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...

Scented Oil..

To The Lady on the Train,

The memory of your body is printed by scent in our bed.

With scented oil and my palms press love into your skin. I felt it seep through, into your flesh. From my fingertips into the soft smooth strength of your back. From the pad of my thumb into the round of your buttocks. I left trails along the length of your arms and transferred from my forearms into your thighs and hips - and an arc of kisses from your navel to the small of your back as you turned underneath of me...

The oil from your skin, the full length of you rolled onto the sheets...

The scented shape of you lays there still, and fills me this night...

Happy Birthday, Love

Happy Birthday, Love.

You are more beautiful and stronger with every passing day. You continue to surprise and challenge me in so many ways. I am more and more in love with you through everything that we have gone through.

You are more precious than diamonds. You change light and sparkle - everything splintered in brilliance. You amaze me.

Wishing that I could find a way to make this day special for your and to find the right words to convey how special you are...

Wishing you all the happiness that you deserve, all the love that you need, and every birthday wish to come true. I love you.

Happy Birthday.

Just me.

Want...

To The Lady on the Train,

Sometimes when you get just a little bit of something it can make you want even more.

Sometimes I want too much.

We are thieves...

We are thieves Like naughty children in the corner store I will pilfer
an hour, maybe two – let it fall into my pocket unseen.
At home the stolen time tumbles out of my pocket
along with your naked form.
Pale arms and legs
stomach, bum and breasts rolling on the sheets
and your face turned up to me for a stolen kiss


This burgled treasure
secret and shared in a dark room
of early morning quiet
and here on this bed of love lust and longing
we steal from each other and give to each other
until fully consumed, split open like a pomegranate, red juices running down our chins
all our secrets and souls exposed
until there is nothing left to steal


We will lay here
content and holding onto each other
hoping to hold onto what remains of ourselves
until the first sliver of light on the ceiling
the first shard of the day
here to steal itself back and to push us out


The remaining day my stolen hour my secret
