It's the urge in your soul, When your mouth waters, Wanting to consume That which you've only tasted But to gobble brings guilt To starve brings stress And relief brings regret It's the moment you want to cry But you can't quite find the topic of your tears So you just sigh And softly, silently Implode It's the pull you feel To do things you can't explain Just yet And then you realize You're only dancing Into the gravity strings of the Universe It's the goodbye your eyes whisper To the wee hours When the magic colors fade The sun comes up, bringing daylight And morning Says a lingering goodnight... It's the Unspoken... That which calls your name From no particular direction Gives you a kiss And sends you off to school To face the bullies of the new day. c. 2001

Like love, It's hard to trust the spring, Smiling sweetly, Beckoning I must say I've been fooled before My skin left unprotected And in the sudden shifting winds, I was frozen and rejected But wearing too much blocks the touch Of Love's caressing breath Summer's promise is on Spring's lips But it's not quite here just yet. In the meantime, still I realize I just have to take that chance Spring's sun is irresistible, Love's breeze is like a dance. But I've been fooled by both before, Those two experienced players So I use an old New England trick: Always dress in layers! c. 2004. |
Celebrating all
that she is, loves, and learns Welcome to the fruits of my mind, rich with flavor and heavy with thought...bold and fresh, and sometimes bruised... Like life, they can be gentle or intense, tough or tender, full of pain or full of grace.
This is life through the eyes of a modern-day Eve-- An Eve who has seen and felt the ages, learned to live and dream in a world where we've already tasted the fruit... It's not always roses, but that's life... for bitter or sweet. ...aftertaste...I remember when life was simple and pure, when we had but ask and it be given. It is now a different day, a different time, a different place... ...A mile in my shoes...
