Your voice slides inside my mind like silk panties between my thighs and I can't get you out of my head..
So Deep, Part Two – Original Poetry
Is love really supposed to feel this way Entranced yet terrified that it could just as easily go astray Don't want to admit how in love I am with you today So I close my eyes and pray that your love will always stay So deep
“In the middle of a street in Camden, NJ” – by J.T.Austin Jr.
I read this short essay at his memorial service this past Saturday (more to come about that) and several people have asked for a copy of it, so I am posting it on my blog. It was one of many small glimpses into the sensitive side of my dad that until his later years, was only uncovered in his writing.

I want some old school love… Original Poetry
I'm yearning for some old school love. That sweet love that kept you up on the phone all night.
