POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
A Love-ly Story
For the sake of those who dont know.... (which of course, is everyone)
Mer is my daughter Marriah, she has been Mer...forever
Dominic is her fiance
Lahna is my sweet granddaughter
A young girl, named Mer, many found to be the absolute, utmost
Shall we say...Determined? Stubborn? Willful? All of them I suppose.
Learned a baby was coming~ when still young and herself yet a child
Slight in stature- yet stronger than most- a force behind an angel's smile
Less than five months a baby to come- undeterred, whether ready or not
To all's surprise and my...

Sweet Sixteen
From that cute little blond baby you used to be
To this beautiful young woman I see in front of me
From watching you stumble from crawling to walking
Then hearing you fumble from babbling to talking
When your favorite toy was daddy's work shoes- never
a baby doll
Then your favorite thing of all was a worn out old
football
From teaching you to read and write and play a child's
games
Then, all of a sudden you are graduating eighth grade
I lay my beautiful daughter down in her crib then turned
around long enough to blink
The next...

The Great Garrett Girls
Tianna with her cute glasses and blond hair
has the softest of hearts and a soul full of care
Born in June her personality is as warm as the sun
always ready to play a game or find some fun
Through her eyes you can see all of her love for living
and always know it is all of her she is giving
Marriah with her pretty face and golden eyes
has a soldier's heart..willing to give anything a try
Born in January she can warm your heart like a blazing fire
with her sweet smile, make your hopes soar higher
A neverending stream of courage wells inside of...

If Only
If only~ my dad had been a better father to me
If only~ my mom hadn't been so blind as to not see
If only~ my foster parents had wanted me to stay
If only~ I felt more secure, so I didnt have to run away
If only~ There wasn't so much pressure to conform
If only~ There wasn't the need to perform
If only~ He had kept his hands to himself
If only~ I knew how to get someone to love me more than
anyone else
If only~ Love could be stronger than any amount of time
and distance
If only~ I could be worth more than just a peasant's

Solitude
When the night settles in and the moon takes over for the sun
The long night of solitude has only just begun
The chill of loneliness sneaks in and freezes solid all my
thoughts
Slipping away is all the peace of time, peace for which I
have fought
Tossing and turning in my own hell that takes over every
long night
Reminding me- again- of all the things that lurk in my
moonlight
Memories and regrets of all the things I couldn't finish
or even start
Thoughts of all that is left behind...my girls, my husband,
my heart

Mornin~Glori
Running hands down from the very top
Over my waiting body begging him not to stop
Along my back and over my thighs
Getting his fill with hands, mouth, and eyes
Fingers feeling my body~ every single part
Unable to stop any of it once it starts
Mouth following close behind
Tongue licking, lips sucking anything they can find
Blowing cool air on my spit slick skin
Sends sensations through me over and over again
Running his tongue down between my legs...unafraid
Licking and sucking; he and there leaving when I beg him to stay
Admiring...

My Hero
Young girl- eldest of the three- glasses, blond hair,
skinned up knees
Ahem… rough n tumble.. trucks, wrestling fan, dirt
bikes, climbing trees
Not one for that girlie stuff: then or now- never a
dress that wasn’t torn. She's not of that world
Tomboy at heart- no hairdos to choose… fishing, riding,
mud. Ha!! Some (not) girl.
Making fire pits, racing go carts, camping and even snakes,
she was hooked
Never wanting the girl things: makeup, clothes, and shoes,
she never cared how she looked
Too early- she suddenly became...

Fountain of Youth
We spend our time tossing pennies into the
fountain of youth
Forever checking to see if time has stopped,
but can't find any proof
Days float by and carry you right along,
ignoring your hope
Neverminding the fact that your youth is an
all too slippery slope
Inevitably the days pass and with those lost
days we grow
There is the insight of experience and all
that we now know
Learning to accept the fact that no matter
what we may do
We become older, wiser, and share some bad
times and some I Love...

Opposites Attract
I'll be your bright morning~
If you'll be my dark knight.
I'll pull you close- holding, caressing~
If you'll push me away with all your might.
I'll deposit your kisses in my pocket, so I can keep count~
If you'll overdraw my heart in massive amounts.
I'll overflow your hands with the love in my heart~
If you'll drain it all out and tear it apart.
I'll renew your belief in love with the utmost care~
If you'll demolish the frame of me & leave nothing there.
I'll hold you together, bind with the pieces left of my heart~

A Woman's Heart
A woman's heart has the power to control her life~
either stay for love or leave because of strife.
A woman's heart can be shattered by pain~
because she loves more than is usually sane.
A woman's heart can beat with wild abandon and anticipation~
wondering what will be brought on the next sensation.
A woman's heart can harden from feelings of the unknown~
not knowing what to expect can turn it to stone.
A woman's heart can burn with feelings of great love~
and things that until now she's never heard of.
A woman's heart can smolder...

Think of Me
When you're beat to the ground, can't get up from
your bruised, bloody knees~~
Reach out your hand, help is there, strength will
come to make it easy ..........
Think of Me
When the silence is deafening and what sound you
manage to decipher isn't really any~~
You find the laughter you left in my heart a little
giggle to make you smile.......
Think of Me
Echos grow louder- careening to the next side after
a million too many~~
Listen closer...

Journey to Love
Knitted~ looped and twisted into daunting mountains of tightly
wrapped mental rope-
Unraveling~ yet still- the edges fraying faster and faster the
harder I try to cope.
Increasing~ the heartache- mounting more and more with the bend
of every turn-
Decreasing~ what there is of me- I thought I knew more, yet there
is more than an eternity still to learn.
Standing~ in my own way, unable to go around self so that I can
find the path leading to tomorrow-
Falling~ down the, opposite of the up, making me to claw...
