I Remember
Like it was Yesterday
I remember the warm touch
Of your hand on mine
A lingering touch of skin on skin
That sent shivers of anticipation
Up and down my spine.
*****
I remember your scent
As you slowly moved near
That sweet scent of lilacs
Enchanted my soul and
Quieted my fear.
*****
I’ll never forget the way
You looked on that day
Your beauty unmatched
With true feelings unveiled and
Openly on display.
*****
The taste of your lips
Wrapped around my heart
Pulling tears from my eyes
Knowing, at that moment
We would never be apart.
*****
I remember you held tight
And whispered in my ear
“I love you.”
Those three words that changed me
Have echoed
For twenty years.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
