My head is crazy
Sore.
Even so,
My flesh is crazy
Craving you.
Thank you for all previous comments, will catchup soon.

Scribbled
I’m reposting a handwritten poem from last year. It shows my scribbly handwriting! No delete button so for the sake of eligibility and timesaving it is unedited and just as it appeared to me. Actually all my writing is like that, but the delete key sure comes in handy at times. Mostly these days all my writing is typed, and most of my poetry and blog posts are tapped onto my iPhone. Actually, my thumb joints are beginning to complain. I can see myself ending up with arthritis (please no!).
I’ve just noticed this could have doubled up as yesterday’s daily prompt for Refresh. Gosh, nothing came to mind yesterday for Refresh, I’ve been thinking of it the whole day (well, not really!), and here it is right here in the poem!
Across the water
The lights flickered and shone
The night air was cool and calm and still
You wrapped me in your arms
As I breathed in the romance of your
Kisses on my face
My neck, my shoulders
Your love refreshed my soul
And I know I will never
Forget you
Kaleidoscope
The seasons change
Like a kaleidoscope
Held loosely in the palm of a hand,
Altering the landscape
Of the days we have survived,
And what are we to do?
Hold on for the journey
Because the past is no more,
The secrets have all been shared.
While there is breath in us
A mystery yet lies ahead.
Take me from where I am
Alone and destitute
Vision faltering.
Lead me to the waters deep so I can
Dream my new life into being.
Let the kaleidoscope of change
Reveal my next home,
Waiting patiently for me to arrive.
Shining Lights
Every space that we fill
Be it important or small
Every breath that we draw
Be it unplanned or more
Every step that we take
Every act that we make
Moves us closer to be
Shining lights heavenly
Colorful Creation
From horizon to
Horizon, bright rainbow arched –
Coloring the sky
Our First Kiss
Our journey started –
We discovered each other
Fifteen years today
Melody of Love
Chords of melody
Flood my soul
Comforting
Caressing
Soothing –
Wrapping
Me in
Love
Voice
Oh how I long
To hear
Your voice
Darling tonight
I’m aching to
Hear your
Voice crying
Out to me
I can make you
Desire me
If only
You were here
Faith
Hold fast and never let go!
Conceal
I have an allergy to Coca Cola. I never knew this when I was younger, and in those days I wasn’t entirely aware of the adverse health effects of soda. So I used to consume it quite often. A company that I worked for stocked soda, and I used to have some everyday. It caused my skin to break out. Terrible sore unsightly breakouts on my face. I had to wear tons of foundation to try and conceal the redness. The first thing I would do in the morning is touch my face. I wanted to cry. How can I actually be seen with these terrible sores on my skin? One day my BFF caught me drinking soda. What are you doing, she asked? Soda makes you fat. You shouldn’t touch the stuff! I was so slim in those days. And I wanted to stay that way. So I stopped consuming it. And miraculously my face cleared up. I never realized until a few times later, I would have some and a week later was having a huge red bump on my face. Oh no, my heart would drop when I felt it. These were not minor sores, they were massive boil-type bumps that really swell up and were so painful, taking ages to heal. And then I finally realized. Now I stay away from it. And if I don’t, I know what will happen. My skin will reveal my actions. Sometimes, very seldomly I may have some lemonade, it doesn’t have the same effect, though I am conscious of the sugar. Usually I stop at sparkling water. My skin has cleared up. But I still wear foundation every day.
