Our guilty pleasure
Lingers long enough to savor
You and me alone
Together

One Day?
Goodbye
That’s it then
It’s been good
Go well
One final hug
And then you go
I stay
Maybe
One day?
Crying Clouds
Raindrops splashing on my skin,
Wash away the tears flowing from my heart.
Joy and sorrow are intertwined
Dark and light to never part.
How I ache to see the sun,
To live my days without a fear.
So raindrops keep on falling
Let the clouds cry one last tear.
Houses and Dreams
I never used to dream about houses
I would dream about romance, love
First kisses, wedding days
Attraction
Men and everything they could do to me
But houses was something I never
Dreamt about
Until one day
I started to
Dream
And it all slipped through my fingers
Gratitude
For each breath taken
Drawing in the source
Of creation
We are created
We are alive
We live
We are
Scars
I had a wound
So deep and raw
I would flinch
Eyes filled with tears
The wound has healed
Etching scars across
My soft pale flesh
Reminders of the
Pain I no longer feel
And I don’t care
Any more
Whispers
If I could blow kisses
I would blow kisses
Gently to you
If wishes could fly
I would send wishes
To fly to you
If whispers could float
I would float whispers
In the wind to you
Whispers of love
And grace and light –
Whispers of a warm embrace
Enemies
Enemies I have a few –
When doing things
Others don’t want me to do.
Making decisions that
May never please;
Their anger directed at me
I can never appease.
Well, I received short notice
To never show my face
And my family and friends
To stay away.
My only shortcoming –
To make a decision
That did not please.
And I’m sorry for you.
Clouded Vision
everything was set up
all we had to do was sign
signature became a decision
skies darkened by clouded vision
under duress I walked away
to regret in coming days
all we had to do was sign
opportunity lost
Love Me
Take me in your arms
And kiss away my tears
Lie beside me
And wash away my fears
Love me gently
And I will love you too
