Left


We should’ve left this morning,
Before the dawn set in, 
Packed our bags and walked away,
Left behind this lustful sin. 

Last night was really something, 
Unexpected carnal play, 
But when the sun rose once again, 
What was there left to say?

Chemistry and pheromones, 
Beckoned me to this place, 
Where I found myself with you again, 
Lost track of time and space. 

It never fails to amaze me, 
How I can’t resist your charm, 
Regardless of the consequences,
Or how it does me harm. 

You’re completely irresistible, 
One thing I can’t ignore, 
You always seem to pull me in, 
Leave me begging, craving more. 

Without a doubt, you’re bad for me, 
This will kill me I am sure, 
But how can something that feels so right, 
Be something so impure.

We should’ve left this morning, 
Before regret set in, 
We should’ve never started this, 
But it’s a battle I won’t win.

Sense

I’ve already forgotten the feel of you; The beat of your heart beneath my cheek,  The vibration of your throat when you start to speak. What was it you smelled like when you were here? Tobacco, crisp leaves and bergamot… How is it possible I’ve already forgot? The taste of you has slipped my mind; Your lips so sweet with minty breath, Your showered skin always fresh. The sounds of you are long gone now; Your voice a steady baritone, The echoes of your pleasured moan. The sight of you is something else; Captured in photos and insta posts These are the relics I cherish the most.   By: T.J. Ruberto 2021

Untitled Musings

Sometimes when I write I close my eyes and just type. Whatever words, rhythms and rhymes come into my head I just write down. This seems to be happening more and more often over the past few days.  Today, during some down time I sat down with my coffee and computer with the intention to write something though I was unsure what exactly. I took one sip of my much needed (and well-deserved I might add) coffee before setting it down to begin writing. Before long, my musings transformed into what you see below and a cup full of cold, not so delicious, coffee.  Although this is still a work in progress I thought I would share it here. Please feel free to comment and share some feedback.  For now, I think I will try again with the coffee. Perhaps this time I will drink it while it's warm.  UNTITLED Go ahead, walk away from us, take it all in stride. Don’t look back I’m just your girl, can’t say I never tried. You say the grass is greener on the far sid...

You. Me. Your World.

Everyone struggles sometimes and I am a firm believer is supporting one another through thick and thin, over smooth trails and bumpy roads. Over the last week or so I have been struggling. People... actually... friends, and yes, family too, have chosen to avert their eyes more often than not. People I have known for years, people I have offered help and support to, people I have been there for countless times, have averted their eyes. Perhaps they are being polite by not being intrusive, but that's certainly not how things come across. Sometimes all anyone needs is a little love, a little attention, and someone to put their arms around you and tell you they are there and that they empathize with your struggles. More often than not lately, it seems some people really can't see past the end of their own nose and your struggles are literally water rushing under the bridge on which they stand. I know. A little negative. A little depressing. I promise, I will come back with som...
