Red and oh so opulent. Petals against your skin likeexquisite satin,soft and oh so beautiful.

They must be singing, songs of glory their sister has come home, I am assured the angels welcomed you home Streets of gold, beneath your once weary feet voice raised in infinite songs of praise I have no doubt; you are dancing Your sweet smiling face,looking down on us those left behind to accept the loss Tears of joy, of sadness will certainly fall gracing the cheeks of those that love you Hands will raise, voices will l...

You were my parachute,Always opening, rescuing mejust before I hit the ground.  Now, it seemsI am free fallingNothing is catching me this time. When will I hit the ground? You were my whiskey,When I had nothing but a needSo it seems,even whiskey goes bad.  You were my firekeeping me warmWhen my world was coldPerhaps, I’ll just freeze now. You became my everything,You still are, My love doesn’t end Just because you left. 

Thoughts fly through my head,  a million plus one because a million simply won't do. Pain, and heartache the mistakes I made yesterday a year ago, and the year before that.  Emotions become jumbled is it real, or is it my brain Is it playing tricks on me again. I react, but is my reaction true because I fear that what I think just happened didn't really Love and hate a jumbled fucking mess are these really my thoughts? I...

Lover, how could we have knownthis time last year, that you would not be here. That time would have run out. We planned on forever, today should have been the beginning and yet, our forever ended some time ago. They say time heals all wounds, and perhaps that is true. But enough time has not elapsed to ease the pain of you leaving me. Here I sit, upon this white sand as the storm moves in, the sky is dark, water rolling i...

Sometimes word can break your heart. They spread a lie you never thought you would believe. You spoke words of friendship and of love. I began to think that maybe just maybe it could be. Somewhere along the way I fell a little bit in love with you, despite what my brain had to say, my heart insisted. I knew it could not be this thing between you and I! And yet I was willing to try. I was willing to throw caution to the wi...

There’s a demon insideeating at my soul taking for itself everything I meant to give. Hold me close, never let me go chase away the shadows, he has created I never knew what love could do. The way it heals, and sends my demon fleeing, running for cover. Occasionally, he rears his head again only to be met by the shining light of your love. It never seems to fade, always there when I need it most. You never leave me to fig...

Perched upon my shoulderthere she stands in all her furry glory. Beautiful eyes shine with a mischievous glint she butts her head against mine. Seeking the attention she feels I have withheld. If that doesn’t work she will paw at my hair determined that I will indeed show her the affection she craves. When I get angry, eyes flashing a warning my body tenses she rubs her head against mine. Meow! No longer can I deny her my...

I reached over and turned the radio up as I drove toward the office. At 5 am it was too early to even be awake, much less headed to work, but the boss had called. As his assistant, when he called I answered, anytime of the day or night. Annoying as it could be, the pay was worth it. On this day, I thought about the vacation I had coming up. A friend and I were going to the Bahamas for five days of summer sun and fun. I st...

Had it been three months since everything changed? Marcus remembered that day as if it were only yesterday. He got up that morning, same time as always, six sharp. He ate breakfast, fed the cat and took the dog for a walk. It was the same as every morning. The cat, Nemo was a gift from his ex-wife. They had a love hate relationship, the cat and he. Every time he tried to touch the damn creature, Nemo hissed and bit at him...

I had a meeting in ten minutes and I really had to pee. In my haste, I practically ran to the bathroom stall. Quickly shutting the door, I set down, sighing with relieve as I began to pee. Upon finishing, I walked to the sink. As I looked in the mirror I noticed two men staring at me. I squealed, realizing I was in the men’s bathroom. I stammered my apology, explaining that I really had to pee. They just looked at me, lau...

Hidden in the dark,unsure where to go. You said that you would love me forever, until the end. Now the end has come and you are gone, gone somewhere that I cannot find. You left me, left me far behind. My heart is broken, my mind is shattered. You left me for your new love and I am, hidden in the dark, unsure where to go. I need your love, I need your touch Forever, until the end. I needed you to be my light, to keep me f...

The quiet of a morningso still and silent like cat paws, treading across the floors of my mind. It’s a beautiful day as the sun crest above the horizon. Coffee brewing it smells like heaven. Chirps fill the fresh, cool air as birds awaken to the new day. Dew covers the ground like a favorite blanket on a cold winter night comforting you with its weight. Higher and higher the sun continues rising. Brightening the world aro...
