Yearning…

The house at the

end of the lane

calls to me

A light coming

through the back

door reminds me

of home…

but — a home I

have never known

 

I feel them sitting

there in the kitchen

sharing their day…

watching TV…

laughing…

winding down for

the night as I  pass

by yet again feeling

drawn … yet, am

not allowed to enter

a pull to my soul

a longing for something…

something just out

of my reach

but something

I need…

I want…

The family I

have never had

Nor will ever have…

Gone Again…

Source: We Heart It

It happened again

last night…

I dreamed you were

still here…

still alive…

 

You gently and 

sweetly cradled me 

in your arms

Reassured me things

would be fine

 

For a brief moment

I was happy

Until…

This morning when

the dreams and

you were both

Gone…

Courage

A Deep Breath

A Side-long Glance

Courage…

 

Or…

 

Folly…

 

Do I dare?

 

In the end

my shyness

takes over

 

Then…

 

With another

quick glance

I turn

And…

Walk Away…

Unified…

Source: We Heart It

Your scent still lingers

on the rose-colored pillow case

you detested…

On your tuxedo shirt and

felted Western hat

 

Breathing deeply…

The memories flood in

And…

I cry

 

Like Cohen wrote…

“… the heart is a rage

of directions…”*

there is no Mercy

 

I refuse to wash

that shirt or pillow case

The only pieces of you

that remain

 

I wear the hat when

the missing becomes 

too much

 

Your scent…

My raging heart

Unified…

*The follow line from Leonard Cohen’s poem #50 The Book of Mercy was my inspiration today.

 

” … the heart is a rage of directions, but your name unifies the heart …” 

Someday…

Someday…

Life will be

Different

Secrets will be

Revealed

Trust will be

the Norm

Not…

the hoped for

 

Someday…

You and I

will not hide

from each other

 

Someday…

You and I 

will not ignore

what we feel

 

But…

 

Embrace our

friendship openly

Release…

Source: We Heart It

Outside…

An early morning storm

is raging

 

Inside…

my head…

my heart…

an internal storm

is building

 

Thunder rolls…

And…

Lightning crackles

Ozone in the air

 

Hair on m arms

stands on end as 

my response

As I wait…

Begging for  the

Storm to Break

 

The Earth

and I

Both need

Release…

Halcyon Days

Source: We Heart It

Gone are the times

Those summer days

When all we needed

was one another

 

Halcyon Days…

That left us hungry

Yet…

Only for each other

That left us thirsty

Yet…

The only quench was

a deep kiss

 

We only needed

love…

laughter…

sun…

And ~

time…

 

Days spent in

each other’s arms

The only solace…

The only need…

The only respite…

 

Youth spent

Yet ~

Wants…

Needs…

Desires…

Still the same

 

I long for those days

Those Halcyon Days…

Wrapped in your strong arms

Holding me…

Leading me…

Teaching me…

to live my life

Enjoy myself to

the fullest

To love…

 

Old does not

mean aged…

Nor forgetful

of what once was

 

Old…

gives those memories

those days of youth

spent in love and longing…

desire and fulfillment

 

Searching still for the

will and passion to continue

But…

Embrace our

Some Days …

Source: We Heart Ir

There are times when

everything goes right

 

But…

 

Everything is 

Wrong…

 

Little things just

not aligned with the

Universe

 

Not comfortable

in our own skin

 

Irritations…

Accidents…

 

And…

 

Life goes on

Good Things

Source: We Heart It

Mama always said,

“Good things come to

those who wait!”

 

Her wisdom has 

always led me in

the right direction…

If only I believe…

If only I am

Patient…

 

Waiting isn’t easy

But…

It does pay off

in the long run…
