Gabriel's Tell A Tale Emporium

Blessed with Sadness Blonde beach babes.  Everywhere I looked there were posters of scantily clad, big-breasted women. Some of them were in bikinis, while others sported glossy-black leather. Every one of these women were a picture-perfect fantasy of the male mind. It was strange to see them, here of all places...yet not strange at all. "Have a good night Michael," I said, walking out of the room slowly. A two-toothed smile, and a guttural grunt was all Michael offered as a farewell to my departure. Leaving the nursing home, I continued to ponder the strange scene that had befallen my eyes and bewitched my mind.  My client, Michael, who occupies this normal looking room is confined to a wheel chair. He is also unable to speak vocally without the use of a small computer that he types into to verbalize his inner most thoughts.  Yet, despite his apparent disadvantage, he is like any other regular man. He eats, he sleeps, he enjoys watching tv and movies, and even plays v...

My pen could never capture the beauty of who you are. A mixture of words and rhyme can not explain the things you have brought to my mind. The hopes and dreams, with just a sparkle of your chocolate colored eyes can cause- the reality is sweeter. They always told me, "You never know where you will meet her..." how true those words are. Just by walking in the room, you light it up like a star, so I hope that I don't take it too far by saying...I adore who you are.

A kiss She pressed her tender lips to mine. Just like the first time, all I felt was an electric bliss. The smell of strawberries filled the musty, red rom with a life not naturally found in the basement of my home. The color's seemed brighter-the red of the walls matching the streak of fire in her shimmering black hair. Her skin, soft and firm as a newborn babe, bushed my own causing my primal excitement to rise  from the dark pit of my stomach in a hungry growl that filled my throat like the heat of a jalapeño. Already I could feel the tension leaving my body like a sweet sigh of blessed release from a pain that I never knew existed within my being. With just a kiss I knew right then and there that the world is a place full of good intentions and spiritual pleasures, wrapped in the illusion of the mundane every day. This feeling would last forever...oh how naive I was in this brief moment of heavenly reality that had turned my room into its whimsical playground.
