HAUNTED *excerpt from Inside the Dragon's Heart*

Haunted

Haunted from the darkness of the eyes

Enchanted with a glistening smile

Enthralled by contours and curves

Obsessed with the untouchable

Lusting for the unattainable

Desiring the pleasure of the flesh

Yearning for a glimmer of hope

A chance to touch a dream

Nights filled with mental imagery

Experiencing that special moment

Two bodies in gratifications

Waking to a cold hard sweat

An illusion that will not fade

A mystery wanting to be unfolded

Longing to feel an emotional connection

A fantasy consuming life

Through messages and pictures

Imagination replaces reality

Visions control every consciousness

Haunted by a what if

A brief encounter could fill the void

Ease the suffering of the heart

Feeding the craving cures the preoccupations

Single embrace releases the ghosts

Forever haunted with the impossible

A remnant of sanity remains in tact

Preventing the total destruction of the mind

Yet still yearning for the affections of another

Haunted

A Pitt Meadows neighbourhood just got cosier.  September 22nd saw the opening of the 'Café Encounters'. Located nestled in the base of the condominium complex at the corner of Davison Rd and Harris Rd.  Owned and ran by Susan and Andy Hunt. Their electric personalities, cozy atmosphere and coffee beans care of the '49th Parallel' make the visit homey, warm and relaxing.

With a blossoming customer base, delicious treats and live entertainment on Friday evenings will make this a perfect spot to catch up with friends.

Moderately priced coffee and speciality coffee made barista style along with some seasonal favorites like Hot Apple Cider and Pumpkin Lattes give the cafe an enticing aroma. Don't forget to try a sample of their biscotti that is beside the coffee prep station.

Sandwiches and of course decadent treats round out the visit to the cafe. They even have toys for the kids! What more could you want from a neighbourhood coffee shop? Well how about Daniel Chocolates, hot soups and chili and homemade hummus. Yes, you can get it all here and in the summers you can look forward to gelato, milkshakes and floats!

All in all, a cafe worth checking out.
