Creative juices flowing
writing “up a storm”
come, sit beside me
and keep me safe and warm

Another tale of love so true,
another dash of woe,
a question of the heroine,
will she stay or go?

It's my choice, my pen in hand
to let him live or die
it's my “ever after”
as the hours tick slowly by

I can “paint” a sunset
or write a stormy sea
all these things I can imagine…
even “you here with me”

Tea Party Princess

Tea Party Princess

Sweet baby girl,
she's a sight to behold
Throws her head back
and laughs all the way
to her soul

Innocence unbridled,
our next generation,
full of love, light and
God's vibration

Let a child be a child,
their imagination run
wild

Dress up and tea-parties,
dolls all in a row,
fancy hats and make
believe, a true princess
show

May we learn
from their teachings
and grow from within
as our inner child
shines once again

Angel Kisses

Angel Kisses

In a sea of quiet
she sings aloud
peeking out from
the clouds, showing
her halo like a golden orb

Her wings spread wide,
it's time for her to fly
and as the breeze brushes
your face, you feel the
kiss of an angel...

Weaving

Weaving

Closure, sweet closure
embracing change
with head held high
and heart wide open,,
open to receive all
things new while
allowing closure
to begin

It is never easy
to let go, even if
the tapestry that
is your life is in shreds,
held together
only by time, tears
and threads
of stubbornness

Choosing closure
is not about giving up
or giving in - it is not
a sign of weakness
but quite the opposite -
it is the ability
to allow yourself
to become the path
you walk and to be
the you who shines

The scars become
something
akin to "trophies"
on a dusty shelf
in your mind,
nothing but
reminders,
as you let the
closure happen
and the rebirth
begin

Weave your own
tapestry, live your life
knowing your
own true self,
weave thyself,
sister, be "yours"
first

And then you
will find how
much more
beautiful
and strong
life's tapestry
with others
can be

Namaste

LOL

LOL
lmao is just a phrase,
but what if it really "left"
I couldn't sit, or have
it pinched, I'd really
feel quite bereft...

lol is a better term
yes, that's the way to go,
but when I think about it
"lmao" would be quite a show...

Snowdrops Melting

Snowdrops Melting

Snowdrops on a winter's day,
my lover by my side


Healing hands that touch
my soul and fuel my
body's flame

Kisses melting inhibitions
as lips taste lips once more

Lover of my universe,
touch me yet again

Into the depths of warm
embrace, where passion
is the key

Night's Bliss

Night's Bliss

Stars surround me,
deep inside the Milky Way,
I twirl and dance,
to the beat of my
lover's heart

Moon's glow as bright
as the dawn, while our
naked bodies, attune
to the symphony of
the other's touch

Inside this realm of
twilight, desirous
souls come together,
flesh to flesh, lips to lips

Til' long into the
morning, when dew
has dropped her
glorious prisms
and we slumber
