When Love Wins

When is love really love?

Love is love, when love wins. Determined not, by the way one spins! Love is oh... so much deeper than that. It's not about what's under your hat. Love is what you feel in your heart. One can't flip a switch,to make it start. You have no control,or even a say. When love bites, and comes your way. Beauty, they say is skin deep. Infatuation, knocks you off your feet. Beneath the outer layer. Every soul becomes a player. When...

Fire of Love

One's heart knows things that the mind can't understand.

Their eyes met, she recognized his soul. Giving an impious wink,she turned away. Igniting a spark, deep in his licentious spirit. Knowing that moment,they were meant to dance. An inferno of desire consumed him,he sauntered across the floor. Making his way toward her, blinded by her splendor. Glancing over her shoulder,sensing his advance. Touching her bare arm,he felt her tremble. Speaking almost sympathetically, "Are you...

Triumph

Laughter can conquer all.

Passionate splendor flairs Deep within beguiling eyes. Masked behind the staresJoyous smile, but a disguise. Defeating what went on beforeYielding orbs shed nay a tear. Anxious to smooth the score. Laughter now negates her fear.

Best Friend

We all need a friend to keep our darkest secrets...

When my world is darker than I can understand.When my sky turns gray with no light in sight.When nothing turns out the way, I've planned.When I can’t sleep at all, through the lonely night.I turn to you like a flower bends toward the sun.You can turn me around when I’m upside down.I turn to you ‘cause you’re the only one.When I need inspiration, when I need advice.When my insides are wracked with anxiety.You lift my spiri...

Sweet Cherub

Even cherubs need someone watching over them.

I may not be an angel,more like the devil's son. Circling on blackened wings, charred by life not the sun. Prefect, hell no I'm not,would never profess to be. Soaring high inside night itself,keeping watch over thee. Hearing your cries of anguish,brings a sadness to my soul. Through clouds of black and grey,I'll come to you in your dreams. When life gives you challenges,I can also feel your dismay. Swooping in to cuddle c...

Mr. Robin

Natures critters are such fun to watch.

Red breast gleams in the morning sun.Akin to a tapestry of pure copper spun. Singing a song to welcome your day.Early bird gets the worm, they do say. Watching you flit and chirp fills my heart.Making me beam, my days off to good start. I just wanted to thank you for the smile.Will carry it with me all day, every mile.

Overcome

"To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it." ~Charlie Chaplin~

Life is a journey. We travel it's paths. Though not always easy. It's always adventuresome. Sometime feeling alone.Encountering many challenges and obstacles. Our goal is to reach a certain destination. Many of us have several goals to reach. Some will reach them all. Others will only reach a few. We must always keep in mind. New travelers will cross our path. Greet them with a smile.Some face the same obstacles we face....

These Eyes

Behind these eyes my demons hide.

Living things I can't undo.Bitter-tasting, like a rue. Nearly always askew.Into a looking glass I peer.Manifestation so unclear.Expression fraught with fear.Different gateways to my soul.One my present view,One I feel was stole.One looking back,One nearing it's final goal.One eye black,The other azure.One darkened,The other unsure.One filled with color,One dreadfully insecure.Eyes wrought with confusion.Left blackened by...

Hold The Moon In Your Palm

Remember, a smile is the prettiest thing you can wear.

Hold the moon in your palm.Remind yourself who you really are.See darkness in the sunshine.See brightness in the dark.Swim in life's oceans, breathe in the wild breeze.Give without expectation, venture out into the world.Be brave, set out after what you want and need.Hunger for adventure, thirst for knowledge.Be adventuresome, take a chance.Inhale deeply, exhale, let go, know what it is to be free.Adventure may hurt a bit...

Trepidation

I'm not what I've done, I am what I have overcome.

When one stands in the sunshine, the world around is always bright.It is easy to see creatures at play, enjoying beauty in nature's light.Things are visible and unwrapped, though some can hide in the shadows. Unseen things that can only be felt, when spirits and souls rub elbows.In darkness, one's mind can be deceived,as panic awakes to sounds being heard.Rustling leaves upon a gentle breeze,frightful things when one's vi...

Surrender

Things always look brighter behind a smile.

If I should quitWill I ever knowHow seeds set Burst and grow Never would I see Them bud and bloomIf I lock myself away In a darkened gloom Cry yes I can If things go wrongSing to myselfMy self pity song Let my soul Be consumed with blackBut no that isn't meI will always fight back Wipe tears from my eyesDusting off my jeansSearch out light and colorPlaying on nature's screens Observing flowers bloomAnimals as they freely...

Season to Season

Saying goodbye to Summer.

Autumn colors now shown Frost has touched your leaves Asleep soon beginning of fall Creating a patchwork tapestry First light alive with sparkle Awaiting a new warming sun To glisten with pearly dew Cooler day and longer nights Notifies Winter soon will come Summer is but now a memory Those long hot days on the run Soon a blanket of pure white Will envelope you for awhile Until the cold nights give way To Spring's lengthe...

Faces of my Past

Is it too late to make peace with past memories?

I do dwell too often on the pastabout things I had no control If I told all it would likely flabbergastthese memories from so long ago I am ashamed when being askedof the things that happened then Forced so young to grow up far too fastmy childhood stolen way back when Did I deserve to be lashed and trashedwhipped mercilessly told I was stupid Was I an evil child needing to be outcastfor my thoughts and my curiosities Alw...

Metronome of Life

What tic's and toc's await beyond this life?

Back and forth, never stopping in the middle long.Strapped to a pendulum, hearing that tic toc song. Sometimes flying fast and high, oh how exhilarating.Sometimes slow, oh so low and slow, very agitating. Passing the middle never staying for long.Captivated by this rhythmic tic toc song. Each day passes 24 hours, one can whimper or sing.Choosing to grasp the beauty, or only feel life's sting. Not knowing what tomorrow wil...
