Addiction has lured me in
Trapped me with seduction
Tempting me with honey
Mixed with vinegar
Anticipation beats my heart
For that exciting taste
Forget the bitter
I want the sweet

Hide
Hide your life from me
So I cannot know who you are
Or what you do
Hide your heart from me
So I cannot know who you love
Or what you feel
Hide yourself from me
So I cannot know who you are
Or what lies beneath
I can imagine
My best guess for sure
But I will never know.
Because Christmas
Because yum! Soooo gooood!
Closer to Thee
Yesterday I took a moment, and read my posts of the past year.
A year of my life. A year of sharing. A year of growing and understanding.
Friendships made and lost.
Tears and dreams. Disappointments and temptations.
Still struggling for victory. Still struggling to overcome.
But I have been blessed. My family is safe. I have health. Sound mind. A home.
And I still have time and opportunity.
(Lead me, God, closer to Thee).
My Only Escape
Block him.
And keep him blocked.
No contact.
Anticipation
Well, here I am outside our home in sunny Johannesburg. Wildly anticipating the birth of my first born, who now looks down at his mother, and has grown to be an empathetic, respectful, tall, handsome 13 year old 😍

Million Reasons
I’ve always loved Lady Gaga, now I have one good reason more
Love Me Like You Do
It doesn’t make sense
How you can love me like you do
And not even know my name
I cannot understand
How you can love me like you do
And turn around and walk away
I cannot explain
Why my arms remain open to you
Except for one lonely reason –
You love me like you do
Love Ties
Love ties you to me
Across oceans and plains
Time and places
I am bound to you
With cords stronger
Than I could ever escape
Imprinted
Every time you lean towards me
And kiss me like you do
Every time you turn on the charm
And my knees tremble at the thought
Every time I hold you close
Knowing you will never stay
Every time we are alone
Every time I see your eyes
Every time I savor you
Every time I fall for you
You are imprinted
On my mind
My life
My soul
