Joyful Encore


For some, the passage of time lingers on, so many grains of sand, dropping, slowly, one, grain, at, a, time, an eternity for one without love. Having genuinely and impassionedly, found my one true love, whose endless love I knew I must obtain. For my part, love was acutely and intensely obvious between us, that adoring smile, her youthful, inviting eyes, were aphrodisiacs for my soul, captivating as she is and the instant bond that we had, I felt ill-equipped to even speak to her at first, I knew if I did not, I would have to endure this heavy heart the rest of my natural life. With my most charming disposition and boyish innocence, I made my first attempt to explain to her my affliction and unburden myself of these tender, budding feelings weighing heavy on my heart. As time passes, I find myself dreading those grains of sand, how quickly they fall, your love has made me so aware, how short life is for one who has love, I'm eternally yours, devoted to our life together, till the end of us, as time continues and we meet again, at the end of all things.

Terrance Longtin

I'm 62 years old, I am married, I am an artist, I do abstract paintings and sell them locally and on Etsy in Terrance Gallery. I have had 23 major surgeries on my legs, recently Nov 9, Jan 11 and the next one in April. So I have a full leg cast from Nov 9 thru June 28 so I wrote a children's book which has been published and released to the public March 13, 2021. Also I kind of got interested in writing free verse poetry and I have written five so far. I love my cats and my 14 yr old grandson. I'm married to the absolute best wife ever! One of my tattoos is on my forearm, it's from a free verse poem by Walt Whitman called "Song of the Open Road" it's 15 pages long but well worth reading. My tattoo says "all seems beautiful to me" and there's a Chinese symbol for beauty at the end. Walt Whitman is known as the father of free verse poetry. I actually wrote a free verse poem about myself, which I really like.
