FATE or SHOT in the DARK
Upon their first meeting, she knew her chances were very slim
but, all she knew was just how very much she wanted him
He was the epitomy of her reoccurring dreamy desire
he and only he would be the one to tame her ever raging fire
Of all the wonderous magical moments he would bring
underneath it all, there's truly basically one very thing
That not just his smile or the way he would teasingly kiss her lips
whether the ones on her lovely face or the between her hips
And also the manner in which he worked his magical hands
that...

Embrace life
Don't ever be reluctant
to let your emotions bloom,
when happiness dances upon your soul,
surrender to its vibrant tune.
Yet when the shadows cast their veil,
embrace them with resilience,
for life's tapestry weaves both light and gloom.
Don't ever be afraid to tread
the path of change and growth,
for transformation's touch may bring
surprising blossoms untold.
With courage as your compass,
navigate uncharted realms,
and witness the miracles that unfold.
Don't ever bear the burden alone,

The Introvert
For too many years that I give into my fears
Being withdrawn not wanting to interact or socialize
And that in a way stunted my personal growth
Unable to connect with others unwilling to compromise
But I knew I could to come out of my shell
After all I had been a leader in my younger days
It would just take some effort on my behalf
I was still shy but a little more mature in my ways
Then I saw how it improved on relationships
The way I listened, the way spoke, the way I was heard
And that in turned helped me understand myself ...

Home again
when forest turn to crimson glow
with the dappled sunlight below
I gather up my gossamer gown
straighten up my flower crown
when gentle breeze begin to blow
caressing the hair on sweaty brow
the songs of birds a symphony
the rustles of leaves accompany
the puffy clouds in the sky
nature's talent in strokes
of its divine brushes apply
leaves of yellow and russets
When night descent dimming daylight
dark curtain with twinkling stars
spread across in cool twilight
walk I home, wandering grace
...

Coddiwomple ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Despite what you don’t know!
Don't worry now -
it's impossible to lose!
Hello! Hello!
It’s time to go – don’t doubt yourself!
Jump right up and step on out!
You may not know
which road to trust - but
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
You’re Coddiwomple-confused!
Being so little so long!
But time has come to choose!
Is “Right” the greater arrow?
Or “Left” the lesser narrow?!

My Heart's Future
Still my heart beats for you my love
while the sun rises each day and I
am awake to see it I know my life
has meaning. If you read this you
will know our love continues as
time moves on and every day it
grows.
Nothing makes me hungrier for
you than to see you lying next to
me waking in the light of a new
day with our future to be written.
If I wake with this future waiting
for me I know I have to enjoy this
day and every other to the full and
show you how much you mean to
me.

Musicians Dreams
My favorite musician
is Pink because
she tells it like it is
She doesn't
sugar-coat shit
she's who she
wants to be
She is misunderstood
To everyone tell
it like it is
be who you
want to be
So let's get
this party
started right

Cum-uppance!
The trees say the wind is real
as do the clouds above,
and in the sonic appeal
of every flapping dove.
And passive chimes by moving air
tell us of invisible things
at work to free us from despair
more faithfully than angel wings.
Yet, heed the breeze up in a rush
because the sky will let you know
when that orthodox April hush
is soon about to huff and blow!
Then hatches must down batten be
when Stormy knickers start to twist
into the hard reality...
of pornstars you have rudely kissed.

Funny Good
For whatever reason I didn't sleep my norm last night. I've been kind of antsy lately, like a caged lion, wanting and needing some shit to jump off. I know a big part of what I need, but I don't want the hassle of what goes along with a sexual release. But something's got to give or my career may suffer. While working in an atmosphere where credit is given for being chipper, and a team player. This phase that I'm going through isn't helping. The crankiness and smiles turned upside down, signals to others not to approach.

The Rising...
Easter is a fabulous time of year
Spring is in the air
Sun shines bright
Flowers bloom
It's feeling fresh
But something isn't right
For someone is dying, lying on a cross
He is in hell and no one can help
He is carrying the burden
The weight of our sins
But with death comes life
A sense of beginning
Renewal
Salvation
Starting over
The best part of Easter is...
Knowing he has risen
Born again
A man you can't put down
After your resurrection
You reigned for forty days - ...

Becoming
Sometimes we’re met with contradictions
Our whole world crashes around us
But out of the ashes begins a new blaze
In the blaze a new woman is born
She rises up stronger than ever
She reflects, she rebalances, she realigns her soul
We forget souls can be so easily broken
We forget we’re quite sensitive beings
But it’s the lessons you learn along the way
That make us the people we are always becoming
Live, laugh and love
Live every day as though it’s your last
Live your life your way
And don’t let anyone ever...
