A Poem: An Ode to Pure Love

Dear Lovely Lady,

One of the many things I enjoy in this world is words and the many ways they can be combined to communicate strong and figurative emotion, such as in poems or short stories. I would like to share with you a few of my works in 2019. In the poem below, I write about a love that is so pure that by certain standards could almost be described as obsessive. The concept of love is supremely intriguing to me, so it happens to show up in many of my works. I hope you enjoy this "Ode to Pure Love".

Sincerely,

The Refined Lady

An Ode to Pure Love

With you, I walk on a fine line between obsession and passion.

My legs, they tremble

My knees, they’re weak

The path to you is long

I’ll crawl this stretch to you

For love,

To us,

So darling,

Let me show you what I know to be true.

Let me show you what can’t be seen

Through my lens

Look at me and only me

Watch me as I watch you

I’ll make you mine in a way that is just.

A way without lust.

And you will know pain

Endure the suffering

I’ll introduce you to true love.

A Real Friend Never Forgets

Dear Lovely Ladies, Sometimes I ask myself where all the time has gone. I stand there mortified at the number of hours I've spent investing my precious resources into people that are no longer at my side. I feel foolish knowing that I cared so much only to let them use me and forget me. There may be a few ounces of pride in my body that don't allow me to reach out to those I used to consider my dearest friends. However, knowing that fact doesn't change my decision to stay away. I've managed to keep two close friends after college and even they appear to be getting farther and farther away from me, like bottles out at sea. Both of them are off on travels at the moment and I'm left here wondering where I went wrong. A real friend never forgets your existence. They don't go days without checking in on you to see if you're okay. I say this because I think it's mature to reflect, to see what kind of friend we've become. After a while tho...

A Letter from a Dear Friend

Dear Lovely Lady, If you have ever wondered what the world would be like if you could be the best version of yourself, it’s time for you to stop wondering. Ask yourself, what would she do if she were in your shoes? I’m talking about the best version of you. When you’re faced with a choice ask yourself this question and honor her decision. In this manner, you will slowly become her, that best version of you, and you will know what it finally feels like to become that person you’ve always wanted to be. XOXO, The Refined Lady P.S. Don't forget to come back! I look forward to getting to hear from all of you. Cheers!

Lunch Breaks Aren't Just For Kids

Dear Lovely Lady, I'm in the middle of my hour-time block marked "Lunch" as I write you this letter. I hope you're day is going as fabulously as you deserve. I recently had an epiphany that hit me while checking off the to-do list for the day. Sometimes we become engulfed by our work and we nix a meet up here and there with friends. Traveling to and fro for work allows you to see new places and try new restaurants, but often you do it solo style or with clients. This varies ofcourse from position to position, but sometimes we do it for other reasons than just our growing work load. It could be to prove to the world and maybe even secretly to ourselves that we're more than just a number, but a valuable employee and a capable woman. However, all we end up with is a burn out wondering why all of our friends have become so distant. We might question why in the world we're sitting in front of a tv screen instead of being out at a chic down town event with our...
