After all these years

Posted on by

Life is funny…
ironic even
You are a dream
Dreams come true
True as life
Life happens

Life is a circle…
Through experience and friends
We were connected
Like asteroids in the cosmos
Our circles bumped and collided
in space and time

Life happens in time…
Timing is everything
The time wasn’t right

After all these years,
I think back…
Strangers?
I think not

From the start
Radars alerted
Glances given
Smiles received
Hearts beat
Energy electrified
Intensified

Time is energy…
Sweet pangs triggered
Waves of wonder and curiosity
Moments enveloped
Developed into dreams
Dreams of fate
Glimmer in the shadows
Patiently waiting

Waiting…
for what?
For time…
A chance crack
A blossom of hope
Something
Out of the blue

Fate happens
Faith endures

The window cracked opened
Chance breezed in
A breath of fresh air
Embraced with a hug
Welcomed with a kiss

Embers rejuvenate 
Slowly, surely
Emotions combust
Feelings meld
Life binds
Dreams solidify

Fate happens
Faith endures

How long did it take?
Seemingly forever
Everything in time
LIFE does reveal itself
Eventually
However it takes

Timing is everything
Now is our time
Time is life
Life is a gift
Life is funny…
ironic even

Ode to a teenager

How two people can live together
And not say a word to each other
Is beyond me
When did it go wrong?
When did the smiles stop?
When did the kidding cease?
When did the love go away?

I’ve known you forever
For all of your life
I birthed you
Nursed you
Bathed and fed you
Soothed you
Played with you

It all seems a lifetime away
Days now dark and grey
Clouded and hurtful
What little we do talk
Your eyes are dead
I can’t look
But I need to

I need to let you know
I love you
You are my seed
You are a part of me
I am a part of you
When you hurt
I feel it

Still, I see you
Beautiful, intelligent
Shyly confidant
Well liked
The world will be yours
I want that for you
That is a mother’s wish

I am your mother
That will never change
We will not always live together
May not even live near
Distance in miles is bearable
Distance in heart is not
I hope that’s not the case

Hope is sinking
I’m fighting it
I have no choice
Can’t let it go
Heartfelt wishes
Heavy and deep
The loss is numbing

You are my seed
You are a part of me
I am a part of you
All I can think of?
All I want to do?
To let you know
I love you

Magic can happen

You found me out of the blue
I know I certainly wasn’t looking
That stress ended years ago

An innocent friend request
That’s all it took
And a warm smile

From the beginning, easy and casual
With an odd sense of being familiar
Our conversations were effortless

We shared stories, music, laughs
Opened up about pain and loneliness
Grew closer without really trying

In time, taking that next step
Inevitable, enticing, exhilarating
Butterfly jitters soon to be calmed

A whirlwind of firsts
A smiling gaze, a brush of the skin
A kiss enveloped in a hug

Understanding without saying
Time ain’t easy… life, neither
Never seems to be enough of either

Yet, we do the best we can
Embracing the moments
Making memories to last

We were never strangers
Picking up from where we left off
In another lifetime

It just goes to show
magic can happen
when you least expect it

I am resigned…

I am resigned
To live a life alone
That is my sad existence

I’ve always known it
For as long as I can remember
Didn’t want to believe it

I’ve lasted through it
Like a hovering cloud
Some days darker than others

Life, it’s sweetness and happiness
Had me on the verge
Ever on the outside looking in

Often dreamt of
A sense of belonging
Eluded me

Often wished for
Love and being love
Has missed its mark

Even the unconditional love
The “love you thru thick and thin”
Has left me

Unsettled and strange
Desperate and deflated
Scared and lonely

But, I am resigned
To live a life alone
That was my sad existence

What Do I Want?

Posted on by

I want to see you.

I want to look in your eyes.
I want to touch your face.
I want to catch a glimpse, up close,
of that sparkle in your eye when you smile.

I want the feel your arms
wrapped around me like a blanket.
I want to nestle my curves to your frame
and ease into a jigsaw-puzzle perfect fit.
I want to press up against you
and feel our hearts beat in unison.

I want to exhale in content.

I want to be tickled by your mustache
as you nuzzle my neck.
I want to hear the low rumble of your voice
as you say my name sofly in my ear.

I want too kiss you.
Ooohh, do I want to kiss you!
I want to feel the heat rise
as you return my kisses
with a steady and fueled passion.
I want to be transfixed by the simple pleasure
of tasting your lips, your tongue.
You.

I want to breathe-in all of you.
I want to submerge myself
in your warm musky essence.
I want to bask in the glow of us.

I want to know THIS is real!

Lost In A Moment

Posted on by

What I can say…
I miss you

We talk
We have fun
We play with words
and each other

It tickles me
YOU tickle me

I love your mind
I love your spirit

I love your smile

I love to touch you
I love the feel of you

I love when you reach out
and touch me

I love how I feel…
when I’m with you

I love the feel…
when you are inside of me
Probing
My mind
My heart
My soul
My being

Did I say that I love your smile?

I look into your eyes
I see YOU
looking at ME
ever so deeply
That heats me.
Heats me
to the core of my being.
You have no clue

It captures me
Enthralls me
Immensely

Wraps and zaps me
to brain freeze frenzie
And I embrace it
with a school-girl fantasy
Only knowing better
KNOWING
This ain’t no fantasy
It’s as real as real can be

That alone
In itself
Works

I have my moments, babes
You just brought this moment out
In me
For you

In Anticipation

Posted on by

Feeling you deeply
Missing you terribly

My dreams of you
Are filled with anticipation
When I awake
my first thought is you

In passing my days
I sense you
standing behind me
your arms embracing me
like a warm cocoon

I take deep breaths
I swear
I can smell you
Ethereal yet earthy

I close my eyes
I envision your smile
It soothes my soul

You are on my mind
in my thoughts
and in my heart

Feeling you deeply
Missing you terribly
Loving you anxiously
