Words melt into

hours

of

flowers

flowing

freely

familiarity

unexpected

but

embraced

left with

possibilities

hopes

dreams

of

tomorrow.

That August day

made me pray

for MERCY!

My head was pounding 

like a woodpecker on

a metal roof

Could hardly see

my eyes were strabismic

I reached...

in my disarranged

medicene cabinet

in my dim

bathroom

pulled out the first

pill box

my quavering hands touched

I squinted my confused eyes

to examine the fine print

Yes

Youth once again

beats in my heart

With the mystery of you

The man of my dreams

comes to me in words

on a page

So sweet and tender

Yes

I surrender 

to you my sweet one

I will walk the path

of innocence once again

With you...

First kiss

flirting eyes

My breath

taken away

I would love to take

your words away

with my beauty

My silhoue...

Looking back at life

like chapters in a book

I sit back in my senior years

with time to contemplate,

What seemed like the worst times

often added up to the best times

Now I have my last book

empty pages to be filled

I am thrilled to write

my last...story.

Hate

is crippling

grabs your heart

makes it close down

brings a big huge frown

to your face and others who

are the victims of the emotion wrong

It's a feeling not needed for any reason

not for any time or for any season so

let it go do not let it grow cripple it.

I'm like sunshine...

I will bring warmth and light

to your world.

Grab my beams and I will burn you!

You can't own me

but I will be a good mate

if allowed to walk with you

not dragged by you.

Enjoy me and I will enjoy you

then life will shine on both of us.

I would love to experince

a love that is:

real

lasts thru all up's and down's

is gentle but firm when needed

A love that is:

friendship

and forgiveness when respect has been breached

that cares how words effect the other

A love...that does not try to own

but to be with

one that can be taken to the grave.

With no words

I tend to not find things sacred

but rather memories

Things can burn up in a fire

Like the first time I saw my son

when they laid him on my stomach

Like the look on my husband's face 

when he said "I do"

Like the look on my son's face

when he too said "I do" to his sweet wife

Like the time as a small child when my big brother
