As the years pass, life embraces us with arms of wisdom
As the years pass, life embraces us with arms of wisdom,
Teaching the soul to leave behind the chase for dreams of glass and smoke,
And to gently embrace the small treasures hidden in the everyday,
Time spent alone, like a silent dialogue with the self in the mirror.
In the quiet of nights, where sleep becomes a balm

the world embraces me with silence
the horizon is motionless in its red and purple hues
snow-topped mountains are shushing us with silent lips
the immobility of this presence does not hesitate to bring stillness
I look into the water’s depths; all the wildlife must be sleeping
there is not one tiny splash; this well-worn dock placates me
this is a place for eagles, but no

Play only love songs
For tonight’s starshine hours,

Hailed

To make this night completely
Ours ~

Lasting

gifts of kisses
Re-living our first embraces

In the depths of silence, where the soft earth embraces the body with an ancient gentleness
In the depths of silence, where the soft earth embraces the body with an ancient gentleness,
Where the grass dances above, whispering forgotten stories in the wind,
I find a peace that settles like a veil over thoughts, like a silent caress,
A place where time melts into nothingness, like a shadow losing its shape.
There, neither yesterday nor

Soft Kisses, Warm Embraces
Soft Kisses, Warm Embraces
Soft kisses dance on tender lips,
A touch so light, the heart it grips.
In warm embraces, love ignites,
A fire that glows through endless nights.
Your body curves, like art divine,
Each shape, a masterpiece in line.
Desire weaves through every glance,
A silent call to love’s sweet dance.
Your luscious lips, a velvet trace,
I lose myself in their

Embraces
EMBRACES
In the soft glow of evening light,
We share warm embraces, holding tight.
Passionate kisses, fiery and true,
Bind our hearts, me to you.
Gentle hugs that speak volumes,
In tender and intimate moments, we find our tunes.
With every glance, our feeling intensifies,
Lost in the depth of your adoring eyes.
Alluring smiles that light up the night,
Together, everything feels just right.
In

Writer who embraces Prolixity
a writer who embraces prolixity
sometimes refuses to edit even one word
claiming each one is vital
because she is inexperienced
does not realize editing makes her words more powerful
for when you are forced to eliminate,
your writing becomes concise and tight
some of my best writing happened
when I was forced to eliminate all unnecessary words

Embraces and Release
“Embrace and Release”
In the quiet of night, I pondered—
the art of severing ties, like pruning a tree.
The weakest links, once tightly bound,
now set free, like a maiden’s unclasped bra.
2024 dawns, a canvas for transformation.
Covid’s grip loosens, and clarity emerges.
Meltdowns yield to focus, tears to savings.
My sex life, like New York’s winter, chills.
Raw verses spill forth,

Defeat embraces the soul that has unraveled from lies, baring the pure truth
Defeat embraces the soul that has unraveled from lies, baring the pure truth.
In the library of destiny, where each heart inscribes its chronicles,
I lingered among the scrolls of loss, in the chambers of vast silence.
A single phrase echoes in my mind, a deep resonance:
"Defeat embraces the soul that has unraveled from lies, baring the pure

Beneath a veil of mystery, where the arcane embraces our fate
Beneath a veil of mystery, where the arcane embraces our fate,
On wings of dreams, through white traveling stars,
Through the mist of time, lying impenetrable before us,
Echoes hide calls that seem to fling jewels of the night.
The music of the spheres, encrypted in the silence of the ever-mute heavens,
Breathes through us, a starry chorus, on notes

In the obsidian abyss, I melt, feeling the warmth that embraces me
In the obsidian abyss, I melt, feeling the warmth that embraces me,
Awaiting the flight deep within me, a dream without any hope to measure.
Beside my own self, inseparable in this boundless world,
In an eternity without zenith, I feel tranquility flowing like a spring.
A sensation of wings runs through my veins, murmuring like a mysterious song,
The

Natures Walk
I walk through the forest by the lake
So many pictures I have to take
Freshly fallen leaves embrace the ground
Birds greet me with their welcoming sounds
Tree branches reach out L as if to shake my hand
A gesture I suspect asking me to respect their land
The morning sun extends its warmth to the ground
On the

The Beach
Basking in the sun on a warm summer day
Surrounded by palm trees with their gentle sway
The ocean waves dance with their bright blue color
Golden sand embraces my feet like no other
My sweetheart next to me and a bottle of wine
I cherish this moment frozen in time
Smell the sea and embrace the sky
It will capture your

My God Embraces You As You Walk
May Our Father embrace you?
Even tighter as you walk alone the way
On this trouble old world
Let us pray His will
