      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Sam Delaney Is At Home

      Mar 25, 2024

      I went to see a Smiths tribute band at the weekend. They’re called The Smyths. It was in the backroom of a local pub and it was life-affirming. It helped that I love the music of the actual Smiths. It also helped that the pretend Morrissey was not th

      It’s summer, which means it’s time for a new playlist. Instead of seeking out new music, I decided instead to play through the songs in my current music library, combing for old or undiscovered gems. If you’re like me, you’ve accumulated music over t

      -J.L.S.

      O’, the Boston Bruins,

      What a great team they are;

      They shall triumph again!

      Bobby Orr in the late ‘60s,

      He was their star,

      Ever since well-known.

      Hail the city that brought them forth;

      Hail the players

      Who made it all possible!

      I’m due to see one of their games

      Against some other team,

      And I’m told to be loyal

      To the best,

      Which eliminates all but one

      In this thirsty game.

      11/8/98

      Inside myself, there is a heart

      Which pumps pure blood,

      That flows to the main source.

      All along the routes of my body,

      The warm feeling is going.

      Happy thoughts of transcendentalism

      Are hatching in my mind and floating about.

      Can’t everyone all just be this way

      All the time?

      We all owe it a tribute

      That we shall now call forth!

      12/25/96

      Hear the silver bells

      On Christmas, ring!

      Ring on this day,

      And happy carolers sing

      Softly to my heart.

      Ring, ring, ring, you silver bells;

      Ring, ring, ring, as the carol tells.

      Inside my heart, the Christmas spirit

      Is ringing—

      Such a joyous state it is bringing.

      Stay watchful to the night

      That shall deliver us eternal joy.

      12/25/96

      It’s the most joyous time

      When all pressure ceases to exist.

      My mind is full of questions

      And joy that’s all alike.

      The perception of this holiday—

      Let us start the fun!

      12/25/96

      Learn and experience

      Times of life to share.

      Hold the stillness to my heart—

      Sweet whispers to embrace.

      Eager words are said, so dear

      Things to be reenacted.

      Salvation is found through God—

      True desires that are fulfilled.

      Hence, come to me, my love,

      As I shelter you in my arms.

      Overstep the bounds that thwart

      The happiness that can be achieved!

      12/25/96

      Peace all over

      And happiness for all men—

      This is the true message

      For our Christmas time

      We celebrate the miracle

      At hand!

      12/25/96

      Hold me to your heart,

      Which will foretell of the future.

      My mind is waiting to be inspired;

      Let me in on the secret of life

      So that my hunger can be satisfied

      With brilliance.

      Soft words are spoken

      With light thought as they bloom.

      I feel exquisite in my mind

      As my brilliant words unite!

      12/25/96

      When I saw you walking,

      I found myself in awe.

      A figure of wondrous beauty—

      His mind is seven feet tall.

      Your brilliance astounds me;

      I found a man so caring.

      I shall be happy with you;

      Our love we shall be sharing.

      12/27/96

      How many words does it take

      To say, I love you?

      How should I say

      That I want to be the one?

      Your beauty and mind

      Are far worth anything of mine.

      How should I say, I love you;

      How can I prove my faith?

      Your radiance is enchanting.

      God made something so special;

      I will do anything for you,

      Could I hold your heart?

      You play such a significant role;

      O’, could you be the one—

      Such a wonderful human being,

      Who moves the ground on which he walks?

      My muse and my motivation,

      How can I say that I love you?

      12/27/96

      I can’t understand why,

      This world manipulates us.

      Everyone doesn’t have to be the same!

      Listen to me, my fellow man,

      You don’t have to be banned.

      These wonderful hearts,

      Your spectacular souls.

      Take a look at yourselves in the mirror,

      We can interact.

      No fighting, my brothers and sisters alike!

      12/27/96
