Poet Introduction
To the world you are only one, yet to one you are the world...
I am just a woman.....
I am just a woman, trying to make it to the end
I am full of hope and love
Yet I am fearful and terrified
I am lots of things I see everyday
when I look in the mirror
I am a mother
a lover
a giver
a listener
a wife
a homemaker
a big time talker
a nurturer
a smoker
a drinker
a dancer
a bank
a taxi
a chef
a boss
a lady
a hard worker
a music lover
a slave to myself
One day itll all be over and I can say I lived my life to the fullest every long yet...

Shadow Love
Its deep within this dark creature
that I find beauty
Shes always moving about
gracefully yet swiftly
not a care in her world
She is my hero
This dark being holds those close to her
never letting go
she is humble and asks for nothing
if you are lucky to catch this whisper silent creature
her embrace will calm your heart forever
She is my Shadow, and I love her...

her embrace will calm your heart forever
She is my Shadow, and I love her...

Me and Mine
Your whiskey colored eyes
and a smile full of bad decisions
make me hot
When are drinks?

Vik~Queens.....(Viking men in delirium)
Behind every powerful King,
stands an ever more powerful Queen
That bond, never to be broken
She is his only path
to his personal destiny
to be forever in united bliss
Yet he takes her for granted
Only selling his seed for those that spread
He will soon learn
His actions are not of those within how you "father"
but within those you teach, as you act
and the mother, The Queen, that is the most important role of them all...
For without her
the children would be run crazy
and the King would...

Gut Punch
This punch is so hard
takes your breath away
Gasping for air
yet life just laughs in your face
Life punches you right in the gut
fucking hurts so bad
As tough as I am
Im begging for mercy here
I cant take it anymore
Im waving a white flag
All the stress I have taken
has been enough for 100 lifetimes
Please have mercy on me, Life
I beg of you.....
Or you can take all this bullshit
and go fuck yourself
then try to find me
and punch me some more ...

Broken images
Shattered pieces of the mirror on the ground
every piece forms a sound
of what I always wanted to be yet not
Screams of my past caused said destruction
loud from afar, then soft whispers so near
that only I only can hear
I catch a faint glance of myself
in the messy shards
these are images Id love to discard
Trying to put these scattered pieces back together
my fingers and soul blood-stained forever
I need to heal in order to see myself again...

One Night Stand
Almost last call
No, no one saw me fall
I think I need a ride home
There he is
weve been exchanging eyes
and even a wink
Even sent each other a few drinks
names on napkins received
Now its time to go
Lets go
I think I can walk
Luckily I can still talk
My place or yours
Neither of us will remember
or you gonna fly solo?
He holds open the door
I guess were both gonna score
I have protection, in all forms
We clumsily get it done
neither of has really won ...

22 YEARS LATER.....9/11/2001
It never gets easier
this catastrophic day, nor the night before 9/11/2001, 22 years later
especially as I still, after 22 years, say goodbye, babe I love you, return to me to my own firefighter/ medical 1st responder
hes been there 24 years ...
May we all reflect and appreciate our lives on this night
and remember every single person affected by this tragedy everyone....
Hug your families
tell your people you love them
tomorrow could be very different than what we are used to....

Chosen
We looked away from the rest
our eyes were only for thee
Never leaving sight of what we wanted
what we needed
what we love and still do....
Its always been my honor to have been your chosen one, and you mine.
We have been frightfully fabulous together for 25 years
Heres to the rest of our lives.....
I will always deeply love you as you love me
A connection beyond words
Now and beyond forever....
We will take this to next realm and more....
We were Chosen.....to love and be loved....
by each other...
