Thrills pulsate down my spine
As you stand so close
A new flesh
A new scent
A new touch
Excitement courses through my veins
As the anticipation climbs
Will your kiss be rough?
Will it be tender
Will it be hungry
Will it devour?
You’re under my skin.

Never before and never after
You are the only one for me
Never will I fall and
Never will I falter
You are the only one I need
So never will there be
Nor never will I feel
Another hand for me
My puppies are so sweet
I love their trusting eyes
I love their loving hearts
I love their tender faces
I love my little puppies 🐶🐶
Space in my heart –
Infinite expansion
Force of life flows
From dust to dust
A spirited candle
Keeps burning
My baby
If I could make you today
I would make you with a song in my heart
I would love you with all of me
And I would cherish your life forever
If you were a daughter
Your name would be Olivia Marie
My baby girl that isn’t 😭 I really ache for a baby.
Focused on my son
Swimming diving splashing playing
A split second of eternity
Gently turned my head
To see her armbands
Discarded on the tiles
With golden hair submerged below deep
Cold cruel waters
I was too far
Angels!
My silent scream petitioned heavens and earth
An angel
Any, one, many, please!
In slow motion
I started to move
I managed
I reached her
I saved her
It was not me –
An angel turned my head
An angel heard my cry.
Life can be cruel
And with reflection
It has been cruel to me
But life can be kind too
And so with honesty
I am thankful for small mercies
A nightmare swallowed me
My drowning mother
I reached for her
I grabbed and pulled
She sank
I panicked
She was too far
My heart raced
I couldn’t breathe
She’s dying!
She’s dead.
I woke up
It’s her birthday next week
It was a dream – she is still alive
I will buy her a gift
So I bought her a gift
Which she never received
Because she was already
Dead.
It was to be my mother’s birthday
So I drove to the mall
To buy her a gift
Not knowing
That she was
Already
Dead
