The Journey Called Life

As I walk through this journey called life
Let me walk with 
Open hands…so I do not grasp the things I must let go of
Open ears…to hear God’s voice
Open eyes…to see where He’s leading
An open mind… to explore new things and new adventures
And an open heart… to be willing to accept all that God has in store for me

Waking

In those special moments where dreams meet reality and new dreams begin

My soul stirs, my mind begins to wake still foggy with the night’s abstract illusions

I hear you breathing that slow, steady sleep breathing

I reach out and touch your hand

I feel you stir

The desire to be close to you overwhelms me

As I slide across the bed toward you…you innately sense my longing for you and 
your body begins to be aroused

The passion within me ignites

I want to be as close as two people can possibly be

I long to give myself to you

Softly I touch you, your body responds

Freely I give myself over to you…opening to you…welcoming you…holding 
nothing back

We are entangled, interwoven, meshed together as we consummate our love

Birds sing, the sun rises on a new day, animals play

The world is a symphony and we are its conductor

Directing the grandest, most sensuous love song ever written

The instruments play to our every move

Choruses raise their voices in one glorious crescendo as we explode in each 
others embrace

Softly we cradle each other, basking in the afterglow of our love

Quietly we whisper

A new dream begins

Summer's In the Air

As I walked this morning, so many sounds surrounded me
Summer's in the air
The birds sing love songs looking for their mate
Squirrels forage in search of those hidden treasures they buried last fall
A soft breeze is blowing through the budding trees announcing the arrival of a new day

Your voice, the most precious sound of all, fills me with warmth
It stirs passion, desire and longing
I feel peace and calmness
It’s intoxicating.  My head reels, my heart sings.  I walk as if floating on air
I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl with her first love

Summer's in the air, not only in the world around me, but also in my heart

Daisies Bloom Again

I have no sense of dread
The veil has lifted
Sorrow is gone
My heart teems with life anew
The sun has returned
And daisies bloom again

You

You are pure joy to me
You don’t expect anything from me
You don’t demand
You never manipulate
Your love is unconditional
You make me laugh
You make me feel warm and safe, like I’m wrapped in a huge fuzzy blanket
Your words are kind, gentle, encouraging, filled with love
You want to explore me with all your senses
You have changed my life forever...brought light into my darkness
You make me giddy
You change chaos into peace and calm
You make me feel special, desired, wanted, beautiful
You have captured my heart…touched something deep inside where no one has been before
You make me long for you…desiring to please you, fulfill you, give myself to you, wholly,
never wanting the times with you to end

Reflection's of You

A new year always brings about reflection. Usually on the past year, but sometimes on many years gone by. Today I find myself reflecting and keenly missing my childhood. Times past that bring warm thoughts of visiting my favorite aunt and uncle in the country. Of waking up in the "blue room" and hearing muffled conversation at the breakfast table or the sweet humming of my aunt working in the kitchen as the smell of breakfast filled the air. Looking out the window to see the girls (white face cattle) grazing in the field. A little slice of heaven to this city girl with a country girls heart. At this time in life where I can see more years behind me than I can in front, the past comes sweeping over me with a great sense of loss. Loss of family, of innocence, of special, irreplaceable moments. But that loss holds beautiful and treasured memories that lent themselves to the warp and woof of the tapestry that was to become my life.

Thoughts

What is he really like?

Is he really that sweet, kind, gentle

Are his kisses as good as I imagine them to be

Can his arms really be as strong, yet gentle as I think they are

Will making love with him transport me to places I have only dreamed of

I’m not even with him and he makes me feel so special, desired, needed, wanted…what will
it be like when we are together

Will he change my life forever

Will he be the Robert to my Francesca

Broken Heart

Broken heart
Cracked and bleeding
That is how I feel today

Leaving now is
hard to handle
After seeing
your sweet face

Trying not to 
feel the gnawing
Buried deep inside
my chest

Can't forget the
two sweet kisses
As you touched
your lips to mine

When you wrapped
your arms around me
Time stood still
and hearts entwined

Amazing eyes 
so warm and gentle
Soft and filled
with love were they

Lost and Lonely
draw me closer
Two old friends
that time forgot

Broken heart
cracked and bleeding
Time will but a bandage be

Round the bandage seeps
my life’s blood
Draining as I onward go

Broken heart
cracked and bleeding
Guard it with my life and soul

Alone

Why do I feel so alone

Here I sit in a crowded room...yet feel totally alone

No one seems to look at me

Or if they do their eyes quickly dart away as if they can't bear to look too long

Why?

Am I really that distasteful

Do they have their own agenda that can't possibly include one more person

I guess I am really just as bad as they are

I don't make much eye contact myself

I find it nearly impossible to reach out

Why?

Can it really hurt

I feel as though if I fell over in the middle of this crowd, my body would go totally
unnoticed

Maybe they would just step right over me and go on as if nothing ever happened

I really am unapproachable

I give off the air

Why?

I thought I was over the whole fear of being hurt, but maybe not

Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm not afraid

I need friends, I want them, but I shut them out

I'm alone, so alone

I feel like someone's watching me

He's walking this way

He smiled and said, Hello

I'm no longer alone

Treasure

A treasure chest of memories
I opened up today

Little bundles tied with bows
So neatly tucked away
