Blurb: Alone in the Night

 Alone in the Night


I can’t stop thinking about you, and I can’t close my eyes without hearing the sounds.
I hear the beating of our hearts like when you were still with me.
I can hear your heart so close, yet you’re so far away.
Alone in the night, I hear everything from the water dripping to the flickering lights.

Poem: A Love Letter

   A Love Letter I’m sitting here writing to you with my heart and mind thinking of you. In that place where you’re now, what are you doing? Is the sun shining down on your beautiful smile? Is the wind blowing through your tender hair? Here, the rain’s falling, making it so sad when I have to remember of you. Tonight, when I close my eyes to sleep, I hope I’ll dream of you. In my dreams, I hope I’ll hear your voice and hear the laughter I’m missing. Tomorrow, when we meet again, I hope the sun will shine on us. I hope to walk with you down the roads hand in hand like we always do. Right now, I hope the love from my heart will fill you with joy when you read this letter. I’ll wait for you to write back to me in the loneliness of the night. Your love will brighten the dark starless nights. Your love will burn through the tears in the days to come. The love I have of you in my heart will melt away the fear and the loneliness of being without you.

Poem: Alone Again with Love

  Alone Again with Love I remember the times we were together. They were the happiest moments in my life. All those memories were so happy, but now, there’s nothing here with me. I’m alone without you, with no one to talk to. Can you see you’ve hurt me badly? My love for you was true. What’s left to say when you’ve left me? Nights are cold without you, and sometimes I wish I’d never met you because then my heart won’t be broken right now. Had I never met you, then my dream won’t be dying today, and I’d be happy without you here. Had you not loved me the way you did, I wouldn’t have to remember of those loving nights together. Had you not spent those nights holding me tightly and sweetly, I wouldn’t be in pain today. Now, there’s only an image of you and nothing else. The love songs and the passing hours remind me of you. Sometimes I wish I’d never met you because then my heart wouldn’t be broken and my dreams wouldn’t be lost. And alone, I’d be happier knowing tomorrow will be a br...

A Look Back - Favorite Author: Lois Duncan

Image
One of my favorite authors whose novels I loved to read during my teenage years was Lois Duncan. I was very sad to hear of her passing in 2016.  I read many of her teen, horror, thriller books including I Know What You Did Last Summer, Down a Dark Hall, Summer of Fear, and Killing Mr. Griffin. For me, the early 1990s represented a time when teen horror fiction novels were on the rise. Duncan was one of the authors who really captivated my interests even though most of her novels were written in the 1970s. However, the novels really pulled in a wider audience in the 90s with the teen/horror/thriller/suspense genre picking up thanks to many other authors including Christopher Pike, R.L. Stine, etc. Many of Duncan's novels are also not that long, which was how many of the young teen fiction novels were during this period. If you like the teen/horror/suspense genre, give Lois Duncan a read. I would recommend reading I Know What You Did Last Summer, Daughter of Eve, and Summer of Fear -...
