Rocks

Let no man put asunder

. Out in the sea,Two rocks stand joined.Leaning together,Resisting time. Pillars of strength,They stand as idols.Lovers travel far,To admire the pair. The waves crash,And the wind blows.Year after year.Together they remain. Not the mightiest ship,Not the strongest storm,Not the largest wave,Can put them asunder. You are my rock,You are my strengthLean on me, my love,As I lean on you.

Hers Alone To Share

Her choice.....

My Body is shaking Heart close to breaking Just who the fucking hell Did that jerk think he was taking? You do not force a woman Down on her knees That is not her place You moronic sleaze! You ask a woman nicely Perhaps seduce her with finesse But you absolutely never coerce Because of your physical prowess A woman’s heart and body Are hers alone to share If given to you freely Treat them with the utmost of care!

Nobody's Victim

I refuse to be...

It takes so long To recover and heal From a physical attack It’s so hard to deal The physical pain Will eventually go But life is never the same Yet not many will know Fear will always linger Deep within my heart A simple tap upon the shoulder Might cause me to start Try as I might Memories often creep in I will never truly escape The lingering terror within Forgetting is not an option Try as hard as I might Memories and...

Vulnerability

Total free from society's wrath.

Vulnerability is a scary feeling of,susceptibility, defenselessness, liability,powerlessness, frailty, exposure, helplessness, weakness and nakedness. Laying ourselves open for the world to see means there’s a far greater risk of getting hurt. Standing on the outside of life looking in, wondering what would it be like,if I had the courage to show up and let myself- Me, be seen. Vulnerability can also be a powerful, authen...

Dance into the Light

I survived what no person should have to, and am stronger for it.

Reclaim what was taken on that long ago night when you chose to live instead of fight Accept that you survived despite that which was done he is buried within the earth 'tis you who still sees the sun What's gone is gone never to return from life’s experiences you did learn You have a strength within a passion that burns so bright Never hide in the dark again Smile, and Dance into the Light...

A thread of truthFlits through your eyesBut how can I believe?You’ve told so many, many liesAnd managed to deceive -My worn-out heartAnd mindAnd soulBled my every drop -To see you stand before me nowTakes all the strength I’ve gotNot to lift my arms to youAnd gather your embraceI watch as you see how I slowDoubt now fills your face -I raise my hand, to halt your touchAll trace of weakness fadesI see you understand me  Now...

You Are Enough

Someone should have told you...

Don't sigh Looking at your life While standing naked Bare Before mirrors Seeing your reflection Through his eyes Letting tears cloud Your own Someone Should have told you Long ago Should have taken your hand Touched your skin Kissed your lips Whispered in your ear With heat Fueled by more than Passion's fire Now words are not enough Sounds die slowly In the face of pain's Ugliness This goes beyond thought It is the spirit...

(9/23/14) Born deaf and not a sound to be heard Sign language was her only words Longing to hear any sound at all, even the bouncing of a ball To know what it would be like to hear a robin sing And the sounds of early spring. She learned to read lips and could feel the vibrations of musical sounds. The sensitivity in her fingers had gotten so good That the music she understood. She found that the guitar vibrations she cou...

A Mother's Tongue

Like a mother's love, a mother's words are power, strength and hope.

"We won't let them call it a break down this time,"  She says,  Wiping imagined stray hairs from my brow.  I want to laugh.  I want to cry.  I want to scream.  Medication is bliss.  I wonder their names.  I cannot control my lips,  Let alone form words.  So, mother you have won. What am I without my words?  My life's time consists of responses,  Under breath and at the top of my lungs,  To you.  I fight for the “I” of eac...

Losing Renegade

Making hard decions

** some may find to sad to read **We brought him home as a 6 month old puppy. Our only pet. We named him Renegade after a college mascot. ( funny how 13 years later my daughter attends that school!) He was the only for many years. Protecting us, loving us, inseparable. When he hit 9 years old we assumed his time was limited and got another pup, Duke. It took 3 solid months to get Renegade to accept the puppy but he did, a...

But with lots of love and support we are doing fine,My family may be different but th...

Ravens cry

a flight of self discovery can be a scary thing...thank you fuzzy for the strong shoulder

She once knew who she was She once had a heart She once had a life She always hid behind a smile She was an enigma even unto herself She never had peace of mind Always searching for the key to life Through storms and heartache and a sea of misery she flew Till her burden got to hard to bear Her strength at an end No more tears to shed Just a vast emptiness set in Her heartbeat slowed and came to a standstill Her world sto...

Mountain of dreams

For d.c., whose wisdom and strength and caring I cannot do without.

Lost and alone Held prisoner by the fears in my own mind No escape could I find I wandered searching for answers but none could be found I was about to shut down Then salvation came to me in a rich melody I stood and looked at a mountain that seemed so high, a sheer face of hard stone came to my mind Undaunted, I knew I had to be strong, for this journey would be long, The catcher of my dreams was a unmovable mountain tha...
