How to describe this Can one truly imagine Does the heart really know What it is, this Emotion A need to feel A want that beckons A touch that traces A tingle that craves In you what is found Is Love and care A feeling of protection Alpha Male scent in the air A pulse that thrives Feeling the unknown Your hands guide A body, mind, a soul Those hands are warm They cradle a lost being River darkened from the past Yet clean...

Call me mine if you dare And know I will be Yours Nothing can compare Forever and a day We will reign Supreme above all Let your voice be heard Whispers become thunder We are to be us Only your eyes see me As mine shine upon you Two that know this is true Nothing held back Life, this is us Now is the moment Glowing with desire We hold on tight Nothing between us Names do not matter A whisper of sweet bliss Hold me close, ...

As the light of day warms my skin Your presence enters my thoughts Where you are right now Where have you been? How long must I wait To kiss you again? These lines are short Yet hold true emotion You are Mi Amor The only real notion Here I am Here I will stay Until the moment We touch again You hold so much more Than just my heart You hold my world In the palm of warm cupped hands That smile that keeps My days in tact Wit...

In the dark a black cat silhouetted by the moonFright night and gathering treats is coming soon Sparking memories in my mind of days pastSmiling to myself man that used to be a blast Dressing up in costume going door to doorCollecting goodies in a sack never a chore Waiting for dark to arrive always took so longUs kids running to each house ringing the gong Door would open as we shouted trick or treatHolding our sacks out...

My second baby on the wayPit tar patter my heart wentExpecting, worried, jittery, a glowWarmth in my heart, love in my mindWish for a fairy princess in our livesLand of exotic where I livedConspicuous for worshipping goddessesNotorious for killing daughters in womb for wish of a boyBlink of eye time passed byA kiss of butterfly wingsI feel you unfurling in my wombJoy of life lighting my beingSometimes alone sometimes lone...

There wasn't a day that went by where Lily didn't think about the baby. Blonde hair that fell in wisps around her delicate elfin face. The way the sun had lit her from behind so that she appeared as if surrounded by a halo of light. Her smile, pulling at Lily's Heart, as little fingers waved hello.This was the vision Lily Green had had of her child six months before she'd fallen pregnant. Despite this, she and Ben were st...

The twenty-ninth of April. Ten years since I last saw my dad. Ten years and two days since I last heard his voice and knew that he heard me when I told him I loved him. I have not been able to tell him that I got a 2:1 in my degree (he died the day before my final, but it’s okay, as I hadn’t studied); that I passed my driving test first time round; that I got a real full-time job and discovered I’m not too bad at puppetry...

Once I thought that the Sun never again would shine upon my skin. Those warm rays that made me thrive with steady beat. For my days were dark, so cold and sad. The Moon would cradle my tears as they endlessly flowed. Tears that I kept hidden, only the beautiful Moon knew of my pain. This morning I see the Sun, I feel it's warmth within my heart. Today is mine to share with you, this day is ours. The Moon is joyous, as we...

I was walking alone Lady Moon high above Guiding my steps leading the way The Sky was dark Black as tar The only light was her shimmering Love She looked at me with a watchful eye As I sat on the Sand, hands covering my face Distraught and Restless, as I cried My Heart was empty, sad and worn My days were null and full of pain My Soul was Shattered and Torn My nights were Sleepless and in Vain My eyes quickly changed from...

I had her name traced above my heart Cupped my belly, feeling the spark Within, I felt the beat of life, the echo of her cry Her breath a butterfly Brushing the cobwebs from the grave with her wing Oh you precious thing And she, oh she had his name tattooed on her wrist Delicate letters, a secret script A reminder of what is precious, and what is not And hearing that, I smiled and thought Of all the songs he used to sing...

It’s time to stop being cute and coy and simply wish you Christmas joy because the day is rapidly approaching. May you smile at all the lights that brighten up the winter nights and I’ll stop being caustic and reproaching. Reindeer should not swear at elves. They should just be their furry selves. (I confess I wrote the swearing scene.) Policemen should not shoot till dead an innocent Mr. Potato Head. (My work again, so v...

Someone who constantly makes you feel,wanted, needed, appreciated and cherished.Someone who never walks in front of, or behind you, but is always at your side. Someone who fills your mind, with thoughts of yes, I can do this. Someone who inspires you, to become more than you ever thought you could be. Someone who allows you to be who you really are, with no strings, or exceptions. Someone who makes you see, that there rea...

I have cried now and then Felt the pain flow in my veins Lived my sorrows In the ‘living daylights’ And been scared From the shadows at night And today when I stand alone I feel so…………….free I am me and me I am And I found me when I was lost And lost I was for a long while By my own fears And past moments in time And today when I stand alone I feel so…………….free It took a while to forgive me For reasons that I couldn’t see...
