Drowning in a sea of sadness
With all my strength I hold back the tears
My chest aches, my throat tightened,
as a melancholic melody sings in my head.

Father left, I a little girl of ten
His covering gone, no protection.
His guidance gone, welcome rejection.
As a young girl, passion arrived easily.
but intuition visioned upcoming pain,

My friend Debbie and I have been taking evening walks after dinner for years. Always around dusk we walk over to the old community next to us purposely to pass the house on the corner.

Gratefulness creates acknowledgment
Gratefulness creates contentment
Gratefulness creates generosity
Acknowledge what you already have.
Be content with it.
Be generous with what you have now.

Weight on my chest,
I can’t breathe.
Thumping in my ears.
Thoughts run through my mind.
It arrives unexpected, unwanted,
Crashing through my soul.
I hide from the world,

Sitting by the ocean,
Hear the seagulls sing?
The waves are so calm.
Breathe in the salty air.
I smile as I dig my toes
Into the powdery white sand.
Oh I love you grand endless water

Dear Lord,

In a field of heather, lavender, enveloped by rose bushes
The sun shines bright, showing off the colors of the delicate verdure
I close my eyes to smell natures perfume
But not for long

Sitting alone in a dark corner
Candle lit on the table
A woman takes a drag of her cigarette
The smoke encircles her
A man says to her "You look angelic"

I'm five years old
I love the playground
My friends are with me today
We race to the slide
Its my turn first
I fall on my behind
but we all laugh
So does the strange man
Hes very nice

Delightfully womanly
Whether round and full
or round an perky
They are always beautiful
Straight away they attract our lovers
Instinctively they nourish our young

Blissfully, I embrace you my prodigious husband; my sublime love for your soul infused into mine intoxicates me, yielding me into total delectation.

Heartbroken, Lied to
I am walking through a thick fog
Confused
Bitter
Lost
I cannot find the way back to myself
The fog gets thicker
I trip over my anger
I stub my toe on self pity

Indulging the senses
Naked in my mink
Fresh washed strawberries at my fingertips
I rub them on my lips before I eat them
Sipping brandy
The satin against my skin arouses me
