Chocolate Covered Foreboding
Musings of Neglectfulness
a woman’s heart awaits
a single day each year
her mind and heart filled
with romance, hopes, and dreams
but her lover is forgetful
priorities elsewhere
believing he will have time
finding a token of his love
both share expectations
but one’s is not the other’s
hers, a gesture of love’s depth
his, a depth of love needing no gesture
misaligned expectations
two broken hearts and souls
covered in failure and sting
where now resides a bitter pain
walls rising from the aftermath
a cold shard pierced each heart
will love endure the spreading chill
in slighted affirmation
do sweet confections relate
feelings of deep rooted love
or careless lack of thoughtfulness
careless procrastination
heart shaped box of chocolates
truly don’t testify of love
as hasty devotion, witnesses
to future neglect and woe

Rachel Reviews: Lunch Tales: Teagan by Lucille Guarino
Well, I did enjoy this! Sometimes, all you need is just great storytelling and this is what Lucille Guarino delivers here. There's no big message to this book; it's just about folks and families, living their lives and coping with everything that's being thrown at them and finding their way. But when it's done well, like it is here, then you have characters to whom you can relate, tension which leaves you rooting for a better outcome, attraction which has your heart racing and an urge, as a reader, to see the characters happy with the people with whom they belong.
