About this blog

In Toronto, there is a nightly news magazine called T.O. Night aimed at the commuter crowd. One of the
features that it contains is a section called Shout Out where readers can send a short message, rant, note...
to someone, or to anyone...

I started sending Shout Outs to the woman that I am in love with. Not all of them are published in
T.O. Night - and once the magazine is tossed, so too is the shout out...

Here are most of the shout outs that I have submitted - and some of my other writings to
The Lady on the Train...

While drifting off...

Angel,

If I could tell you now that you are beautiful, would you believe me? With the distance of highways and roads and streetlights and miles of city between us, you would doubt my words. Would you think that I am plying you with sweet words just to flatter you?

I can imagine you in your quiet moon lit room, the cool of the night spilling in the open window. Your dark curls on the pillow, arm crooked above your head. I can hear the rhythm of your breathing and the rustle of sheets when you move.

I know the scent of you... Your perfume a faint linger.. The smell of your hair and the salt sweat of your skin all mingle and fill me.

I know your face and lines and curves of you. I have seen you in bright sunlight and know your shape in the dark. I have traced you with my fingers and in my mind thousands of times...

I can imagine you just as you are - on the edge of sleep and drifting towards dreams. I see your face and smooth skin change as the care of the day fall away. Your shoulders, back, and limbs relax into the bed as you are transported.

I can imagine you just as you are - floating to worlds in your dreams.

You are beautiful.

Just Me.
