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...

A Landscape..

Angel,

There is landscape of continents, countries and territories - ever changing, wild and tame, dangerous and safe, known and unknowable...

I have travelled the flat plains of your stomach and crossed the freckled fields of your shoulders and back...

I have been lost in the wild tubmling curls of your hair, finally emerging by the  jewelled lobe of an ear...

I have roamed the rolling hills of your buttocks and traversed the valley between the twin peaks of your breasts..

I have drowned in the depths of your eyes, wandering and in wonder - never wanting to leave...

I have swum through the waves of your toes and scaled ankles and knees...

I have traced the lines and patterns across your skin - following time-forgotten migrations...

I have bowed to press my forehead to your lower back as a devotee at an altar...

I have gathered in a universe when I scooped my arm around your waist to pull you close - an infinity contained in the rise and fall of your breath and in the rhythm of your heart...

There is a landscape - known, forgotten, rediscovered, charted and uncharted - and forever, a changing mystery...

There is you.

Just me.
