delivered items a month ago.

The Letters
***
They were written with care, the cursive letters so politely placed on beautiful ivory parchment. Even as I touch them, a feeling of love stirs deep within my soul. It has been so long since they were written, too long since that same feeling had enveloped me, too long.
After he left, I still kept the letters, now in a larger envelope, not tied with a pink ribbon or scented by a dried rose, but in a Manila envelope marked “private”. I wonder after I’m gone, will anyone read them or respect the privacy notice and discard them instead? This is something you wonder about as you sit by yourself, pondering over old missives. Should I dispose of them myself, should I try to forget what they meant so long ago? I don’t think that is possible.

MLMM Wordle – Castle Tour
The stained floorboards creak and the deeply etched marks, possibly from a claw, are only two of the creepy signs that caused my yo-yo mind to soar quickly from love to hate. The truth is, I saw the brochure ahead of time and was anticipating a fun dip in time to the days of knights and castles.
The visit to a morose setting inside the walls of the keep envisioned a prisoner of singularity who may have been waiting to have his neck thrust upon a bloody stump. It was as horrifying as I previously imagined and I hastened my steps to the open courtyard.

42 Words – Fantasy
My initial adventure into the world of fantasy was letting my imagination reach where my physical being faltered. In my mind I could travel to exotic locations, climb mountains of epic proportions or dance in the Russian ballet. Fantasy allows those dreams.

Monday Movie
This week a documentary on Netflix: “Father, Soldier, Son”. I believe it is a film to note because we need to remember this is still going on and its consequences.
