U G L Y

U...are the greatest gift from God

Got To...understand it is you that will always make a positive difference

Love...will embrace your soul unconditionally 

Yourself...and others like you, are the reason good exists in this world

A Unicorn Poem

Beauty in its essence
A silhouette in the midst
Stands a magical beast
Whose horn points to the east
Its wonderful radiant heart
Filled with the purest of mythical art
In a landscape so beautiful
Plentiful to say the least
Color so soft
Like the delicate silver sea
The gentle soul can be felt in its presence 
The wonder of it all
Is its true grace
That will leave you in awe
This is not a fantasy, newborn or a dinosaur
It is the one and only 
Loving unicorn

A Cowboy Poem

I was riding on the range
And I was feeling pretty good. 
All the cattle were behaving;
They were running like they 
 should.

The sun was just a-setting 
In a blaze of orange and red. 
And my dog was acting frisky 
Like a pup that’s been well fed. 
I had planned to build a campfire,
So I chopped myself some wood. 
Then I cooked my steak and beans
And I can tell you they were good. 

I pulled off my leather boots
You know the ones you buy in 
  town. 
I took out my heavy blanket 
And prepared to settle down.

The Quiet Heart

The Quiet Heart   

Life with all of its storms
Keeps my heart always in reform 
The sadness of a loss
Fills my aching heart with a criss cross
Knowing, I will see them once again
My failures I endure
Will skip a beat 
To the greatest defeat
I know in the end, it will be bittersweet
The lessons in life I will learn
Will not leave me with a heartburn 
But the ability to discern 
The heartbreak of love that once turned me away
Reappears again to the sound of cheers
On my wedding day 
The birth of my child 
Wonderful greatest heartfelt gift 
I can hear the sound of your little heart beat
The joy which this newfound life brings
Molding my emotions with every heartstring 
After all I have been through
My heart will always 
Remember my debut 
Every breakthrough part 
All with a beating of the quiet heart

Enter Into the Light

I feel my soul
I touch your strength
We are not forgotten
Like the ocean's of old
The skies of new
Can this be true
Heaven awaits us
May God bless me and you

A Beautiful Mess

The countless sleepless nights
Thinking of a way to win the fight of our life
Unbelievable fear 
knowing the end is near
Beautiful simple sounds of the ocean
Enters my soul, full of commotion 
Let the light guide us through 
The struggles we face old and new
I fear no evil 
Yet, I am scared of my upheaval
Understanding it is ok 
Feel the hurt and pain
And let the tears all rain down my face
Embrace the moments
My actions, they shall foment 
I need to keep on going
Be strong and know I belong
Always by your side
To hold you close and never say goodbye
The little time we have left 
I will always love you the best
As the stress explodes
Our life
A beautiful mess

Cold

The screams of the wind
Come across like a breeze
A blast from my breath
Flutter past my eyes
A whirlwind of air
Tickles the back hairs on my neck
Whisking through 
Sending a sensation 
Bold to the bone 
Standing at the bus station
Waiting to leave 
From this frost heave
The sun's ray
Trickles down to reach
My stretched out hand
To feel the warmth
Hitting my wedding band
Here comes the bus
Stops and opens its doors
The cold is now all yours!

Crazy Cat Lady

Crazy Cat lady

Crazy cat lady,
Having your cats listen to the music of slim shady,
Daily!
Crazy cat lady,
Feeding your cats mash potatoes and
Gravy!
Crazy cat lady,
I feel so sorry for your husband, 
Brady!
Crazy cat lady,
I especially do not like your cat, 
Brainy!
Crazy cat lady,
Once and for all, stop dumping all the dirty litter bags on the side facing my home. It smells oh so,
Badly!
Crazy cat lady,
I think I am going to be moving back to the city of,
Bailey!

The Destination

My eyes open to the feeling of the warm sunshine glow 
The bed feels so good that getting up will be slow
Peering through my bedroom window and seeing there isn’t any snow 
The news report was again a no show 
I go into the shower, watching the drain take away the soapy water flow 
Dry myself off with a rag towel combo 
Get dressed and put on my hand made boots from the people of Navajo 
I hop into my car, turn on the audio and begin to drive with gusto  
To where, I don’t know
Zipping, passing a few vehicles in a row
Telling myself, hope none of my tires blow
I see up ahead a stop n go 
Thinking of a hot cup of coffee or espresso 
Definitely feeling hungry for a gyro 
A pick up truck passes me by with loud music playing the classic Lionel Richie song, “Hello”
Triggering a memory from a long time ago
Snapping back into reality, looking at my rear view mirror, it is too late, I’ve passed it like a tornado
I quickly feel for my wallet, I forgot it! at home is my dough
Get back home soon without getting pulled over for no driver’s license to operate my pinto 
Home is destination incognito

Loch Ness

The essence of the majestic beast,
heading gracefully towards northeast.
Array of sounds,
howling in the presence of the wolf moon.
As Lock Ness keeps moving through the deep Lagoon.
Intense lightning strikes the backside of the mountain.
It keeps moving on with confidence,
knowing Lock Ness is not in distress,
going to an unknown place,
moving at its own pace.
With the dark water gleaming from the reflection of the night sky above,
Lock Ness will soon be out of plain sight.
It was amazing to see,
such a wonderful mighty creature.
For I just witnessed,
the legendary Loch Ness,
authenticity!
