Escape

Image: We Heart It

From the time I

could read on my own…

I have had my

nose in a book

 

I became a

super sleuth

with not only

Nancy Drew but

Trixie Belden

 

This lead to 

Patricia Cornwell…

Sue Grafton…

And 

James Patterson

when I got older

 

I am an eclectic

reader and love

many different genres…

From Laurell Kay Hamilton

hunting vampires with Anita

to Diana Gabaldon traveling

through time with

Claire and Jamie

 

Too many favorite 

authors to list 

Let it be known

I love books…

I love words…

I love to read

 

Books were there 

for me all my life

giving me experiences…

adventures…

Showing me an 

Escape into different

worlds…

minds…

all making me feel

special

 

And

 

A chance to 

turn my life off

for and hour 

or so and just 

BE!

The Trip

Image: We Heart It

Looking back…

things were not

as bad as they seemed

during that time

of my life

 

A gentler…

simpler…

time

A time I would love

to live again.

 

The Sages tell us

“we can’t go back”

 

My question is:

Why not?

I know it can never

be the same

But —

almost…

bearable…

livable…

 

Don’t tell me I

cannot return because

it takes too long

 

I must…

The  journey

is worth the

Time

Leftovers

Image: We Heart It

A drawer full

of things

this and that

t-shirt, socks and

underwear

 

Jeans and a

couple of shirts

left in the closet

 

All forgotten

just like

ME

 

All reminders of

the life we had

And…

No longer

Have

 

This was written listening to Mary Chapin Carpenter’s Almost Home.  It has been included below…enjoy.

Late

Image: We Heart It

I stepped from

the shower

warm…

good smelling…

dripping wet…

 

You…

couldn’t keep your hands

to your self

So…

back to the shower

 

Sensual…

sexy…

warm…

smooth…

slipper…

and…

a mutual bath

 

Unexpected pleasure…

Now…

we are late

for our own

Party!

Christmas Gazing

Copyright 2013

Christmas decorations everywhere

And…

It’s not even Thanksgiving

What is the world

coming to?

 

Suddenly something in a

shop window caught

my eye…

Something shiny…

 

The most Perfect

ornament…

The light shining 

through it and

sparkling off it

Reminded me of

a miniature

Gazing Ball

 

I may have

to have that…

Place it in an area

of prominence…

on a display stand

so the light shines

through it 

And…

Plays around it 

in all it’s beauty

 

Merry Christmas

to Me!

Fault Line

Image: We Heart It

Supplication…

is not always

a prayer

 

It is a giving

a total …

complete

release of

Emotions

 

A giving of yourself

to the only one who

understands what

lies deep within your

Soul

That Chance

Image: We Heart It

We met  by chance

More alike than different

The same vintage

Loved the same

music…

books…

movies…

 

Finished one another’s

sentences…

Laughed hysterically

at nothing

And

everything

 

Who could imagine

out of all the people

we would find

each other

 

That day…

standing in line for coffee

something neither of us

Ever did…

Yet –

both were out

of coffee at home

 

Spent the entire

morning drinking

cup after cup

And

Filling the gaps

of a

Lifetime!

The Right Love

Image: We Heart It

I spent my life

searching for that

right person…

The one who could match

my fire…

my passion…

my drive…

 

Wasted years thinking…

is that all there is?

 

Hoped it would be

possible to find a match

But…

in the end …

no one even close 

to my

wants…

needs…

fire…

 

Until you…

then I knew the

meaning of

“the right kind of love”*

that compatibility

meeting me equally

in —

passion…

sensuality…

sexuality…

need…

desire…

 

The One who completed me

the one I could give…

“a piece of my life!”*

Day and Night

Image: We Heart It

Until now…

This very minute…

At this time in my life

I only now realized

You are my first thought

in the morning

And…

My last thought

every night

 

You have such a

special place in my life

A different…

Unusual…

Unique…

kind of love

 

Our time together

is precious

Yet…

Limited…

Brief…

 

We both make the most…

the best… 

of that time

And…

What each has 

to give…

to share…

to feel…

 

I love you for

your mind…

your wit…

As well as your

enthusiasm…

And desire…

of me…

for me…

that no one has

ever had

 

You bring out my best

You tell me I am

intelligent…

sexy…

Classy…

 

No one has ever 

said those things of me…

made me feel special…

but you…

 

You give me 

affirmation…

and 

respect…

which is 

Love

Another Hotel Room

Image: We Heart It

Alone again…

Traveling…

 

A new city

Yet…

All the hotel rooms 

are the same

 

Functional

But…

Cold…

Unfeeling…

Devoid of personal warmth

 

I call…

You don’t answer…

Message left…

 

Alone with my thoughts

In another

strange city…

strange room…

Empty bed…
