a woman reminisces of a former lover |
So it didn’t work out, fine! There’ll be other men to join me in my ritual Frisbee romps every sunny Sunday afternoon of the year. Accompanied by Junren, my (ever ready to have ritual Frisbee romps, every sunny Sunday afternoon of the year) great beast of a dog. As we surrender our backs to the itchy yet comfortably padded green park grass, we gaze beyond the dragons and sailboats. Passionate yet meticulous eyes discover a velvet blue, deep yellow, bright pink and burnt orange glow that eternity wears when lovers are, well...in love. Surely there’ll be another man that’ll desire my company for a cup of java at Joe’s Café. Someone to stroll arm and arm with, down the cracked sidewalks of New York. Massaging my intellect with arguments and psalms from scholars, professors, and his father, Leon. Surely there’ll be another man. One easily found. He‘ll come to sweep me off my Addidas! Whispering tenderly into my left ear that I’m a princess, before nibbling the tingles out of every nerve in my body. He‘ll usher me to the quiet corner table at Plazzi’s. The candlelight will illuminate his dark chiseled face. He’ll hold my hand as he recounts, just one more time, of what life will be like once his books start to sell. How hard could he be to snag? He’ll fall into my lap just like the last time. Maybe, oh I don't know...drop his suitcase on my fresh pedicure, trip over himself in an attempt to fight the steady row of oncoming passengers and snotty stewardesses. He’ll cup my naked soul into his hands. Reading my eyes, he’ll open windows allowing light, liberation, and love to flood inside. Melting away the calluses placed on my heart, he‘ll lift (by a single ink stained finger) my chin, face, and mind to something I could never have imagined possible. A future and...what was that...a hope? Perhaps then I would get to know the desires of my new loves heart. As chance may have it, he could...oh I don’t know...end up staying on the same island as me. In the same rickety hotel. Down the same open hallway, with the same view of the great shaded palm. Concealing the most beautiful Mediterranean sunset either of us could have ever painted ourselves. He could sit with me, poolside. We could order red swirly drinks at the cabaña while waiting anxiously until evening draws its curtain and the Tango and Moraga are free to mix lust with enchantment... To create the most written about event, any one of my 4 diaries has become acquainted with yet.... |
