Mother's Child

Mother's Child

Knowledge,
take hold and
help those to
see that our
land is in dire
need of tender,
loving care

Many of our
children know
not what a
good meal is,
but rather
live on processed
diets that leave
them feeling
sluggish and
in some cases,
severely obese

I speak from
experience of
ignorant bliss
and a case of
working too
much, being
too busy to
establish a
regiment of
exercise and
healthy living
not only for
myself but
my loved ones
as well

May our nex
t generation
and the ones
to come, realize
how important
it is to truly
come back
to the Mother
in more ways
than one

Anticipation

Anticipation
Seductive thoughts
stroll across my mind
like a slow, easy
summer rain

Wanting is second nature,
while anticipation is a
new found friend and
one I have come to
enjoy spending time
with on a daily basis

Lusty thoughts
find their way
into my day like
tiny beams of
light reflecting
my mood, my
inner happy

Lonely is taking
a backseat to
thoughts of
touches and
intimate moments

Finding you
or you finding
me, whatever
the case may be,
has brought me
more smiles
than gold...

Waking Up

Waking Up
Realization is
sometimes like
a fast moving
train, you try to
get out of it's way,
but when it's bearing
down on you, eventually
you have to acknowledge
it's presence

Thank you, God,
for my train
of thought and
helping me to ride it

Happy??

Happy??
It doesn't matter
who you are or
what you do in life

It's how you count
your blessings, toils
and even strife

If you are the sour
grape in life's little
bunch

You're sure to miss
out on happy
times without
so much
as a hunch

So I say to you
when dark
clouds loom,
remember rain
makes the
flowers bloom

Now I may be
living a fantasy
that you think
is just not real

But I'm the one
who's always
smiling, while
frowning is
your "real"

Evil's Son

Evil's Son
He walks by night
yet cannot by day
and wicked spells
he may cast your way

He makes women
want him just
with a smile,
trying to steal
a soul, all the while

His heart is made of
the blackest coal
and bitterness his
one true goal

In your dreams,
he'll dance with you
and make you feel
like a princess true

Shadowed nights are
his finest hours
he'll bring you gifts,
chocolates and flowers

But do not be
be fooled
by this one
for he is evil's
very own son

You may recognize
his evil grin,
he's all manner
of greed and sin

Now that you've
been warned,
please beware,
of the evil one
without a care

Is That You Looking At Me?

Is That You Looking At Me?
I like that look,
that look I see
when you are
looking down
at me

I like the feel
of your lips
tracing mine,
sending shivers
down my spine

I enjoy the words
whispered in my ear,
as you hold me oh
so near

I love the way
your heart
beats faster
when I touch
you there
and the way
my body
trembles when
ecstasy we share

I enjoy your
every move
as our bodies
entwine, welcome
to bliss, it feels
absolutely divine

Perfect World

Perfect World
There was no
childhood illness
to take them
way too young,
a land where
happy was the way
and nursery rhymes
were sung

Child abuse did
not exist and they
never had to be
afraid, their smiles
brought more warmth
to hearts than the
sun had ever made

Now I know
this was just
a dream of my
mortal mind
but I beg you
teach children
no hatred,
rather simply,
how to be kind

If you do this one thing,
I am sure we
will all see
a better world
before us, the way
it really should be

A Woman's Worth

A Woman's Worth
They say we are
impossible to figure out
Man constantly wondering
what we are all about

Sometimes we smile
when they watch us walk
Other times we're sultry,
stubborn and even balk

It's been thousands of years
my male counterparts
but the truth is we are
easy to figure out
we think with our hearts

We believe we must
carry the world on our shoulder
And the more that is put
on us we seem to grow bolder

So I would say to you
oh strong ones, stop trying
to figure us out,
just love us so deep
and trust us, without doubt

Otherwise, my friend, you see
you will end up in complete
and utter misery...

Full Moon's Blessing

Full Moon's Blessing

Moonlight guide me
straight to him, o'er
that mountain steep

Lead me through that
rocky path to the
valley where he waits

Bathe me in your
calming light
when jitters
make me giddy

Shine me to
his very door and deep
into his heart

Bestow on us
your glowing
strength for
all of our days
