Music softly playing Shes sits hidden in plain sight Unremarkable to the random eye The cotillion swirls with a riot of color Long skirts rustle like leaves in the fall She sits in the corner watching No one notices the sparkle in her eye Her smile undetected by those who pass by She becomes invisible blending into the wall She longs to join the laughter going on She yearns for a spin around the dance floor So she sits lo...

Beautiful red maple Moonlight silhouette Initials in the trunk A single figure sits underneath A wish forms Thrown in the air Holding her breath Waiting Hoping Wondering Will her wish arrive? Shooting stars A halo in the sky Big dipper shines The constellations swirl in her eyes The stars sing a single melody as they twinkle way up high A simple symphony beats in her chest Dawn breaks lighting up the sky She stands, still...

A dream so real, my eyes shed tears A field of wildflowers in hues of sapphires and sky blues Such a glorious riot of color The smell of heaven floating in the atmosphere Sun shining down in a soft vermilion haze The breeze brushed my skin A gentle breath A soft caress I stood transfixed looking for him A light touch Warm hand in mine He was there His finger tips brushed the tears from my cheeks A moment of peace A measur...

My beach is beckoning. The tide is swimming in. With sand beneath my feet, Gazing out to sea, Breezes carry a kiss From your lips to me. Tides ebb and flow; Each day more will follow From my lips to yours To make a memory or two. On our sandy paradise, Hearts full of longing, With our tides rolling out; Seagulls soar. Summer breeze on our faces. This long passionate kiss; I will only need one. One day, I will gift you. Yo...

At first he didn’t notice anything interesting but just as he thought luck would abandon him this time, he caught a glimpse of an interesting object — quite interesting from the viewpoint of an experienced macho in search of a woman. The girl was sitting alone at one of the corner tables and was smoking nervously. She was in...

I just ... Just want you to hold me. To hold my hand as we walk through the park. To hold me tight when I wake from a nightmare. Just want you to hold me. ... wish ... Wish for time. Time to talk. Time to laugh. Time to smile and breathe and be . Wish for time. ... you were ... You were okay. Not sick. Happy. I want to hear that laugh I love so much, see you smile as we Skype, know that you'll be okay when I get off the p...

A country boy I have always been,crowded places make me cringe.Open spaces are where I thrive,away from the city's fringe. Out where not many dare to venture,is where I always want to be.Walking mountain trails cool and crisp,or deserted beaches by the sea. Listening to the birds sing their songs,or watching animals cavort.Hearing the waves lapping at the shore,or sounds of a whale's snort. Sunsets at the edge of an open...

Let us occupy the hearts of our enemies and take the streets of their minds, so they will follow us to the places they’ve forgotten. Let us occupy their hair so they can feel the fierce wind and foul weather blowing and know the storms coming to our lives. Let us occupy their skin so they will feel the heat and stand on the parched land and with us pray for the green radiance of the earth. Let us occupy their eyes so they...
