Orion's Dream

The sun alights
upon the dewed grass,
forming a thousand diamonds 
to guide my path.
My heart creates its own erratic cadence
at the thought of being 
graced with your presence.
You, my most coveted dream,
My darkest secret...

Quietly traipsing after the sound
of your voice,
Catching breath-stealing glimpses
of you amidst the trees.
Branches dipping down,
concealing me from a world
unable to understand.
Trying vainly to quiet
my capricious mind...
Thoughts of you swamping me,
as a beach at high tide.
Envious of all blessed enough
to share in your time.

But, alas, the lives we've chosen
are galaxies apart...
Mine, that of a 
lonely satellite heart.
So, I shall steal stealthily by...
shining quietly upon your face.
Helplessly drawn closer...
By the gravity of your gaze.

Diary of the Other

I never thought I would fall so deeply in love with someone that I would be fundamentally rewired. Everything has become about him. My life, my every breath, is his. I am so lost when we are apart...my body feels hollow and I can feel the tug of my soul leaving to be next to his side. The happiness of being his is overwhelming but, so is the pain and sadness. Everything is amplified. Crying everyday on the way home from the pain of being apart from him. Staring for hours into the dark, unable to sleep because I just want to stare at his face in my mind a little longer. The effects of his scent on my body. How his arms instantly quiet my anxiety. His love satiates me in a way I never thought existed. How the touch of anyone else makes me physically nauseated. The pain of knowing he cannot be mine. Decimated by thoughts of anyone else's touch on his smooth skin, tasting his masterful kisses, or experiencing his dominance. I ache to be marked as his and mark him as m

Intro to Life as I see it :)

       All this open space for my thoughts...a bit overwhelming, really. What could I possibly have to say that anyone would be remotely interested in? lol. I am surrounded, in this world, by so many amazing people...so in the scheme of things a person feels like a tiny dot in the midst of humanity...I don't live a megawatt life but I am the blessed mother of 2 daughters and a stepson and stepdaughter...happily married and of the working class...and, though, I know that no one will probably ever read this, the most important thing I have ever learned is: Life is, very simply, what you make of it...whether you are rich, poor, healthy or otherwise...you make the choice to be happy with what you have. It isn't a choice that, once made, is set in stone...it is an ongoing decision that has to be made every day. You can always better yourself but you must always be happy with who you are before you can truly be happy with anything else...this includes being happy with other people. Y

Fateful Heart

Fateful Heart   What cruel trick is this.. to love and not receive? To reach for and never touch? Fate wields her spiteful power with an uncaring flick of wrist; and goes about her duty with nary a backward glance. "What of me?", I cry! "Is my pain unworthy of your notice?" "Does my heart's blood upon the floor not garner your attention?" Yet she strolls on, ever the cruel mistress.  I languish here in agony, bereft and alone... Until life wanders past and admonishes, "Come, you must journey on."
