It’s Valentine’s Day. I love you M.J. “I have built you a house inside my heart, Wrapped in words of beauty, The foundation my ink-stained in love, For you I will hold the heavens, Your sweat and tears I will carry on my back, In the trenches of life I will remain, To lift you…

Running is a hobby, don’t let them tell you otherwise. “I will paint her, In the most fluorescent colors, In the most vibrant words” M.J. Quinn

I love listening to the music of nature on my runs. “For him it was the subtle things, The sound of her breathing at midnight, The shimmer in her as she gazed at him, The melody of her voice” M.J. Quinn

Summer is only 6 miles away. “Their love was a supernova, It burned strong, And in the blink of an eye, It was gone” M.J. Quinn

Sometimes a run can seem to last an eternity. “You and I were never forever, Our time together was an eternity, The kind in Movies, Our love a page, Meant to be turned” M.J. Quinn

Hydration is important! “He tainted the well she drank from, With each sip, She slowly dies, Until one day her heart could take no more, Yet her thirst was still unquenchable” M.J.Quinn

6 miles closer to a glass of wine. “Come with me to Paris, We’ll sip wine, As I read you cheap poetry, Bathe in my words, Let me cleanse your soul” M.J. Quinn

Sometimes the 6 miles are done in the blink of an eye. Who am I kidding, that never happens! “I can’t recall the time, The day, The hour, The minute, When I first saw her, But I remember the luster in her eyes, Like a wildfire, Her beauty scorched me” M.J Quinn

I feel the pains of aging, but we must persevere, 6 miles at a time! “She was young, But life aged her spirit, The pain changed her, He was a rambling man, The whiskey and cigars lingered on him, Spring was in her eyes, On a frigid and wet autumn night” M.J. Quinn

Running makes me feel alive. “Oh but his pen was a knife, The words plunged deeply in her heart, The pain was candid, She was alive again” M.J. Quinn
